- Validate that capability dependencies defined across component specifications form a valid Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). [PAPI SDLC]
SDLC Task - Validate Capabilities DAG
- Run
validate_capability_dag.pyagainst the project's component specifications directory. - The tool checks for:
- Cycles — circular dependencies between capabilities (must be resolved before specs can be considered complete)
- Orphans — nodes with no incoming or outgoing edges (likely missing dependency declarations or dead capabilities)
- Invalid references — capabilities referenced in dependencies that are not defined in any spec
- Pass
--specs-dirpointing to the directory containing component specification markdown files. - Pass
--outputto write the report to a file, or omit to print to stdout. - A non-zero exit code means validation failed; a zero exit code means the DAG is valid.
- Run this after authoring or editing component specifications, and before marking any specification as completed.
- If issues are found, work with the user to resolve them in the affected specification files before proceeding.
