FAQPage Schema
How do I verify plan steps and generate verification documentation for a software workflow?

To verify plan steps, you execute verification criteria from a PLAN.md file and generate a VERIFICATION.md report. This process systematically validates phase completion and records traceable evidence with a final PASSED or FAILED status.

What is the best way to automate phase gate verification in a DevOps pipeline?

Automating phase gate verification involves reading defined acceptance criteria from PLAN.md and auto-generating a VERIFICATION.md file. This yields deterministic phase results and traceable evidence, ensuring formal validation before advancing stages.

How do I create a traceable verification report with PASSED or FAILED status for software development?

Creating a traceable verification report requires executing planned validation steps and recording the evidence in VERIFICATION.md. The generated document contains a table of step results and a final PASSED or FAILED indicator for full traceability.

Do I need a specific planning file format to run automated verification step execution?

Yes, you need a repository containing a PLAN.md file within a .planning directory. The verification process reads this specific markdown format to execute steps and output the corresponding VERIFICATION.md document.

Can I use this verification approach for software projects requiring formal phase completion before proceeding?

Yes, this verification approach is specifically designed for software development workflows requiring formal phase completion. It executes planned steps, collects evidence, and outputs a status report to satisfy deterministic phase gate requirements.

Why does my verification report show a FAILED status when running workflow planning steps?

A FAILED status in your verification report indicates that one or more acceptance criteria defined in PLAN.md were not met during execution. The generated VERIFICATION.md provides a table detailing which specific step results caused the failure.
