validating-rules

name	validating-rules
description	Validates code, specifications, and tasks against project rules using Straion's semantic matching. Use when checking compliance, validating PRs, reviewing specs against rules, or when user asks "does this meet rules", "check compliance", "validate this".

Validating Rules

Process

1. Receive description of what to validate (spec, task, or code)
2. Run straion find-rules:
   • --files with the key files supporting the change that should be validated
   • --tags with applicable scope tags (e.g. api,domain,testing,security)
   • --keywords with relevant technical keywords (e.g. auth,caching,logging)
   • Run straion find-rules --help for the full flag list and scope-tag whitelist
3. Analyze compliance against each returned rule
4. 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:

1. Read and understand what it mandates/prohibits
2. Compare against the input
3. Identify gaps or violations
4. Assess severity (critical, important, minor)

Output Format

Severity Guidelines

• Critical: Block until fixed
• Important: Address before proceeding

Validation Loop

When violations are found:

1. Report specific violations with concrete fixes
2. User applies fixes
3. Re-validate to confirm compliance
4. Repeat until critical violations are resolved
