SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Align generated plans with architectural ADRs to surface misalignments and blockers early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • READ-ONLY validation: checks that ADRs and plans are in sync without modifying files.
  • PILLAR_1 to PILLAR_3 checks: verifies component alignment, interface contracts, and data model consistency between plan and ADRs.
  • Arch decision escalation: detects when new architectural decisions require ADR updates and flags them for documentation.

Quick Start

Run the architect validate tool against your current plan to confirm ADR alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions about adlc-architect-validate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a plan against architecture decision records?▼

To validate a plan against architecture decision records, run a read-only check that loads ADRs from canonical and working locations, executes seven PILLAR_3 checks, and reports misalignments without modifying files.

What does ADR compliance validation check in a project plan?▼

ADR compliance validation checks component alignment, interface contracts, data model consistency, and diagram consistency between your generated plan and existing architectural ADRs to surface misalignments and blockers early.

Can I get JSON output from architecture validation findings?▼

Yes, you can get JSON output from architecture validation findings by running the validation tool with the --json flag, which returns the structural results of the PILLAR checks and diagram consistency review.

Does plan validation detect when new architectural decisions require ADR updates?▼

Yes, plan validation detects when new architectural decisions in your plan require ADR updates, flagging them through architecture decision escalation for subsequent documentation and governance.

What files do I need to run design governance checks on a generated plan?▼

To run design governance checks, you need your generated plan file, ADRs stored in canonical and working locations, and optionally an AD.md file which the validation loads when present.

Why does my generated plan fail pillar checks during ADR alignment?▼

Generated plans fail pillar checks when component alignment, interface contracts, or data model consistency do not match the loaded ADRs, indicating architectural misalignments that require resolution before implementation.
