name: ghm-id-register description: > Validates and registers new SoT IDs with cross-reference integrity. Triggers when creating BR-XXX, UJ-XXX, API-XXX, or CFD-XXX entries. Outputs formatted SoT entry with validated cross-references.

ID Register

Validate and register new Source of Truth IDs with cross-reference integrity checks.

Workflow Overview

1. Validate Format → Check ID follows [PREFIX]-[3-digit] pattern
2. Check Uniqueness → Ensure ID doesn't already exist
3. Verify Cross-Refs → All referenced IDs must exist
4. Register Entry → Add to appropriate SoT file

Core Output Template

ID Format Reference

Step 1: Validate Format

Check ID follows the pattern:

Copy[PREFIX]-[XXX]

Where:

• PREFIX = BR, UJ, API, or CFD
• XXX = 3-digit number (zero-padded)

Checklist

• Prefix is valid (BR, UJ, API, CFD)
• Number is 3 digits
• Format matches [A-Z]+-[0-9]{3}

Step 2: Check Uniqueness

1. Read target SoT file
2. Extract all existing IDs of same prefix
3. Verify new ID doesn't exist
4. If auto-assigning: use highest existing + 1

Checklist

• Target SoT file read
• Existing IDs enumerated
• New ID is unique

Step 3: Verify Cross-References

For each ID referenced in the new entry:

1. Identify the prefix
2. Check that ID exists in its SoT file
3. Flag any missing references

Checklist

• All BR-XXX references exist in BUSINESS_RULES
• All UJ-XXX references exist in USER_JOURNEYS
• All API-XXX references exist in API_CONTRACTS
• All CFD-XXX references exist in CUSTOMER_FEEDBACK

Step 4: Register Entry

Add formatted entry to SoT file:

Copy### [ID]: [Title]

**Status**: Draft
**Created**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Cross-References**: [List of related IDs]

[Description]

**Acceptance Criteria**:
- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

Quality Gates

Pass Checklist

• ID format is valid
• ID is unique within its domain
• All cross-references resolve
• Entry follows SoT template

Testability Check

• ID can be searched and found
• Cross-references are bidirectional (if required)

Anti-Patterns

Boundaries

DO:

• Format validation
• Uniqueness checks
• Cross-reference verification
• Entry formatting

DON'T:

• Content decisions about ID meaning
• Approve/reject based on business logic
• Modify existing IDs

Handoff

After ID registration:

• New ID is in SoT file
• Cross-references are valid
• EPIC Section 3A updated with new ID
• Ready for implementation
