SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates that an implementation plan was executed correctly and that all predefined success criteria have been met, reducing risk and surfacing deviations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated plan validation: checks plan steps against execution evidence using Gemini CLI tools and agent-backed verifications.
  • Evidence gathering: delegates to research agents to locate modified files and verify outcomes across codebases.
  • Reporting: generates a structured validation report detailing status, deviations, and recommendations with actionable next steps.

Quick Start

Provide the path to the plan file to begin validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that an implementation plan was executed correctly in my codebase?

To verify implementation plan execution, you can use automated validation checks against execution evidence. This process compares completed steps against predefined success criteria and generates a structured validation report detailing deviations and actionable recommendations.

How do I validate that all success criteria were met after executing a project plan?

Validating success criteria requires gathering evidence of modified files and verifying outcomes across the codebase. Research agents locate the execution evidence, which is then compared against the original plan to confirm all predefined criteria were successfully satisfied.

Can I use Gemini CLI tools to automate plan validation for software engineering projects?

Yes, Gemini CLI tools can automate plan validation by running agent-backed verifications. These agents gather execution evidence across the codebase, allowing you to automatically check plan steps and confirm that all success criteria have been met.

What do I need to start validating an implementation plan file?

To start validating an implementation plan, you need access to the plan file itself and a codebase where the plan was executed. The validation process requires automated checks and evidence gathering via agents to verify outcomes against the documented steps.

What is included in an automated plan validation report?

An automated plan validation report includes the status of each step, any deviations from the original implementation plan, and recommendations with actionable next steps. It summarizes the evidence gathered by research agents to surface execution risks.

When should I use automated plan validation instead of manual codebase auditing?

Automated plan validation should be used when you need to verify predefined success criteria across a large codebase and reduce execution risk. It delegates evidence gathering to research agents, surfacing deviations faster than manual auditing.
