SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

BMAD PRDs often drift from standards, causing misaligned scope, vague requirements, and incomplete traceability. This Skill provides end-to-end validation of a PRD against BMAD principles, surfacing gaps and guiding improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive format detection and core BMAD section checks
  • Density, measurability, and traceability validation across sections
  • Domain and project-type compliance checks with evidence-backed findings
  • Generated validation reports suitable for human review and downstream automation
  • On-demand guidance to fix identified gaps and improve PRD quality

Quick Start

Provide the PRD path to initialize validation and begin the BMAD-compliant review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a PRD for BMAD compliance and traceability gaps?▼

BMAD PRD validation checks format, density, measurability, and traceability across sections to identify compliance gaps. It loads frontmatter and input documents, returning a structured metadata payload for downstream processing without editing the original file.

What is BMAD PRD validation and what problem does it solve?▼

BMAD PRD validation is a quality assessment process that checks document compliance against BMAD principles. It solves scope misalignment, vague requirements, and incomplete traceability by surfacing evidence-backed gaps without modifying the original document.

How do I check PRD density and measurability against BMAD principles?▼

You check PRD density and measurability by running an automated validation assessment across all document sections. The process evaluates these metrics against BMAD principles and generates a structured report with evidence-backed findings.

Does PRD validation automatically fix scope and requirement gaps it finds?▼

PRD validation does not automatically fix gaps. It performs read-only compliance analysis and returns a structured validation metadata payload, providing on-demand guidance so you can manually review and improve the document.

Can I use PRD validation reports for downstream automation workflows?▼

Yes, you can use validation reports for downstream automation. The tool generates a structured validation metadata payload containing standardized gap findings, making it suitable for integration into automated processing pipelines.

What do I need to start validating a PRD against BMAD domain requirements?▼

To start validating a PRD against BMAD domain requirements, you need the document file path. This initializes the review process, allowing the validator to load frontmatter and establish context for project-type compliance checks.
