SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill implements a comprehensive PRD validation workflow for BMAD, guiding a validation agent through discovery, format detection, density checks, coverage mapping, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, domain compliance, project-type validation, SMART scoring, holistic quality assessment, and completeness, culminating in a final validation report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Step-file driven validation workflow covering discovery, format detection, density validation, coverage validation, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, domain compliance, project-type validation, SMART requirements validation, holistic quality assessment, and completeness checks.
  • Dynamic routing for BMAD Standard, BMAD Variant, or Non-Standard PRDs with parity/go/no-go decision points.
  • Automated generation and maintenance of a structured validation report with actionable findings and next steps.
  • Domain and project-type specific validations, SMART scoring, and holistic quality evaluation to improve PRD quality and readiness.

Quick Start

Begin the BMAD PRD validation workflow against your target PRD to initiate the end-to-end validation process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a PRD against BMAD standards?

PRD validation against BMAD standards uses a step-file driven workflow to check density, coverage, traceability, and completeness, producing a structured validation report with actionable findings and a final validation artifact.

What does a BMAD PRD validation workflow check for?

The validation workflow checks for density, coverage mapping, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, domain compliance, SMART scoring, holistic quality assessment, and completeness to ensure PRD readiness.

How do I run a SMART requirements validation for my product document?

SMART requirements validation is executed as a sequential step within the BMAD PRD workflow, scoring requirement specificity, measurability, and overall quality readiness for downstream planning.

Can I use this PRD validation workflow for non-standard documents?

Yes, the workflow dynamically routes BMAD Standard, BMAD Variant, or Non-Standard PRDs through sequential checks with parity and go/no-go decision points to generate applicable validation findings.

When do I need automated PRD quality assessment and traceability checks?

Automated PRD quality assessment and traceability checks are needed before downstream planning and QA to ensure requirement measurability, prevent implementation leakage, and verify domain compliance for project readiness.
