Frequently Asked Questions about kiro-validate-design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a technical design document before implementation?▼

Design review determines implementation readiness by assessing specifications against project constraints and requirements. It generates a GO/NO-GO decision with rationale, identifying up to three critical issues and actionable improvements traceable to requirements.

How do I conduct a spec-driven architecture review to decide go or no-go?▼

Conduct a spec-driven architecture review by interactively evaluating the design against requirements and generating a GO/NO-GO decision with rationale. This process surfaces up to three critical issues and actionable next steps to align teams for implementation.

What is structured critique in design validation and when do I need it?▼

Structured critique in design validation is the process of systematically evaluating a technical design document to ensure implementation readiness. You need it when reviewing specifications and architecture in Hermes workflows to determine if a design is ready for development.

Can I use this design review skill for spec-driven workflows without dependencies?▼

Yes, you can use this design review skill in spec-driven workflows without any dependencies. It operates standalone to assess design documents against project constraints, providing a GO/NO-GO decision and actionable feedback traceable to requirements.

What are the limitations of automated design validation for architecture documents?▼

A limitation of automated design validation is that it restricts output to a maximum of three critical issues to maintain conciseness. It focuses on structured critique and actionable improvements rather than exhaustive, line-by-line document editing.
