doey-scaffy-validate

name	doey-scaffy-validate
description	Validate a scaffy template syntax and structure. Use --strict to also flag missing transforms, anchors, IDs.

• Templates available: !ls .doey/scaffy/templates/*.scaffy 2>/dev/null || echo "(none)"

Parse a .scaffy template and report syntax or structural problems before applying it.

Usage

doey-scaffy validate <template>.scaffy [flags]

Flags

• --strict — apply strict checks (variables must have explicit Transforms, INSERT/REPLACE need IDs, guarded ops need REASON, anchor targets must be non-empty)
• --json — emit a JSON validation report ({valid, errors[], warnings[]})
• --cwd <dir> — working directory

Examples

# Plain syntax check
doey-scaffy validate .doey/scaffy/templates/handler.scaffy

# Strict mode with JSON output for CI
doey-scaffy validate --strict --json .doey/scaffy/templates/handler.scaffy

Notes

• Errors fail the run (valid: false); warnings are reported but pass
• Use --strict in CI to enforce template hygiene
• Run /doey-scaffy-audit afterward to also check the working tree for staleness
