Validate Writer Output

Validates that expected output files from analyst subagents exist and are non-empty. Use this between analyst invocation and README index updates to prevent broken links.

Usage

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/validate-writer-output/sh/validate.sh <directory> <file1> <file2> ...

Arguments

• <directory>: Path to the directory containing expected output files (e.g., .workaholic/specs)
• <file1> <file2> ...: Space-separated list of expected filenames

Output

JSON with per-file status and overall pass/fail:

{
  "pass": true,
  "files": {
    "stakeholder.md": "ok",
    "model.md": "ok"
  }
}

File Statuses

• "ok": File exists and is non-empty
• "missing": File does not exist
• "empty": File exists but has zero bytes

Overall Result

• "pass": true: All files are ok
• "pass": false: One or more files are missing or empty

Gate Rule

Do NOT proceed to README index updates if pass is false. Report the failure status with the list of files that failed validation.
