plan-validate-structure

Plan validation checks your markdown files against a 9-section Template 1 format, verifying section presence, order, hierarchy, links, and required fields. Run the validation script on your plan.md to detect formatting and content inconsistencies before committing.

Validate your plan before committing to version control or converting it into GitHub issues. Early validation prevents inconsistencies, ensures quality, and integrates seamlessly into your issue generation workflow.
