SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Independently validates the plan produced by /plan-pipeline:start. No code is written. Run /clear after this command before running /plan-pipeline:execute. Validation is separate from planning by design: validators that didn't write the plan are not anchored to its assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layer 1: Structural Validation checks the formatting, dependencies, ADR consistency, and CLAUDE.md compliance.
  • Layer 2: Specialist Review triggers agents (security, performance, UX, etc.) to review the plan content without executing it.
  • Auto-Fix Phase merges Layer 1 & 2 findings into actionable changes and updates ADRs as needed.
  • Issue persistence tracks validation findings for audit and improvement.
  • Auto-transition controls whether to automatically start execution when issues are resolved.

Quick Start

Run /plan-pipeline:validate to validate the most recent uncommitted plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a project plan before writing any code?

To validate a project plan before writing code, run a two-layer validation process that checks structural compliance and triggers specialist agents for review. This enforces ADR alignment and ensures all issues are resolved prior to execution.

What is two-layer plan validation in an automation workflow?

Two-layer plan validation in an automation workflow is a pre-execution verification mechanism. Layer 1 checks structural formatting and dependencies, while Layer 2 triggers specialist agents to review plan content without executing it.

How do I ensure my ADRs align with my automation workflow plan?

To ensure ADRs align with your automation workflow plan, use an auto-fix phase that merges structural and specialist review findings into actionable changes. This process updates ADRs automatically as validation issues are resolved.

Can I use specialist agents to review my plan without executing code?

Yes, you can trigger specialist agents to review plan content without executing code. These agents handle security, performance, and UX reviews during the second validation layer, ensuring comprehensive pre-execution verification.

Why does validation require running /clear before execution in a planning pipeline?

Validation requires running /clear before execution to maintain run hygiene and ensure independent verification. Validators that did not write the original plan are not anchored to its assumptions, providing an objective pre-execution check.

What happens if structural validation checks find issues in my plan?

If structural validation checks find issues, an auto-fix phase merges these findings with specialist review results to create actionable changes. The system persists these issues for audit tracking and updates ADRs as needed.
