SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Auditors validate RFC documents for format compliance, executable readiness, and alignment with AGENT_EXECUTION_PROTOCOL, enabling fast, read-only validation before human review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Front-matter validation: checks required fields (id, title, status, owner) and filename pattern.
  • Structural validation: verifies section order and presence (Mission, Context, Non-goals, Design, Steps, Tests, Post-checks, Rollback, Updates, Changelog).
  • Execution-readiness assessment: ensures Step instructions are well-formed and unambiguous for model-assisted auditing.

Quick Start

Run the validator on rfcs/RFC-<id>-*.md to perform initial structure and front-matter checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate RFC document format and readiness before human review?

RFC front-matter validation checks required fields including id, title, status, and owner, while also verifying that the filename matches the expected RFC-<id>-*.md pattern for consistent document identification.

What sections are required for structural compliance in an RFC document?

Structural compliance in an RFC document requires sections to appear in a specific order: Mission, Context, Non-goals, Design, Steps, Tests, Post-checks, Rollback, Updates, and Changelog.

How does execution-readiness assessment work for RFC step instructions?

Execution-readiness assessment verifies that Step instructions within the RFC are well-formed and unambiguous, ensuring the documentation is clear enough for model-assisted auditing in a controlled agent execution workflow.

Can I use this RFC auditing process in a controlled agent execution workflow?

Yes, this RFC auditing process is designed specifically for controlled agent execution workflows to verify AGENT_EXECUTION_PROTOCOL alignment, enabling fast and read-only validation of documentation before human review.

What is the best way to automate quality assurance for protocol-hazard compliance in RFCs?

Automating quality assurance for protocol-hazard compliance involves running a read-only validator on RFC files to systematically check front-matter fields, section order, and step instruction structure.
