Validation Planner

Use this skill to test whether the right thing was built for the intended use.

Workflow

  1. Restate the user need, intended environment, actors, and CONOPS scenario.
  2. Define validation scenarios in user/workflow language, not implementation language.
  3. Identify success signals: user-observable outcome, acceptance by stakeholder, task completion, or operational fit.
  4. Compare verified behavior against those scenarios; do not assume verification proves validation.
  5. Identify gaps between requirements compliance and intended-use success.
  6. Choose the smallest validation artifact: walkthrough, browser flow, screenshot, user script, demo, recorded trace, or reviewer checklist.
  7. Output a validation plan: need, scenario, environment, success signal, artifact, gaps, residual risk.

Source grounding

Start with references/source-grounding.md, then inspect Section 5.4 pages extraction/pages/page_109.md through extraction/pages/page_115.md and Appendix E pages extraction/pages/page_213.md through extraction/pages/page_214.md before making validation-specific claims.
