Validate Story

Pre-implementation story validation with comprehensive 10-step assessment to catch issues before development begins.

Purpose

Before handing a story to James (Developer Agent), validate that the story is complete, accurate, and implementable. Catch template gaps, hallucinated details, and missing context that would cause implementation failures.

Core Principles:

• Comprehensive - 10 validation steps cover all critical aspects
• Anti-hallucination - Verify all technical claims against source documents
• Actionable - Every issue has clear fix guidance
• GO/NO-GO clarity - Binary decision with confidence level
• Educational - Report teaches story creators what to improve

Integration:

• Input: Story markdown file from story creation process
• Processing: 10-step validation → Issue identification → Report generation
• Output: Validation report with GO/NO-GO decision + issues + recommendations
