SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

BMAD PRDs often drift from standards, causing misaligned scope, vague requirements, and incomplete traceability. This Skill provides end-to-end validation of a PRD against BMAD principles, surfacing gaps and guiding improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive format detection and core BMAD section checks
  • Density, measurability, and traceability validation across sections
  • Domain and project-type compliance checks with evidence-backed findings
  • Generated validation reports suitable for human review and downstream automation
  • On-demand guidance to fix identified gaps and improve PRD quality

Quick Start

Provide the PRD path to initialize validation and begin the BMAD-compliant review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a PRD for BMAD compliance and traceability gaps?

BMAD PRD validation checks format, density, measurability, and traceability across sections to identify compliance gaps. It loads frontmatter and input documents, returning a structured metadata payload for downstream processing without editing the original file.

What is BMAD PRD validation and what problem does it solve?

BMAD PRD validation is a quality assessment process that checks document compliance against BMAD principles. It solves scope misalignment, vague requirements, and incomplete traceability by surfacing evidence-backed gaps without modifying the original document.

How do I check PRD density and measurability against BMAD principles?

You check PRD density and measurability by running an automated validation assessment across all document sections. The process evaluates these metrics against BMAD principles and generates a structured report with evidence-backed findings.

Does PRD validation automatically fix scope and requirement gaps it finds?

PRD validation does not automatically fix gaps. It performs read-only compliance analysis and returns a structured validation metadata payload, providing on-demand guidance so you can manually review and improve the document.

Can I use PRD validation reports for downstream automation workflows?

Yes, you can use validation reports for downstream automation. The tool generates a structured validation metadata payload containing standardized gap findings, making it suitable for integration into automated processing pipelines.

What do I need to start validating a PRD against BMAD domain requirements?

To start validating a PRD against BMAD domain requirements, you need the document file path. This initializes the review process, allowing the validator to load frontmatter and establish context for project-type compliance checks.
