Validate Plan File
Validate orchestrator plan files against expected JSON schema.
Instructions
Step 1: Read Plan File
Load the plan file using Read tool.
Step 2: Determine Schema
Map file name to schema in .claude/schemas/:
.bug-*-plan.json → bug-plan.schema.json.security-*-plan.json → security-plan.schema.json.dead-code-*-plan.json → dead-code-plan.schema.json.dependency-*-plan.json → dependency-plan.schema.json
Step 3: Validate Required Fields
Base schema (all plans):
workflow: String (required)phase: String (required)config: Object (required, domain-specific)validation: Object (required, with required array)nextAgent: String (optional)timestamp: String (optional, ISO-8601)metadata: Object (optional)
Domain-specific config:
- Bug:
config.priority (critical|high|medium|low|all)
- Security:
config.severity (critical|high|medium|low|all)
- Dead Code:
config.type (critical|high|medium|low|all)
- Dependency:
config.category (security|unused|outdated|all)
Step 4: Return Result
{
"valid": true|false,
"file": "filename",
"errors": [],
"warnings": [],
"schema": "schema-name"
}
Error Handling
- File Not Found: Return error with path
- Invalid JSON: Return parsing error
- Missing Required Fields: List all missing
- Invalid Enum Values: Report with allowed values
