Analyze

7Analyze

Analyze is a read-only consistency check across the spec, plan, and tasks. It reports coverage (every FR-###/US-# has a task, no orphans), scope creep, and dependency-graph health — detecting cycles, dangling references, and which stories are blocked vs buildable now. It runs locally at zero model tokens.

Analyze validates the story dependency graph — the depends-on/blocked-by edges that decide what is buildable now versus gated:

Example: US-1 unblocks US-2 and US-3; US-2 in turn unblocks US-6, which stays gated until US-2 is done.

A story dependency graph: US-6 is gated until US-2 completes.

Analyze never modifies files — it only reports. Fix findings before you implement.
