Frontmatter Validation

• No frontmatter violations found

Critical Path Violations

Config Variables (Exceptions)

Standard BMAD config variables treated as valid exceptions: bmb_creations_output_folder, communication_language, document_output_language, output_folder, planning_artifacts, project-root, project_name, test_artifacts, user_name

• No {project-root} hardcoded paths detected in body

• No dead relative links detected

• No module path assumptions detected

Status: ✅ PASS - No critical violations

Menu Handling Validation

• No menu structures detected (linear step flow) [N/A]

Step Type Validation

• steps-c/step-01-detect-mode.md: Init [PASS]
• steps-c/step-02-load-context.md: Middle [PASS]
• steps-c/step-03-risk-and-testability.md: Middle [PASS]
• steps-c/step-04-coverage-plan.md: Middle [PASS]
• steps-c/step-05-generate-output.md: Final [PASS]
• Step type validation assumes linear sequence (no branching/menu). Workflow-plan.md present for reference. [INFO]

Output Format Validation

• Templates present: test-design-architecture-template.md, test-design-qa-template.md, test-design-template.md
• Steps with outputFile in frontmatter:
  • steps-c/step-05-generate-output.md
  • steps-v/step-01-validate.md
• checklist.md present: YES

Validation Design Check

• Validation steps folder (steps-v) present: YES
• Validation step(s) present: step-01-validate.md
• Validation steps reference checklist data and auto-proceed

Instruction Style Check

• Instruction style: Prescriptive (appropriate for TEA quality/compliance workflows)
• Steps emphasize mandatory sequence, explicit success/failure metrics, and risk-based guidance

Collaborative Experience Check

• Overall facilitation quality: GOOD
• Steps use progressive prompts and clear role reinforcement; no laundry-list interrogation detected
• Flow progression is clear and aligned to workflow goals

Subagent Optimization Opportunities

• No high-priority subagent optimizations identified; workflow already uses step-file architecture
• Pattern 1 (grep/regex): N/A for most steps
• Pattern 2 (per-file analysis): already aligned to validation structure
• Pattern 3 (data ops): minimal data file loads
• Pattern 4 (parallel): optional for validation only

Cohesive Review

• Overall assessment: GOOD
• Flow is linear, goals are clear, and outputs map to TEA artifacts
• Voice and tone consistent with Test Architect persona
• Recommendation: READY (minor refinements optional)

Plan Quality Validation

• Plan file present: workflow-plan.md
• Planned steps found: 8 (all implemented)
• Plan implementation status: Fully Implemented

Summary

• Validation completed: 2026-01-27 10:24:01
• Critical issues: 0
• Warnings: 0 (informational notes only)
• Readiness: READY (manual review optional)
