description: Validate a change
Skill: wikispec-validate
Drive the agent through the full validate step for a wikispec change. You will use the wikispec tool which is a binary in the path, no need to install anything.
Steps
Determine the change name.
If the user provided a change name, use it exactly.
If no name is provided use wikispec list to list all active changes. If there is only one active change, assume that we will be working on this one, otherwise ask the user to pick a change from the list
Check whether validate step is runnable
Use wikispec status --change <change name> to get the status of the current change
Look at the output to confirm that the validate step is runnable#
If not, use the waitingOn field to determine the steps on which validate is waiting and ask the user to run the corresponding wikispec skill first
Follow instructions in a loop.
Repeat until the step is complete:
If the output contains instructions, follow them, then call the command again.
If the output signals that the step is already complete, stop looping, inform the user that the plan step is done and suggest to run /wikispec-archive next.
