Validation Engine
Purpose
Systematically inspect outputs from any skill or agent for correctness, consistency, completeness, and compliance with project rules defined in AGENTS.md. Acts as a quality gate before outputs are presented to the user or used by downstream skills.
When to Use
- After any skill produces output that needs quality assurance
- Before presenting research results to the user
- When cross-checking claims across multiple sources
- After code generation, before presenting the code
When Not to Use
- The output is trivial and doesn't need validation
- The user is iterating quickly and doesn't want validation overhead
- The output is an intermediate step that will be further processed
Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
output | string | Yes | The content to validate |
type | enum | Yes | research, code, documentation, plan |
rules | array | No | Specific rules to enforce (defaults from AGENTS.md) |
Expected Outputs
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Validation report | Pass/fail per rule, with details |
| Issues found | List of problems with severity and location |
| Suggestions | How to fix each issue |
Exact Workflow Steps
- Load validation rules from AGENTS.md and the specific skill's requirements
- For research: check every claim has a source URL, flag contradictions, check no blog sources
- For code: check syntax, check against project conventions, verify tests pass
- For documentation: check completeness, accuracy, clarity
- For plans: check steps are ordered, dependencies identified, risks documented
- Compile validation report with pass/fail per rule
Required Checks
- All required fields are present in the output
- No contradictions across the output
- Output follows applicable rules from AGENTS.md
- All claims are traceable to sources
Failure Modes
| Failure Condition | Response |
|---|---|
| Validation rules are ambiguous | Ask for clarification |
| Output fails critical rules | Reject and report specific failures |
| Output fails minor rules | Accept with warnings |
References
| Reference | Path |

Said here and by no other author read
- Load validation rules from AGENTS.md

- Reject output failing critical rules
- Accept output failing minor rules with warnings
- Ask for clarification on ambiguous validation rules
- Check no contradictions across the output
Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
