name: SSOT Validation description: Validates Single Source of Truth (SSOT) documentation files for parity with code. Use when user asks about SSOT validation, architecture docs, or project truth sources. version: 1.0.0

SSOT Validation

Validates Single Source of Truth (SSOT) documentation files to ensure they reflect actual code implementation.

What is SSOT?

SSOT files are the authoritative documentation for a project:

• FLOYD-CLI_SSOT.md - Project structure, phases, implementation roadmap
• CLAUDE.md - Agent rules and coding patterns
• FLOYD_ARCHITECTURE.md - Architecture overview
• DESIGN.md - Design decisions and patterns

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

• Validating SSOT files specifically
• Checking if architecture docs match implementation
• Verifying project structure documentation
• After major refactoring

SSOT Detection Rules

Files are considered SSOT if they match:

1. Filename patterns: *SSOT*.md, *ARCHITECTURE*.md, DESIGN.md
2. Content markers: Tables of contents, "Source of Truth" headers
3. Location: Root-level CLAUDE.md, docs/ directory

Validation Priorities

Common SSOT Drift Issues

SSOT-Specific Checks

1. File existence: Verify all referenced files exist
2. Export validation: Confirm mentioned exports are present
3. Path accuracy: Check internal paths are correct
4. Structure alignment: Directory tree matches reality

FLOYD Project Context

For FLOYD specifically, key SSOT files are:

• docs/Floyd-CLI_SSOT.md - Primary structure doc
• CLAUDE.md - Agent behavior rules
• docs/FLOYD_ARCHITECTURE.md - Architecture overview
• docs/agents.md - Agent system docs

References

• commands/check.md - Use --docs to target SSOT files
• scripts/parity-check.sh - Validation implementation
• .claude/doc-parity.local.md - User config file

Examples

Check SSOT files specifically:

Copy/doc-parity:check --docs=docs/Floyd-CLI_SSOT.md --depth=medium

Validate all SSOT files:

Copy/doc-parity:check --docs=docs/*SSOT*.md --docs=CLAUDE.md

Fix SSOT drift:

Copy/doc-parity:fix --docs=docs/Floyd-CLI_SSOT.md
