# Traceability Guide
|
|
|
|
> **Guide Origin**: Official | **ArcKit Version**: [VERSION]
|
|
|
|
`/arckit:traceability` produces a forward/backward traceability matrix linking requirements to design, implementation, tests, and operational artefacts.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Inputs
|
|
|
|
| Artefact | Used for |
|
|
|----------|----------|
|
|
| Requirements (`ARC-<id>-REQ-v1.0.md`) | Source requirements with IDs |
|
|
| Design reviews, diagrams | Map requirement → component |
|
|
| Backlog/test evidence | Link to implementation and verification |
|
|
| Service design / ops docs | Close the loop to run and monitor |
|
|
|
|
Run after design reviews or at least once per sprint to maintain coverage.
|
|

|
|
|
## Command
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/arckit:traceability Generate traceability matrix for <project>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output: `projects/<id>/ARC-<id>-TRAC-v1.0.md` (traceability matrix with coverage metrics and gap analysis)
|
|
|
|
> **Auto-versioning**: Re-running this command when a document already exists automatically increments the version (minor for refreshed content, major for changed scope) instead of overwriting.

## Matrix Snapshot
|
|
|
|
| Requirement | Design | Implementation | Tests | Ops |
|
|
|-------------|--------|----------------|-------|-----|
|
|
| FR-012 Payment approvals | PaymentService (HLD), Approval Workflow (DLD) | `services/payment.py` | `tests/payment/test_approvals.py` | Runbook section 3 |
|
|
| NFR-S-004 Encryption at rest | Security architecture | Terraform KMS module | `tests/security/test_kms_rotation.py` | `/arckit:secure` evidence |
|
|
|
|
Gaps appear when any column lacks references.

|
## Gap Triage Checklist
|
|
|
|
- Missing tests? Create stories and flag as release blocker if “MUST” requirement.
|
|
- Design mismatch? Update HLD/DLD or retire redundant components.
|
|
- Orphan artefacts? Remove or link to new requirements to avoid scope creep.
|
|
- Compliance evidence absent? Run relevant commands (`/arckit:secure`, `/arckit:dpia`, `/arckit:ai-playbook`).

## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Automate matrix generation in CI to detect regressions.
|
|
- Use coverage percentages in governance packs and release go/no-go meetings.
|
|
- Keep matrix lightweight by referencing artefact IDs/paths rather than copying content.
