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
