To validate a development plan before execution, check your PLAN.md against six critical dimensions: requirement coverage, task completeness, dependency correctness, planned key links, scope sanity, and verification derivation to ensure readiness.

Plan validation in agentic workflows is a quality gate process that prevents execution failures by rigorously checking PLAN.md files for missing elements, incorrect dependencies, scope creep, and unlinked components before the sprint starts.

You can check dependency correctness and task completeness by validating the plan file to identify blockers and warnings related to missing elements, incorrect dependencies, and improperly defined tasks before initiating execution.

Yes, plan validation prevents scope creep by applying a scope sanity check to your PLAN.md, ensuring all planned tasks are well-defined, dependencies are correctly set up, and the overall scope remains manageable for the sprint.

You need to run a plan file validation check before initiating a complex development sprint to ensure all planned tasks are well-defined, dependencies are set up correctly, and scope is manageable, thereby avoiding costly rework later.

Automated plan validation focuses strictly on six structural dimensions of a PLAN.md file, meaning it verifies requirement coverage, task completeness, dependency correctness, key links, scope sanity, and verification derivation, but does not assess the subjective technical quality of the planned implementation.
