Task Validation
What This Validates
Schema v2.0 compliance for all task types (epic, story, task, bug, techdebt):
- Required fields present with correct format
- Array minimums met (
local_checks≥ 3,checklist≥ 2,acceptance_criteria≥ 3/5) - Workflow fields valid (
approval,blocked,review_stage,review_result) schema_version: "2.0"on all itemslast_updated_atpresent and ISO 8601epic_idpresent on stories- Tasks do NOT have
review_stage/review_result - Subject format matches type (
Epic:,Story:,Task:,Bug:,TechDebt:) - v2.0 field names used (not v1.0 aliases:
local_checksnotacceptance_criteriaon tasks,checklistnotsubtasks,validation_hintnotverify,execution_plannottimeline) - Parent-child links are bidirectional (story references task IDs; epic references story IDs)
How to Use
/validate-task <id> # Validate a single item
/validate-task <id> --tree # Validate an entire epic hierarchy (epic + all stories + all tasks)
Output Format
Return structured PASS/FAIL:
- Overall result
- Per-field status with specific issue if failed
- List of required fixes
Do not return "validation complete" without actionable details.
