# /validate - SOW Criteria Checker

## Purpose

Display SOW acceptance criteria for manual verification against completed work.

**Simplified**: Manual checklist review tool.

## Functionality

### Display Acceptance Criteria

```bash
# Show criteria from latest SOW
!`ls -t ~/.claude/workspace/sow/*/sow.md | head -1 | xargs grep -A 20 "Acceptance Criteria"`
```

### Manual Review Process

1. Display SOW criteria
2. Review each item manually
3. Check against implementation
4. Document findings

## Output Format

```markdown

📋 SOW Validation Checklist

Feature: User Authentication
Created: 2025-01-14

## Acceptance Criteria:

□ AC-01: User registration with email

Manual Review Required:
- Test each feature
- Verify against criteria
- Document any gaps
```

## Usage Examples

### Validate Latest SOW

```bash
/validate
```

Shows acceptance criteria from most recent SOW.

### Validate Specific SOW

```bash
/validate "feature-name"
```

Shows criteria for specific feature.

## Manual Validation Process

### Step 1: Review Criteria

```markdown
- Read each acceptance criterion
- Understand requirements
- Note any ambiguities
```

### Step 2: Test Implementation

```markdown
- Run application
- Test each feature
- Document behavior
```

### Step 3: Compare Results

```markdown
- Match behavior to criteria
- Identify gaps
- Note improvements needed
```

## Integration with Workflow

```markdown
1. Complete implementation
2. Run /validate to see criteria
3. Manually test each item
4. Update documentation with results
```

## Simplified Approach

- **No automation**: Human judgment required
- **Clear checklist**: Easy to follow
- **Manual process**: Thorough verification

## Applied Principles

### Occam's Razor

- Simple checklist display
- No complex validation logic
- Human judgment valued

### Single Responsibility

- Only displays criteria
- Validation done manually

### Progressive Enhancement

- Start with manual process
- Automate later if needed
