name: phase-tool-validate description: Phase guidance for the neuroflow /tool-validate command. Loaded automatically when /tool-validate is invoked to orient agent behavior, relevant skills, and workflow hints for the tool-validate phase.
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.mdbefore 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].mdto.neuroflow/tool-validate/summarizing pass/fail status - If validation reveals a design flaw, log the finding in
.neuroflow/reasoning/tool-validate.jsonand loop back to tool-build
Slash command
/neuroflow:tool-validate — runs this workflow as a slash command.
