description	Enforces tiered test coverage standards with three dimensions — line coverage by tier, spec-to-test traceability, and spec-to-code implementation mapping. Use before claiming code is complete.

vibe-coverage-enforcer

Coverage numbers don't guarantee quality, but low coverage guarantees surprise.

When to Use This Skill

• Before claiming a feature is complete
• After writing tests, to verify coverage meets standards
• During periodic coverage health checks
• When deciding "do I need more tests?"
• After vibe-spec-sync updates the spec — verify tests still cover requirements

When NOT to Use This Skill

• Prototype/spike code that will be rewritten
• Generated code (API clients, schema types)
• Configuration files
• When the user explicitly says coverage isn't a priority for this task

Three Coverage Dimensions

Dimension 1: Line Coverage (by Tier)

Not all code needs the same coverage:

Tier	Target	What's Included
Critical	>=90%	Security, authentication, authorization, payment/billing, data integrity, encryption
Business	>=80%	Core business logic, API handlers, state management, validation
General	>=70%	Utilities, formatting, UI components, logging
Exempt	N/A	Generated code, test helpers, one-time scripts

Dimension 2: Spec-to-Test Coverage

Which spec requirements have corresponding tests?

1. Parse requirements from the spec document — each atomic requirement gets an ID
2. Scan test files for traceability markers:
   • Comment markers: # req:[REQ-ID] or // req:[REQ-ID]
   • Function name patterns: test_req_[REQ-ID]_*
3. Map: requirement → test function(s) or UNCOVERED
4. Report: X/N requirements covered (Y%)

Dimension 3: Spec-to-Code Coverage

Which spec requirements have corresponding implementations?

1. For each requirement, search the codebase for implementing code
2. Evidence: Note which file(s) and function(s) implement each requirement
3. Map: requirement → implementation location(s) or NOT_IMPLEMENTED
4. Report: X/N requirements implemented (Y%)

Steps

1. Run line coverage for the project:

   • Go: go test -cover ./... or go test -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
   • JS/TS: npm test -- --coverage
   • Python: pytest --cov

2. Classify packages/modules into tiers

3. Compare actual vs. target for each package (Dimension 1)

4. If a spec document exists, run Dimensions 2 and 3:

   • Find the spec (same logic as vibe-spec-sync Step 1)
   • Extract requirements with IDs
   • Scan tests for traceability markers
   • Map requirements to implementations

5. Report all dimensions

Output Format

Coverage Report

Dimension 1: Line Coverage

Overall: X%

Package/Module	Tier	Actual	Target	Status
auth/	Critical	92%	90%	PASS
handlers/	Business	75%	80%	FAIL (-5%)
utils/	General	68%	70%	FAIL (-2%)

Dimension 2: Spec-to-Test Coverage

Spec: [path/to/spec.md] Requirements Covered: X/N (Y%)

REQ ID	Requirement	Test(s)	Status
AUTH-001	Login requires email + password	test_login_credentials	COVERED
AUTH-002	Lockout after 5 failed attempts	—	UNCOVERED
CACHE-001	Cache TTL is 24 hours	test_req_CACHE001_ttl	COVERED

Dimension 3: Spec-to-Code Coverage

Requirements Implemented: X/N (Y%)

REQ ID	Requirement	Implementation	Status
AUTH-001	Login requires email + password	src/auth.py:login()	IMPLEMENTED
AUTH-002	Lockout after 5 failed attempts	—	NOT IMPLEMENTED
CACHE-001	Cache TTL is 24 hours	src/cache.py:get()	IMPLEMENTED

Summary

Dimension	Score	Target	Status
Line Coverage (Critical)	92%	90%	PASS
Line Coverage (Business)	75%	80%	FAIL
Line Coverage (General)	68%	70%	FAIL
Spec-to-Test	8/12 (67%)	100%	FAIL
Spec-to-Code	10/12 (83%)	100%	FAIL

Action Required

1. handlers/ needs +5% line coverage — suggest testing: [specific untested functions]
2. AUTH-002 not implemented and not tested — implement first, then test
3. 4 requirements lack tests — run vibe-adversarial-test-generation in spec-driven mode

Suggested Tests

[Specific test skeletons for uncovered requirements, with req:[ID] markers]
