hierarchy-validation

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.
