- Ensures issue purpose is focused and aligned with project goals and quality attributes. Use when drafting or refining an issue; surfaces misalignment with arc42 goals or quality tree.
Issue Purpose Alignment
Validates that an issue's purpose matches project goals and quality attributes (arc42 §1, §10).
When to use
- After clarifying the idea, before drafting full issue
- When refining an issue that may drift from project scope
Instructions
- Locate project goals — read
docs/architecture/01-introduction-and-goals.md,CLAUDE.md, or README for top 3–5 goals. - Check quality attributes — scan arc42 §10 or requirements for quality goals (performance, security, maintainability).
- Compare — does this issue advance at least one goal or quality attribute? Does it conflict with any?
- Surface misalignment — if the issue contradicts goals or adds scope outside quality tree, flag it.
- Recommend — narrow scope, add rationale linking to goal, or split into follow-up issues.
Output format
## Purpose Alignment
- **Aligned with:** [Goal or quality attribute from project]
- **Rationale:** [One sentence: how this issue supports it]
- **Misalignments:** (none | [list any conflicts])
Integration
- Runs after issue-check-duplicates.
- Informs issue-acceptance-criteria and issue-out-of-scope.
