Design Validation
Verify that all design documents are consistent and complete before implementation begins.
Process
- •Check spec → architecture coverage
- •Check architecture → API consistency
- •Verify test plan covers all requirements
- •Confirm security requirements addressed
- •Identify gaps or contradictions
Output
Create design-validation.md using the template in templates/design-validation.md.
Tips
- •Every requirement should trace to architecture
- •Every API should trace to architecture components
- •Test plan should cover all acceptance criteria
- •Flag ambiguities, don't assume
- •Severity: Critical > Major > Minor
