bmad-validate-prd

To validate a PRD against BMAD standards, you run a structured workflow that checks format compliance, information density, FR/NFR measurability, traceability, and implementation leakage to produce a comprehensive validation report.

PRD information density scanning checks the document to ensure requirements contain sufficient detail, identifying sparse sections that lack necessary specifications for implementation.

Functional requirements are checked for traceability by verifying traceability chains, ensuring FRs and NFRs are measurably linked to originating inputs and downstream implementation contexts.

You can validate non-standard PRD formats, but the workflow gates these documents on user choice, offering optional parity analysis before proceeding with density scanning and compliance checks.

Implementation leakage detection in requirements engineering identifies when a PRD contains premature technical implementation details that should be deferred to architecture or development phases.

A Product Brief is optional for PRD compliance checks, where the workflow performs optional Product Brief coverage mapping to validate that PRD requirements adequately address initial product brief inputs.
