Project Drift Analysis FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill detect implementation gaps?

Accepted Answer

It uses a two-stage process: pure JavaScript collectors gather data from the filesystem and GitHub API, followed by semantic analysis that matches documented features against actual code structures.

Question 2

What is project drift in software development?

Accepted Answer

Project drift occurs when the implementation in the codebase, the documentation (like READMEs), and the project plans (like GitHub milestones) diverge from one another, leading to confusion and stale tasks.

Question 3

Can Drift Analysis help with stale GitHub issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it specifically identifies 'Issue Drift,' highlighting high-priority items that have been neglected and recommending whether to close, update, or prioritize them based on codebase activity.

Question 4

What is a reconstruction plan?

Accepted Answer

A reconstruction plan is an actionable report generated by the skill that breaks down necessary fixes into immediate (this week), short-term (this month), and medium-term (this quarter) buckets.

Question 5

How are tasks prioritized in the analysis?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses a weighted formula considering severity (critical to low), category (security and bugs weighted highest), and recency to ensure the most impactful issues are addressed first.
