spec-validation

Specification validation examines a prepared spec document to identify quality issues, ensuring readiness for downstream consumption. It checks for completeness, internal consistency, clarity, and verifiability, producing a non-modifying report with actionable findings and precise locations for remediation.

Specification validation is a systematic verification process that checks a spec document against documented standards. It works by scanning all sections to ensure required parts are present, requirements are discrete and testable, and no internal contradictions exist, generating a comprehensive readiness report.

To verify requirements are discrete and testable, run a validation pass on the prepared specification. The validation checks internal consistency across sections and confirms that each requirement meets acceptance criteria, outputting a report with severity levels and locations for any issues found.

Specification validation does not modify the original requirements document. It performs a non-modifying read-only pass to analyze the spec, producing a separate validation report with findings, severity levels, and precise locations to guide manual refinement and acceptance.

You can use spec validation for both new and refined specifications. The validation process applies to any prepared spec document, focusing on completeness, internal consistency, clarity, and verifiability to ensure readiness before downstream consumption.
