Description: Validate completed work against issue requirements and acceptance criteria. Use when finishing work on an issue to ensure all requirements are met.

When to Use This Skill

• After implementing a feature or fix
• Before creating a pull request
• When validating work against issue acceptance criteria
• To ensure nothing was missed from the original requirements

Quick Reference

Validation Checklist

• All issue requirements implemented
• Acceptance criteria met
• Tests cover new functionality (≥90% coverage)
• Linting passes with zero errors
• Documentation updated if needed
• CHANGELOG.md updated
• No hardcoded values or credentials

Resource Guides

📖 Issue Validation Guide

Comprehensive guide for validating work against issue requirements and acceptance criteria.

Use when: Checking if all issue requirements have been met.

📖 Common Gaps

Common things developers forget when completing issues.

Use when: Performing final validation before marking work complete.

Key Principles

1. Requirement Traceability: Every requirement in the issue should be addressed
2. Acceptance Criteria: All acceptance criteria must be met
3. Test Coverage: New code must be tested (≥90% coverage)
4. Quality Gates: All automated checks must pass
5. Documentation: User-facing changes documented appropriately

Validation Process

1. Fetch Issue Details: Get full issue description and requirements
2. Map Requirements: Identify each requirement and acceptance criterion
3. Verify Implementation: Check that each requirement has been implemented
4. Check Test Coverage: Ensure tests exist for new functionality
5. Validate Quality: Confirm linting and tests pass
6. Review Documentation: Ensure docs/CHANGELOG updated if needed
7. Report Status: Provide clear summary of what's complete and any gaps
