phase-tool-validate

The tool-validate phase creates and runs a testing pipeline to verify that a tool or paradigm works correctly — timing, markers, data output, and edge cases.

Approach

• Read .neuroflow/tool-build/ outputs before planning validation — understand what was built first
• Write a validation-plan.md before running any tests
• Cover timing accuracy, marker integrity, data output format, and known edge cases
• Report results objectively — include failures, not just passes

Relevant skills

• neuroflow:neuroflow-core — read first; defines the command lifecycle and .neuroflow/ write rules

Workflow hints

• Test scripts and logs go to output_path (tools/), not inside .neuroflow/
• Save validation-report-[date].md to .neuroflow/tool-validate/ summarizing pass/fail status
• If validation reveals a design flaw, log the finding in .neuroflow/reasoning/tool-validate.json and loop back to tool-build

/neuroflow:tool-validate — runs this workflow as a slash command.
