Validating Rules
Process
- Receive description of what to validate (spec, task, or code)
- Run
straion find-rules — see ../shared/STRAION_CLI.md
- Analyze compliance against each returned rule
- Report structured findings
Validation Levels
| Level | What | Check Against |
|---|
| Spec | PRDs, ADRs, RFCs | Architecture, security, design principles |
| Task | Implementation tasks | Technical rules, API contracts, testing |
| Code | Actual changes | Coding standards, security, performance |
Compliance Analysis
For each rule returned by the CLI:
- Read and understand what it mandates/prohibits
- Compare against the input
- Identify gaps or violations
- Assess severity (critical, important, minor)
