traceability-render

traceability-render is a skill for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 44 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for a readable traceability document covering one software module’s requirements, designs, tests, code locations, and dependencies. Traceability means linking planned behavior to implementation and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a module, load project ID registries, render module-scoped documentation, show dependency edges, and write an idempotent Markdown report.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers and auditors one place to check whether a module’s requirements are implemented and tested, including code without matching records. It also shows the module’s actual import relationships.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

traceability-render scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Skill: traceability-render

Use this skill when a reviewer or auditor needs a human-readable view of one module's traceability. Produces a markdown document with anchors that resolve in any markdown renderer, no Sphinx required.

Inputs

  • <module-id> — e.g., P1.SP1.M1. If the project uses default decomposition, just M1 is accepted.

Steps

  1. Validate the module exists. Read programs.yaml; confirm the module is declared.

  2. Load the registry. Read library/_ids.md and library/_code-index.md.

  3. Filter to the module. Keep only IDs whose module assignment matches.

  4. Render the module scope. Use render_module_scope.

  5. Render the dependency graph. Walk source-file imports to derive the actual_edges. Use render_module_dependency_graph.

  6. Concatenate scope + dependency graph into one document.

  7. Write to docs/traceability/<module-id>.md. Idempotent.

  8. Print the path of the rendered document.

Done criteria

  • Document written.
  • Contains REQs, DESs, TESTs, code, orphan code, dependency graph.
  • Idempotent.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
