To validate behavior contracts before planning, run a pre-plan gate script that checks spec.md and feature.feature files for alignment and lint compliance. This ensures your repository structure is synchronized and prevents architectural drift before development begins.

A pre-plan workflow gate is a mandatory validation step that verifies feature specifications are technically sound. It checks that spec.md and feature.feature files pass linting requirements and are fully synchronized before proceeding to the planning phase.

Yes, behavior contract validation requires a bash-compatible environment to execute the gate script against your repository structure. The script relies on bash to verify the synchronization and lint status of your spec.md and feature.feature files.

To check if spec.md and feature.feature files are synchronized, execute the pre-plan validation script from your repository root. The script automatically detects misalignment and linting errors in your behavior contracts to prevent planning errors.

Feature specification linting fails before the planning phase when behavior contracts in spec.md and feature.feature files are not aligned. Running the pre-plan gate script identifies these synchronization and lint errors so you can fix them before development planning.

Yes, you can use contract validation for UI component implementation planning. Running the pre-plan gate confirms your feature specification is technically sound and ready for the planning process by verifying spec.md and feature.feature file consistency.
