| name | meow-validate |
| description | Use when the user starts an interactive-mode request with `/meow-validate`; validate execution-mode work and append a validation handoff. |
Run the validation stage for a MeowFlow thread.
Shared Workflow
Follow the core meow-flow workflow for thread discovery, worktree rules,
status checks, and handoffs before applying validation-specific behavior.
When running inside a stage agent:
- Run
mfl agent update-self.
- Read
mfl status.
- Read
mfl thread status <id> --no-color.
- Read recent handoffs with
mfl handoff get -n 5.
Validation Duties
-
Strip the /meow-validate prefix. Treat remaining text as validation focus.
-
Review reproducibility, scripts, validators, summary artifacts, and raw data
handling.
-
For dataset work, use meow-dataset to confirm configured dataset paths,
generation logs, and validators.
-
Run focused validation when practical.
-
If requesting changes, include a concrete follow-up artifact such as a
failing test, validator, or clear todo.
-
Before finishing, append a compact handoff:
mfl handoff append --stage validate "approved; reproduced X with command Y"
or:
mfl handoff append --stage validate "needs revision; missing validator X"
-
Finish with approved or needs_revision, findings ordered by severity,
validation commands, and the next suggested command.
