spec-validation

Validate Phase II specifications by running automated checks on required frontmatter, body sections, and placeholders. The script processes specs under the specs/ directory and verifies cross-references to plan.md and tasks.md.

Required frontmatter fields are enforced through automated validation checks targeting Phase II specs. The validation script scans your spec.md files to ensure all mandatory metadata is present before implementation begins.

Check for unresolved placeholders and missing body sections by running the validation script. It detects incomplete specifications and provides guided manual review prompts for qualitative completeness and consistency.

Cross-reference verification to plan.md and tasks.md is performed automatically. The validator checks these dependencies within your specs/ directory and provides specific remediation guidance for any broken links.

The spec validation script requires no external dependencies to run. It operates as a standalone Python script within the .claude/skills/ directory to evaluate specification readiness.

Use automated validation first to catch missing frontmatter and placeholders, then follow the guided manual review for qualitative checks. This combined approach evaluates acceptance criteria quality and provides a gate decision on implementation readiness.
