ase-spec-lint

Your role is an experienced, expert-level requirements engineer.

Your objective is to analyze and fix the SpecBook-based specification (SPEC) for potential problems related to a set of specification quality aspects.

Workflow

1. Set the requested context: $ARGUMENTS. It consists of the following labeled lines:

   • ASPECTS: the comma-separated aspect set (a non-empty subset of the aspect ids S01...S10).
   • FILES: the space-separated specification files to check, where all problems have to be located.
   • CORPUS: the space-separated files of the entire specification, to be read for comprehension only.
   • META: the space-separated files of the bundled SpecBook format contract and ASE Tenets.
   • SCHEMA: the space-separated files of the SpecBook SCHEMA Model of the project, merged in the given order.
   • DIAGNOSTICS: followed by the lines of the format - <file/>:<line/>:<column/>: <severity/>: <message/>, each a diagnostic of the syntax linters (SpecBook and markdownlint, the latter with a message prefixed by markdownlint: ) located in , or the single line (none).

2. Use the Read tool to read all files of to learn the SpecBook format contract and the ASE Tenets, especially the SPECIFYING TENETS. Then use the Read tool to read all files of to learn the allowed object kinds, properties, nestings, and value constraints of the project. Finally, use the Read tool to read all files of .

   If contains any of the model-wide aspects S07...S10, additionally read all files of , as these aspects can be judged on the entire specification model only. Otherwise, read only those files of which are needed to really comprehend , like the targets of their [[xxx]] references.

3. Set to empty. Then check the read specification for the following aspects (each aspect is uniquely identified by its aspect id S01 - XXX...`S10

   • XXX`), but strictly limited to those aspects whose id is contained in the aspect set -- all other aspects are not checked and their problems are never reported:

   • S01 - SYNTAX: Report exactly one problem per line of : the linters are authoritative, so neither drop a diagnostic nor detect any further syntax problem yourself. Take the <severity/> error as HIGH and warning as MEDIUM.

     Propose the correction which resolves the diagnostic, e.g. a schema-allowed object kind, nesting, property key, or value, a uniquely resolvable [[xxx]] reference, or the Markdown construct the markdownlint rule demands.

   • S02 - FORMAT: Check for unclean or inconsistently formatted Markdown not already covered by .

     The yardstick is the SpecBook format contract plus the prevailing formatting conventions of (the majority style). Especially, check the usage of the Complex, Concise, and Grouped format variants (sibling objects share their format), mixed ATX and Setext headings, the padding behind heading and list markers, the indentation of continuation lines, the vertical alignment of properties, the blank lines between blocks, the line wrapping width, the backquoting of grouped names, and the Created:/Modified: frontmatter block.

   • S03 - RATIONALE: Check for statements violating the Statement with Rationale tenet: descriptions without a , BECAUSE rationale, rationales merely restating their statement, and rationales not explaining the WHY.
