SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Authoritative structural integrity checker for the EDPS skill suite. Validate hierarchy consistency across all levels of an EDPS process hierarchy. Checks cross-level participant type consistency (control-type participants at Level N must appear as external actors at Level N+1), boundary rule compliance at every level, cross-reference link integrity through the full tree, and participant label/type propagation. All file/link integrity and structural naming rules for EDPS hierarchies are exclusively owned by this skill; other skills (e.g., edps-compliance) delegate these checks to hierarchy-validation via a mandatory pre-condition gate rather than re-implementing them. Supports both full-tree validation and incremental single-branch validation. Generates per-level, per-rule validation reports with severity classification and auto-fix suggestions. Use when a user wants to validate hierarchy structural integrity, check cross-level type consistency, verify navigation link integrity, or run a targeted validation on a specific branch of the hierarchy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full-tree validation across the entire EDPS process hierarchy.
  • Incremental validation for a single branch, enabling fast feedback after changes.
  • Cross-level type consistency, boundary rule checks, and cross-reference/link integrity verification.
  • Per-level, per-rule validation reports with severity classification and auto-fix suggestions.
  • Interoperability with other skills (e.g., acting as a gate for pre-conditions) and configurable mode/verbosity.

Quick Start

Run hierarchy-validation on your EDPS root to generate per-level reports and identify cross-level, link, and naming issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate structural integrity violations in an EDPS process hierarchy?

To validate structural integrity violations in an EDPS process hierarchy, run a full-tree validation check across all levels to identify cross-level type inconsistencies, boundary rule violations, and broken cross-reference links. This generates per-level reports with severity classifications and auto-fix suggestions.

What is cross-level type consistency and how does it work in hierarchy validation?

Cross-level type consistency in hierarchy validation requires that control-type participants at Level N appear as external actors at Level N+1. This mechanism enforces strict type alignment and boundary rules across the entire process tree, preventing structural mismatches between parent and child levels.

Can I run an incremental validation on a single branch of the EDPS hierarchy?

Yes, you can run incremental validation on a single branch of the EDPS hierarchy. This enables fast feedback after changes by applying cross-level type checks, reference integrity, and label propagation rules only to the modified branch instead of scanning the full tree.

How do I fix broken cross-reference links and naming issues in my process hierarchy?

To fix broken cross-reference links and naming issues in your process hierarchy, use the auto-fix suggestions provided in the per-level validation reports. These reports identify link integrity failures and structural naming errors, offering actionable corrections for both human and machine-readable outputs.

Does hierarchy validation work as a pre-condition gate for other compliance checks?

Yes, hierarchy validation works as a mandatory pre-condition gate for other compliance checks. Other skills delegate file integrity and structural naming rules to this validation process, ensuring hierarchy consistency is verified before downstream analysis is executed.

What are the limitations of incremental branch validation for large process hierarchies?

Incremental branch validation for large process hierarchies is limited to checking only the specified branch and its cross-level dependencies. It does not detect structural integrity violations or reference link failures existing in untouched branches, requiring a full-tree validation to ensure complete hierarchy consistency.
