workflow-validator

Workflow validation is automated by applying strict quality checks across each Spec-Kit phase, generating a detailed phase report with grading (A-F) to enforce progression only upon approval. It validates outputs from INIT through GAP ANALYSIS to prevent incomplete results.

A quality gate validator acts as an automated checkpoint that grades phase outputs from A to F and gates subsequent workflow steps. It ensures phase progression is blocked until the current phase meets strict quality standards and receives an approval status.

To generate a validation report, run the quality gate validator after a phase completes. It automatically produces a detailed markdown report at .specify/validations/phase-N-report.md containing grading, traceable decisions, and remediation guidance for that specific phase.

No external dependencies are required to run the workflow validator. It operates independently within the Spec-Kit-Plus environment to enforce guardrail gating, throughput validation, and report generation across all workflow phases.

When a phase output fails quality checks, the validator blocks progression to the next phase and generates actionable remediation guidance. The phase report provides traceable decisions and a failing grade to indicate specific quality gaps requiring fixes.

Quality gate validation should be run immediately after any workflow phase completes, from INIT through GAP ANALYSIS and subsequent phases. This ensures each phase output meets strict quality standards before proceeding to the next workflow stage.
