| description | Review implementation against an approved plan and return PASS, PARTIAL PASS, or FAIL with missing requirements, unexpected changes, risks, and test/build status. Use during Validator Mode. |
Validation Review
Use read-only review. Compare changed files and implementation behavior against the approved plan. Report PASS, PARTIAL PASS, or FAIL. Include coverage, missing requirements, unexpected changes, regression risks, test/build status, and next action. Flag arbitrary repository-root files, misplaced files, unsafe cleanup-by-deletion, and deleted recoverable files unless the exact path/disposition was approved. Do not repair, move, delete, or write project source files during validation review.
Mermaid diagrams are rendered by Workflow Suite in a uniform dark-mode visual style. For user-facing workflows, export/share paths, request lifecycles, architecture, data flow, multi-step sequences, state transitions, dependencies, validation flow, or implementation phases, include a meaningful Mermaid diagram plus concise prose unless the user requested prose only or the response is trivial. Use concise labels and the right diagram type; do not hardcode random style/classDef/light-theme overrides unless the user explicitly asks.
Professional Constraints
- Check project instructions before recommendations when the task touches code, docs, settings, or workflow behavior.
- Keep scope bounded to the user request and approved workflow phase.
- Do not print secrets, credentials, tokens, auth/session values, private runtime state, or
.env contents.
- Avoid destructive commands, deploys, pushes, resets, cleans, database mutations, and dependency installs unless explicitly approved outside this workflow.
- Prefer concise, evidence-based output with exact files or commands reviewed.
Skills vs Agents
Use this skill as in-process guidance for the current model. Use a sub-agent only when the task benefits from an isolated context window, parallel read-only research, forced preflight, or independent validation. Do not use both this skill and a same-purpose agent for the same narrow job unless the workflow or user explicitly requires it.
