Coverage Coverage map
Every rule in the spec, aggregated by weight, pillar, and minimum level.
Numbers are derived from the rule catalog at build time — they cannot drift.

This generated projection is rendered from tools/spec-authoring/templates/AI-CONTRIBUTOR-COVERAGE.md.template plus AI-CONTRIBUTOR-RULE-CATALOG.json. The template owns explanatory prose and placement; the catalog owns row grouping, scope, level, pillar, and display metadata. Regenerate it with tools/spec-authoring/generate-coverage.ts; do not edit the generated output by hand.
How to read the numbers
Use this file for planning, not for scoring. It tells you how many checklist rows exist at each level and pillar so you can estimate effort before an audit.
For a conformance claim, use AI-CONTRIBUTOR-CHECKLIST.md. If this file and the checklist disagree, rerun the catalog-backed generators; both files are projections of AI-CONTRIBUTOR-RULE-CATALOG.json.

Cumulative closure bar
This table shows how many MUST and MUST when applicable rows a repository must close, or mark Not relevant with evidence, to claim each level. The “worst case” column assumes every MUST when applicable trigger applies. Many repositories will trigger fewer rows.
| Claiming level | Cumulative MUST + MwA (worst case) | New rows over previous level |

| L0 | 6 | — |
| L1 | 46 | +40 |
| L2 | 74 | +28 |
| L3 | 88 | +14 |
| L4 | 91 (plus 76 SHOULD rows resolved) | +3 MUST/MwA, +76 SHOULD |
