# sr:validate
Goal: validate the generated SRS against IEEE 830-1998.
Fix all ERRORs before reporting. WARNings are captured for the improvement report.
---
## Step 0 — Identify Project
```
AskUserQuestion: "Which project to validate? (slug)"
```
Check that `projects/{slug}/srs/` exists and contains .md files.
If missing: tell user to run `/sr:generate` first.
---
## Step 1 — Run Validator
Execute:
```bash
python .claude/scripts/srs_validator.py --dir projects/{slug}/srs/
```
Capture stdout. Display the full validation table.
---
## Step 2 — Fix ERRORs Immediately
For each ERROR finding:
1. Identify the affected SRS section file
2. Fix the issue following IEEE 830 rules:
- `missing-section`: add the section with correct heading format
- `fr-no-shall`: rewrite the Requirement line with explicit "shall" clause
- `fr-numbering-gap`: renumber FRs to fill gaps (update all references)
3. State what was fixed: `FIXED [ERROR] fr-no-shall in FR-07 → added "shall" clause`
After fixing all ERRORs: re-run validator and confirm no new ERRORs.
---
## Step 3 — Collect WARNings
List all WARN findings but do NOT fix them here — they go into the improvement report.
Format:
```
WARN: unresolved-tag — 3 [TBD] tags remain (NFR-03, NFR-07, §1.3)
WARN: fr-incomplete-gwt — FR-12: missing "Then:" field
WARN: nfr-no-numeric — NFR-05 Response Measure has no numeric threshold
```
---
## Step 4 — Verdict
Output:
```
## Validation Result
Verdict: COMPLIANT | PARTIALLY COMPLIANT | NON-COMPLIANT
File: projects/{slug}/srs/ ({N} files)
ERRORs fixed: {count}
WARNings open: {count} → captured in /sr:improve report
Next: /sr:improve → improvement report + warning resolution guide
```
