SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Task validation ensures upfront that ideas are decomposed into well-scoped, verifiable tasks that align with the concept_summary and backlog, reducing scope creep and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates each task against the canonical inputs: concept_summary.md, latest/features_backlog.md, latest/tasks.md, and baseline inputs to ensure coverage and alignment.
  • Generates per-idea run reports and updates latest validator outputs, with optional patching of tasks when allowed by config.
  • Produces run logs and updates the idea manifest to support traceability and governance.

Quick Start

Provide IDEA_ID to run the validator and generate a validation report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate tasks against a concept summary and backlog?

Task validation cross-references concept_summary.md, features_backlog.md, and latest tasks to ensure scope accuracy and testability. It generates a structured validation report and updates run logs to maintain governance and traceability.

What is task validation for product management?

Task validation ensures ideas decompose into well-scoped, verifiable tasks aligned with the concept summary and backlog. This reduces scope creep and miscommunication by checking coverage against baseline inputs upfront.

How do I run task validation for a specific idea?

Provide the IDEA_ID to run the validator and generate a task_validation_report.md. The process updates latest validator outputs, logs to run_log.md, and optionally patches tasks when allowed by configuration.

Does task validation require any specific dependencies?

No dependencies are required to run task validation. You only need the canonical input files like concept_summary.md, features_backlog.md, and latest tasks available for the specified IDEA_ID to execute the validation workflow.

Can task validation automatically patch misaligned tasks?

Task validation can optionally patch tasks when allowed by configuration settings. By default it produces a structured validation report identifying scope inaccuracies and testability issues without altering the original task files.
