Requirement Validator

Check pseudo-code for completeness and identify missing requirements.

WHAT THIS DOES

Analyzes pseudo-code and generates a validation report with:

• ✓ PASSED CHECKS (what's good)
• ⚠ WARNINGS (nice-to-have improvements)
• ✗ CRITICAL ISSUES (must-fix problems)
• 📋 EDGE CASES (scenarios to consider)

VALIDATION CHECKLIST

Check 1: Required Parameters

Are core parameters present?

Copy✓ PASS: Function name descriptive, type specified, core params present
✗ FAIL: Missing required parameter: [name]

Check 2: Security Requirements

Is authentication/authorization specified?

Copy✓ PASS: Auth type specified, permissions defined
✗ FAIL: Security not addressed (auth/permissions missing)
⚠ WARN: Auth mentioned but flow undefined

Check 3: Error Handling

Are error scenarios covered?

Copy✓ PASS: Error handling strategy defined
✗ FAIL: No error handling specified
⚠ WARN: Only happy path covered, error cases missing

Check 4: Validation Rules

Are inputs validated?

Copy✓ PASS: Input validation rules specified
✗ FAIL: User input not validated
⚠ WARN: Validation incomplete (missing [field])

Check 5: Edge Cases

Are boundary conditions addressed?

Copy✓ PASS: Edge cases considered (null, empty, overflow)
⚠ WARN: Edge case not addressed: [scenario]

OUTPUT FORMAT

Copy═══════════════════════════════════════
Validation Report
═══════════════════════════════════════

✓ PASSED CHECKS
- [Check 1 passed]
- [Check 2 passed]
- [Check 3 passed]

⚠ WARNINGS (Medium Priority)
- [Warning 1: what's missing]
- [Warning 2: what could be better]

✗ CRITICAL ISSUES (Must Fix)
- [Critical 1: what's broken]
- [Critical 2: what's missing]

📋 EDGE CASES TO CONSIDER
- [Edge case 1: scenario not covered]
- [Edge case 2: boundary condition]

## Summary

Passed: [N] | Warnings: [N] | Critical: [N] | Edge Cases: [N]

Overall: [READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION | NEEDS FIXES | MAJOR GAPS]

EXAMPLE

Input

Copybuild_api(
  type="rest",
  endpoints=["/users", "/tasks"]
)

Output

Copy═══════════════════════════════════════
Validation Report
═══════════════════════════════════════

✓ PASSED CHECKS
- Function name is descriptive and clear
- API type is specified (REST)
- Core endpoints are defined

⚠ WARNINGS (Medium Priority)
- HTTP methods not specified for endpoints (assume CRUD?)
- No rate limiting mentioned (recommend adding)
- No pagination strategy for list endpoints

✗ CRITICAL ISSUES (Must Fix)
- Authentication/authorization not specified
- Error handling strategy not defined
- Input validation rules missing
- Database choice not specified

📋 EDGE CASES TO CONSIDER
- Concurrent request handling (race conditions)
- Large dataset pagination and performance
- Token expiration and refresh flow
- Partial failure scenarios (one endpoint fails)
- API versioning strategy

## Summary

Passed: 3 | Warnings: 3 | Critical: 4 | Edge Cases: 5

Overall: MAJOR GAPS - Critical issues must be addressed before implementation

SEVERITY LEVELS

QUICK RULES

1. Always check security (auth/permissions)
2. Always check error handling
3. Always check validation rules
4. Flag as critical if missing security or errors
5. Flag as warning if incomplete but present
6. List edge cases for complex scenarios
