analyze

# Analyze — the pre-implementation consistency gate You have a **constitution**, a **spec**, a **plan** and a **task list**. Four artifacts written at four different moments, by a mind that drifted a little each time. `analyze` reads all four *against each other* and surfaces where they disagree. It is the cheapest place in the whole chain to catch a problem — a contradiction found here costs a sentence; the same contradiction found mid-implement costs a rewrite. Sixth phase of the rsc-sdd chain (`constitution → specify → clarify → plan → tasks → analyze → implement`); the method itself lives in `../sdd/SKILL.md`. It is a **gate, not a worker**: it produces a report and stops. The user reads the findings and decides what to fix, and which phase to send each fix back to. **Report only. Resolve nothing.** Never edit the constitution, spec, plan or tasks; never open a code file to "just fix it"; never silently reconcile a contradiction by picking a side. This one is absolute because a gate that quietly fixes things stops being a gate: the user never learns the spec was wrong, the plan built on the old assumption stays stale, and the "consistency check" has manufactured a new inconsistency. Name the conflict, show both sides with locations, propose where it should be resolved, hand the decision back. **Model tier: `heavy`** (adversarial cross-reading). Resolve and apply it per `../sdd/references/model-routing.md`; routing is off unless `models.enabled: true` in `02-DOCS/wiki/...
