To validate a PRD against BMAD standards, provide the PRD path when prompted. The Skill classifies the document format and runs staged validation checks covering density, measurability, traceability, and compliance, generating a saved report with actionable next steps.

SMART criteria scoring in PRD validation evaluates whether requirements are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. The Skill assesses requirement measurability and density to ensure product specs meet quality standards before downstream engineering work begins.

Yes, the workflow detects whether a PRD is BMAD Standard, BMAD Variant, or Non-Standard, and routes validation accordingly. This classification ensures the applied compliance checks match the actual structure and requirements of the submitted document.

Requirements engineering validation includes information density, product brief coverage, measurability, traceability, implementation-leakage, domain compliance, project-type compliance, SMART scoring, and completeness gating to ensure full structural and quality coverage.

PRD validation catches structural, quality, and requirement issues before downstream design and engineering work begins. By checking implementation leakage and traceability, it ensures the document is structurally sound and ready for the next development phases.

An IN_PROGRESS validation report indicates the pipeline is actively running staged checks or awaiting user-selected next actions. Validation completes after all compliance checks finish, producing a COMPLETE report with persisted findings and navigable fix options.
