phase-tool-validate
The tool-validate phase creates and runs a testing pipeline to verify that a tool or paradigm works correctly — timing, markers, data output, and edge cases.
Approach
- Read
.neuroflow/tool-build/ outputs before planning validation — understand what was built first
- Write a
validation-plan.md before running any tests
- Cover timing accuracy, marker integrity, data output format, and known edge cases
- Report results objectively — include failures, not just passes
Relevant skills
neuroflow:neuroflow-core — read first; defines the command lifecycle and .neuroflow/ write rules
Workflow hints
- Test scripts and logs go to
output_path (tools/), not inside .neuroflow/
- Save
validation-report-[date].md to .neuroflow/tool-validate/ summarizing pass/fail status
- If validation reveals a design flaw, log the finding in
.neuroflow/reasoning/tool-validate.json and loop back to tool-build
Slash command
/neuroflow:tool-validate — runs this workflow as a slash command.
