<![CDATA[# Architecture Document Validation Checklist
|
||
|
||
**Purpose**: Validate the architecture document itself is complete, implementable, and provides clear guidance for AI agents.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: This checklist validates the ARCHITECTURE DOCUMENT only. For cross-workflow validation (PRD → Architecture → Stories alignment), use the solutioning-gate-check workflow.

||
## 5. Implementation Patterns
|
||
|
||
### Pattern Categories Coverage

||
- [ ] **Naming Patterns**: API routes, database tables, components, files
|
||
- [ ] **Structure Patterns**: Test organization, component organization, shared utilities
|
||
- [ ] **Format Patterns**: API responses, error formats, date handling
|
||
- [ ] **Communication Patterns**: Events, state updates, inter-component messaging
|
||
- [ ] **Lifecycle Patterns**: Loading states, error recovery, retry logic
|
||
- [ ] **Location Patterns**: URL structure, asset organization, config placement
|
||
- [ ] **Consistency Patterns**: UI date formats, logging, user-facing errors
|
||
|
||
### Pattern Quality
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Each pattern has concrete examples
|
||
- [ ] Conventions are unambiguous (agents can't interpret differently)
|
||
- [ ] Patterns cover all technologies in the stack
|
||
- [ ] No gaps where agents would have to guess
|
||
- [ ] Implementation patterns don't conflict with each other
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Technology Compatibility
|
||
|
||
### Stack Coherence
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Database choice compatible with ORM choice
|
||
- [ ] Frontend framework compatible with deployment target
|
||
- [ ] Authentication solution works with chosen frontend/backend
|
||
- [ ] All API patterns consistent (not mixing REST and GraphQL for same data)
|
||
- [ ] Starter template compatible with additional choices
|
||
|
||
### Integration Compatibility
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Third-party services compatible with chosen stack
|
||
- [ ] Real-time solutions (if any) work with deployment target
|
||
- [ ] File storage solution integrates with framework
|
||
- [ ] Background job system compatible with infrastructure
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 7. Document Structure
|
||
|
||
### Required Sections Present
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Executive summary exists (2-3 sentences maximum)
|
||
- [ ] Project initialization section (if using starter template)
|
||
- [ ] Decision summary table with ALL required columns:
|
||
- Category
|
||
- Decision
|
||
- Version
|
||
- Rationale
|
||
- [ ] Project structure section shows complete source tree
|
||
- [ ] Implementation patterns section comprehensive

||
- [ ] Novel patterns section (if applicable)
|
||
|
||
### Document Quality
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Source tree reflects actual technology decisions (not generic)
|
||
- [ ] Technical language used consistently
|
||
- [ ] Tables used instead of prose where appropriate
|
||
- [ ] No unnecessary explanations or justifications
|
||
- [ ] Focused on WHAT and HOW, not WHY (rationale is brief)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 8. AI Agent Clarity
|
||
|
||
### Clear Guidance for Agents
|
||

|
||
- [ ] Novel patterns have clear implementation guidance
|
||
- [ ] Document provides clear constraints for agents
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 9. Practical Considerations
|
||
|
||
### Technology Viability
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Chosen stack has good documentation and community support
|
||
- [ ] Development environment can be set up with specified versions
|
||
- [ ] No experimental or alpha technologies for critical path
|
||
- [ ] Deployment target supports all chosen technologies
|
||
- [ ] Starter template (if used) is stable and well-maintained
|
||
|
||
### Scalability
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Architecture can handle expected user load
|
||
- [ ] Data model supports expected growth
|
||
- [ ] Caching strategy defined if performance is critical
|
||
- [ ] Background job processing defined if async work needed
|
||
- [ ] Novel patterns scalable for production use
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 10. Common Issues to Check
|
||
|
||
### Beginner Protection
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Not overengineered for actual requirements
|
||
- [ ] Standard patterns used where possible (starter templates leveraged)
|
||
- [ ] Complex technologies justified by specific needs
|
||
- [ ] Maintenance complexity appropriate for team size
|
||
|
||
### Expert Validation
|
||
|
||
- [ ] No obvious anti-patterns present
|
||
- [ ] Performance bottlenecks addressed
|
||
- [ ] Security best practices followed
|
||
- [ ] Future migration paths not blocked
|
||
- [ ] Novel patterns follow architectural principles
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

||
|
||
### Document Quality Score
|
||
|
||
- Architecture Completeness: [Complete / Mostly Complete / Partial / Incomplete]
|
||
- Version Specificity: [All Verified / Most Verified / Some Missing / Many Missing]
|
||
- Pattern Clarity: [Crystal Clear / Clear / Somewhat Ambiguous / Ambiguous]
|
||
- AI Agent Readiness: [Ready / Mostly Ready / Needs Work / Not Ready]
|
||
|
||
### Critical Issues Found
|
||
|
||
<!-- replace with list of critical issues found, or N/A -->
|
||
### Recommended Actions Before Implementation
|
||
<!-- replace with list of recommended actions, or N/A -->
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
**Next Step**: Run the **solutioning-gate-check** workflow to validate alignment between PRD, UX, Architecture, and Stories before beginning implementation.
|

||
_This checklist validates architecture document quality only. Use solutioning-gate-check for comprehensive readiness validation._

## Role-Playing Guidelines
|
||
<guidelines>
|
||
<guideline>Keep all responses strictly in-character based on merged personality data</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Use each agent's documented communication style consistently</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Reference agent memories and context when relevant</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Allow natural disagreements and different perspectives</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Maintain professional discourse while being engaging</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Let agents reference each other naturally by name or role</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Include personality-driven quirks and occasional humor</guideline>
|
||
<guideline>Respect each agent's expertise boundaries</guideline>
|
||
</guidelines>
|
||
## Question Handling Protocol
|
||
<question-protocol>
|
||
<direct-to-user>
|
||
When agent asks user a specific question (e.g., "What's your budget?"):
|
||
- End that round immediately after the question
|
||
- Clearly highlight the questioning agent and their question
|
||
- Wait for user response before any agent continues
|
||
</direct-to-user>
|
||
<rhetorical>Agents can ask rhetorical or thinking-aloud questions without pausing</rhetorical>
|
||
<inter-agent>
|
||
Agents can question each other and respond naturally within same round
|
||
</inter-agent>
