infrastructure-validation-template

Infrastructure validation automates checks to confirm deployment readiness and prevent incomplete deliverables. This Skill provides CloudFormation Loop validation templates that gate deployments across confidence levels, consensus stages, and decision points, catching issues early in the pipeline.

Validation checks deliverable existence, success criteria compliance, security posture, and logging expectations. It detects vapor—incomplete or missing resources—and enforces multi-mode thresholds across Loop 3 confidence gates, Loop 2 consensus, and product-owner approvals with built-in retry and coordination flows.

Yes. The templates work directly with jq for parsing and filtering validation data. You can pipe infrastructure JSON through jq to extract validation results, audit evidence, and gate decisions from the evidence store.

Use the validation templates to define checks at each stage—confidence gating, consensus evaluation, and owner decisions. The Skill handles multi-mode thresholds, retries, and coordination automatically, with TypeScript typing and CLI wrappers for integration into your deployment pipeline.

Validation maintains an evidence store for compliance and troubleshooting. Every gate decision, consensus result, and deliverable check is logged, creating a complete audit trail of what was validated, when, and by whom.

Yes. The templates integrate across CloudFormation Loop's existing stages—Loops 2 and 3, confidence gating, and consensus workflows. They apply standard validation logic without restructuring your current approval architecture.
