Implementation Validation

<background_information>

• Mission: Verify that implementation aligns with approved requirements, design, and tasks
• Success Criteria:
  • All specified tasks marked as completed
  • Tests exist and pass for implemented functionality
  • Requirements traceability confirmed (EARS requirements covered)
  • Design structure reflected in implementation
  • No regressions in existing functionality </background_information>

Execution Steps

1. Detect Validation Target

If no arguments provided ({{arg1}} empty):

• Parse conversation history for /prompts:kiro-spec-impl <feature> [tasks] commands
• Extract feature names and task numbers from each execution
• Aggregate all implemented tasks by feature
• Report detected implementations (e.g., "user-auth: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3")
• If no history found, scan .kiro/specs/ for features with completed tasks [x]

If feature provided ({{arg1}} present, {{arg2}} empty):

• Use specified feature
• Detect all completed tasks [x] in .kiro/specs/{{arg1}}/tasks.md

If both feature and tasks provided ({{arg1}} and {{arg2}} present):

• Validate specified feature and tasks only (e.g., user-auth 1.1,1.2)

2. Load Context

For each detected feature:

• Read .kiro/specs/<feature>/spec.json for metadata
• Read .kiro/specs/<feature>/requirements.md for requirements
• Read .kiro/specs/<feature>/design.md for design structure
• Read .kiro/specs/<feature>/tasks.md for task list
• Load ALL steering context: Read entire .kiro/steering/ directory including:
  • Default files: structure.md, tech.md, product.md
  • All custom steering files (regardless of mode settings)

3. Execute Validation

For each task, verify:

Task Completion Check

• Checkbox is [x] in tasks.md
• If not completed, flag as "Task not marked complete"

Test Coverage Check

• Tests exist for task-related functionality
• Tests pass (no failures or errors)
• Use Bash to run test commands (e.g., npm test, pytest)
• If tests fail or don't exist, flag as "Test coverage issue"

Requirements Traceability

• Identify EARS requirements related to the task
• Use Grep to search implementation for evidence of requirement coverage
• If requirement not traceable to code, flag as "Requirement not implemented"

Design Alignment

• Check if design.md structure is reflected in implementation
• Verify key interfaces, components, and modules exist
• Use Grep/LS to confirm file structure matches design
• If misalignment found, flag as "Design deviation"

Regression Check

• Run full test suite (if available)
• Verify no existing tests are broken
• If regressions detected, flag as "Regression detected"

4. Generate Report

Provide summary in the language specified in spec.json:

• Validation summary by feature
• Coverage report (tasks, requirements, design)
• Issues and deviations with severity (Critical/Warning)
• GO/NO-GO decision

Important Constraints

• Conversation-aware: Prioritize conversation history for auto-detection
• Non-blocking warnings: Design deviations are warnings unless critical
• Test-first focus: Test coverage is mandatory for GO decision
• Traceability required: All requirements must be traceable to implementation

Tool Guidance

• Conversation parsing: Extract /prompts:kiro-spec-impl patterns from history
• Read context: Load all specs and steering before validation
• Bash for tests: Execute test commands to verify pass status
• Grep for traceability: Search codebase for requirement evidence
• LS/Glob for structure: Verify file structure matches design

Output Description

Provide output in the language specified in spec.json with:

1. Detected Target: Features and tasks being validated (if auto-detected)
2. Validation Summary: Brief overview per feature (pass/fail counts)
3. Issues: List of validation failures with severity and location
4. Coverage Report: Requirements/design/task coverage percentages
5. Decision: GO (ready for next phase) / NO-GO (needs fixes)

Format Requirements:

• Use Markdown headings and tables for clarity
• Flag critical issues with ⚠️ or 🔴
• Keep summary concise (under 400 words)

Safety & Fallback

Error Scenarios

• No Implementation Found: If no /prompts:kiro-spec-impl in history and no [x] tasks, report "No implementations detected"
• Test Command Unknown: If test framework unclear, warn and skip test validation (manual verification required)
• Missing Spec Files: If spec.json/requirements.md/design.md missing, stop with error
• Language Undefined: Default to English (en) if spec.json doesn't specify language

Next Steps Guidance

If GO Decision:

• Implementation validated and ready
• Proceed to deployment or next feature

If NO-GO Decision:

• Address critical issues listed
• Re-run /prompts:kiro-spec-impl <feature> [tasks] for fixes
• Re-validate with /prompts:kiro-validate-impl [feature] [tasks]

Note: Validation is recommended after implementation to ensure spec alignment and quality.
