This Skill prevents bugs caused by invalid data by implementing validation at every layer data passes through, making the bug structurally impossible to reproduce.
projectDir caused git init in the source code, use this skill to add validation at the Project.create() entry, WorkspaceManager business logic, and WorktreeManager environment guard layers.I'm using the defense-in-depth skill to add robust validation for the file_path parameter in the file-upload service.

Multi-layer validation catches invalid data at entry points, business logic, environment guards, and debug instrumentation. This structural approach makes bugs impossible to reproduce even if one validation layer is bypassed, ensuring data integrity across your entire system architecture.
The four validation layers are: entry validation at API or function boundaries, business logic checks enforcing domain rules, environment guards preventing context-specific violations, and debug instrumentation for tracing data flow. Each layer independently validates before passing data forward.
Add validation immediately at API entry points to reject invalid input before it reaches business logic. Combined with validation at business logic and environment guard layers, this prevents empty parameters, malformed requests, and dangerous operations from propagating through your system.
Yes. Apply the four-layer validation pattern to initialization workflows: validate configuration at entry, enforce workspace rules in initialization logic, add environment guards for workspace context, and instrument data flow tracing. This prevents initialization bugs like invalid project directories.
In defense-in-depth architecture, failing one validation layer does not expose invalid data because other layers provide independent checks. Consistent error reporting and data-flow tracing across all layers ensure bugs surface immediately with clear context, making root causes traceable.
