FAQPage Schema

How do I validate Discovery artefacts before passing them into Delivery?▼

To validate Discovery artefacts before Delivery, run this skill to check that Epics, Stories, PRDs, and strategy documents meet governance rules, contain required frontmatter fields, and include non-empty skills_invoked. It generates a concise Validation Report detailing pass/fail criteria and blockers.

What governance rules apply to Epics and Stories during Discovery?▼

Governance rules for Epics and Stories require outcome-oriented Epics with linked, measurable Stories. Epics must include generate-epics in skills_invoked, Stories must include generate-stories, and every artefact must contain a non-empty skills_invoked frontmatter field to pass validation.

When should I run artefact validation in the Discovery stage?▼

You should run artefact validation in the Discovery stage immediately after Epics and Stories are created. This ensures governance, clarity, and completeness are verified before the artefacts transition into Delivery, preventing blockers and incomplete requirements from advancing.

Can I check if a PRD has the required frontmatter fields for Delivery?▼

Yes, you can check if a PRD has the required frontmatter fields for Delivery by validating that the create-prd skill is included in skills_invoked. The validation process ensures all PRD artefacts are clear, governed, complete, and safe to pass into Delivery.

What happens if an artefact fails validation before Delivery?▼

If an artefact fails validation before Delivery, the process produces a concise Validation Report detailing the specific pass/fail criteria and blockers. This report identifies which governance rules or required frontmatter fields are missing, preventing unclear or incomplete artefacts from passing.
