Guidance

Verify DTA Artifacts

Objective

Verify that the System Architecture Overview (SAO.md) from the Define Architecture (DTA) workflow exists and contains the required architectural decisions. If missing, direct the user to run the DTA workflow first.


Process

1. Scan for SAO.md

Check for existence and non-emptiness of:

Artifact Expected Location DTA Activity
SAO.md docs/architecture/SAO.md DTA-18

2. Validate SAO.md Content

If the file exists, verify it contains key sections (search for headings):

Required Section Purpose Used By DSP-05
Executive Summary Project overview for AI config Yes — project description
System Architecture High-level components Yes — architecture section
Design Principles Key decisions Yes — coding conventions
Technology Stack or equivalent Languages, frameworks, tools Yes — tech stack reference
Project Structure Directory layout Yes — directory map
Testing Infrastructure Test strategy Yes — testing conventions

Report status:

DTA Artifact Check:
  SAO.md exists              | ✅ Found (docs/architecture/SAO.md, 2671 lines)
  Executive Summary          | ✅ Present
  System Architecture        | ✅ Present
  Design Principles          | ✅ Present
  Technology Stack           | ❌ Missing — no explicit tech stack table
  Project Structure          | ✅ Present
  Testing Infrastructure     | ✅ Present

3. If SAO.md Missing or Incomplete → Redirect to DTA

If SAO.md does not exist:

⚠️ SAO.md not found.
Please run the Define Architecture (DTA) workflow first.
See: .windsurf/workflows/DTA/_workflow.md

If SAO.md exists but is missing key sections:

⚠️ SAO.md incomplete.
Missing sections: {list}.
Please complete the relevant DTA activities: {activity list}.

Stop here — do not proceed to DSP-03 until SAO.md is complete.

4. If Complete → Proceed

✅ SAO.md verified with all required sections. Proceeding to DSP-03 (Verify Architecture & Code Organization).


Deliverables

  • SAO.md existence verified
  • SAO.md content validated for required sections
  • All sections present — or user redirected to DTA workflow
  • Ready to proceed to DSP-03
