Step 12: Completeness Validation
STEP GOAL:
Final comprehensive completeness check - validate no template variables remain, each section has required content, section-specific completeness, and frontmatter is properly populated.
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
Universal Rules:
- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config
{communication_language}
Role Reinforcement:
- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in systematic validation, not collaborative dialogue
- ✅ You bring attention to detail and completeness verification
- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
Step-Specific Rules:
- 🎯 Focus ONLY on completeness verification
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate quality (done in step 11) or other aspects
- 💬 Approach: Systematic checklist-style verification
- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Check template completeness (no variables remaining)
- 🎯 Validate content completeness (each section has required content)
- 🎯 Validate section-specific completeness
- 🎯 Validate frontmatter completeness
- 💾 Append completeness matrix to validation report
- 📖 Display "Proceeding to final step..." and load next step
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Complete PRD file, frontmatter, validation report
- Focus: Completeness verification only (final gate)
- Limits: Don't assess quality, don't pause for user input
- Dependencies: Steps 1-11 completed - all validation checks done
MANDATORY SEQUENCE
CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
1. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:
"Perform completeness validation on this PRD - final gate check:
1. Template Completeness:
- Scan PRD for any remaining template variables
- Look for: {variable}, {{variable}}, {placeholder}, [placeholder], etc.
- List any found with line numbers
2. Content Completeness:
- Executive Summary: Has vision statement? ({key content})
- Success Criteria: All criteria measurable? ({metrics present})
- Product Scope: In-scope and out-of-scope defined? ({both present})
- User Journeys: User types identified? ({users listed})
- Functional Requirements: FRs listed with proper format? ({FRs present})
- Non-Functional Requirements: NFRs with metrics? ({NFRs present})
For each section: Is required content present? (Yes/No/Partial)
3. Section-Specific Completeness:
- Success Criteria: Each has specific measurement method?
- User Journeys: Cover all user types?
- Functional Requirements: Cover MVP scope?
- Non-Functional Requirements: Each has specific criteria?
4. Frontmatter Completeness:
- stepsCompleted: Populated?
- classification: Present (domain, projectType)?
- inputDocuments: Tracked?
- date: Present?
Return completeness matrix with status for each check."
Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):
- Manually scan for template variables
- Manually check each section for required content
- Manually verify frontmatter fields
- Build completeness matrix
2. Build Completeness Matrix
Template Completeness:
- Template variables found: count
- List if any found
Content Completeness by Section:
- Executive Summary: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- Success Criteria: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- Product Scope: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- User Journeys: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- Functional Requirements: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- Non-Functional Requirements: Complete / Incomplete / Missing
- Other sections: [List completeness]
Section-Specific Completeness:
- Success criteria measurable: All / Some / None
- Journeys cover all users: Yes / Partial / No
- FRs cover MVP scope: Yes / Partial / No
- NFRs have specific criteria: All / Some / None
Frontmatter Completeness:
- stepsCompleted: Present / Missing
- classification: Present / Missing
- inputDocuments: Present / Missing
- date: Present / Missing
Overall completeness:
- Sections complete: X/Y
- Critical gaps: [list if any]
3. Report Completeness Findings to Validation Report
Append to validation report:
## Completeness Validation
### Template Completeness
**Template Variables Found:** {count}
{If count > 0, list variables with line numbers}
{If count = 0, note: No template variables remaining ✓}
### Content Completeness by Section
**Executive Summary:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
**Success Criteria:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
**Product Scope:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
**User Journeys:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
**Functional Requirements:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
**Non-Functional Requirements:** [Complete/Incomplete/Missing]
{If incomplete or missing, note specific gaps}
### Section-Specific Completeness
**Success Criteria Measurability:** [All/Some/None] measurable
{If Some or None, note which criteria lack metrics}
**User Journeys Coverage:** [Yes/Partial/No] - covers all user types
{If Partial or No, note missing user types}
**FRs Cover MVP Scope:** [Yes/Partial/No]
{If Partial or No, note scope gaps}
**NFRs Have Specific Criteria:** [All/Some/None]
{If Some or None, note which NFRs lack specificity}
### Frontmatter Completeness
**stepsCompleted:** [Present/Missing]
**classification:** [Present/Missing]
**inputDocuments:** [Present/Missing]
**date:** [Present/Missing]
**Frontmatter Completeness:** {complete_fields}/4
### Completeness Summary
**Overall Completeness:** {percentage}% ({complete_sections}/{total_sections})
**Critical Gaps:** [count] [list if any]
**Minor Gaps:** [count] [list if any]
**Severity:** [Critical if template variables exist or critical sections missing, Warning if minor gaps, Pass if complete]
**Recommendation:**
[If Critical] "PRD has completeness gaps that must be addressed before use. Fix template variables and complete missing sections."
[If Warning] "PRD has minor completeness gaps. Address minor gaps for complete documentation."
[If Pass] "PRD is complete with all required sections and content present."
4. Display Progress and Auto-Proceed
Display: "Completeness Validation Complete
Overall Completeness: {percentage}% ({severity})
Proceeding to final step..."
Immediately load and execute {nextStepFile} (step-v-13-report-complete.md)
🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
✅ SUCCESS:
- Scanned for template variables systematically
- Validated each section for required content
- Validated section-specific completeness (measurability, coverage, scope)
- Validated frontmatter completeness
- Completeness matrix built with all checks
- Severity assessed correctly
- Findings reported to validation report
- Auto-proceeds to final step
- Subprocess attempted with graceful degradation
❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Not scanning for template variables
- Missing section-specific completeness checks
- Not validating frontmatter
- Not building completeness matrix
- Not reporting findings to validation report
- Not auto-proceeding
Master Rule: Final gate to ensure document is complete before presenting findings. Template variables or critical gaps must be fixed.
