Discrepancies Command

Discrepancies Command

View and manage documentation discrepancies. Supports two modes:

1. Code-to-Spec: Real-time discrepancies between code and specs
2. Brownfield: Documentation gaps detected by brownfield analysis

Usage

# Brownfield discrepancies (documentation gaps)
/​sw:discrepancies                  # List pending brownfield discrepancies
/​sw:discrepancies --module payment # Filter by module name
/​sw:discrepancies --type missing-docs    # Filter by type
/​sw:discrepancies --priority critical    # Filter by priority
/​sw:discrepancies show DISC-0001   # View details
/​sw:discrepancies ignore DISC-0001 "False positive"  # Ignore with reason

# Code-to-spec discrepancies (legacy)
/​sw:discrepancies --check          # Run code-spec check now
/​sw:discrepancies --severity major # Filter by severity

Arguments

Brownfield mode (default):

• --module <name>: Filter by module name (e.g., "payment-service")
• --type <type>: Filter by type: missing-docs, stale-docs, knowledge-gap, orphan-doc, missing-adr
• --priority <level>: Filter by priority: critical, high, medium, low
• --status <status>: Filter by status: pending, in-progress, resolved, ignored

Code-to-spec mode:

• --check: Run discrepancy detection now
• --severity <level>: Filter by severity: trivial, minor, major, breaking

Common:

• --json: Output as JSON for scripting

Subcommands
