SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Ensures tasks cannot be executed without explicit validation by enforcing required validation metadata and updating the task's epistemic_state to validated, creating an auditable trust baseline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces explicit validation info: who validated and why.
  • Recomputes and stores the validation hash (intent_hash) and updates last_reviewed_at.
  • Maintains an auditable frontmatter trail for governance and compliance.
  • Use Case: before launching critical task work, validate the task to promote it from draft to validated state.

Quick Start

Validate a target task directory by providing the validator identity and reason for validation.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate tasks and enforce explicit who and why metadata before execution?▼

Task validation enforces explicit validation metadata by requiring validator identity and reason, recomputing the intent_hash, and updating the epistemic_state to validated to prevent unvalidated execution.

What is an epistemic_state and how does task validation update it?▼

An epistemic_state tracks task trust status. Validation updates this frontmatter field to validated, creating an auditable trust baseline by recording who validated it and why.

How do I compute and store a validation hash for a task directory?▼

Compute a validation hash by running the task_hash tool during validation. This recomputes and stores the intent_hash in the task frontmatter to verify task integrity.

Can I use task validation to maintain an auditable frontmatter trail for governance?▼

Yes, task validation maintains an auditable frontmatter trail by updating validated_by, validated_reason, last_reviewed_at, and intent_hash fields to support governance and compliance requirements.

When should I run task validation on my workflow?▼

Run task validation before launching critical task work. It promotes tasks from draft to validated state, ensuring explicit trust evidence is recorded prior to execution.
