Implementation readiness checks validate that PRD, UX, architecture, epics, and stories are complete and aligned before Phase 4 coding begins. You can run a readiness check by prompting the assistant to validate your artifacts and resolve any reported gaps.

Tracing functional requirements to epics requires extracting FRs from the PRD and comparing them against epic and story coverage. This analysis identifies missing FR coverage and outputs a final readiness report documenting any undocumented gaps.

UX and architecture alignment issues occur when UX documentation is missing or fails to align with PRD implications and architecture constraints. Validating implementation readiness verifies UX document existence and checks architecture support for UX requirements.

Implementation readiness validation requires PRD, UX documentation, architecture artifacts, epics, and stories as inputs. You confirm these documents through interactive prompts until duplicates are resolved and missing items are identified for Phase 4 planning.

Implementation readiness validation requires Python 3 as a dependency to execute its validation scripts. Without Python 3 installed, the scripts cannot perform requirements extraction, FR-to-epic coverage comparison, or readiness report generation.
