Validate Step 1: Load Agent for Review

STEP GOAL:

Load the existing agent file and initialize a validation report to track all findings.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES:

• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Load the complete agent file
• 📊 Create validation report tracking document
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user confirming correct agent

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Load the complete agent YAML file
• 📊 Parse and display agent summary
• 💾 Create validation report document
• 🚫 FORBIDDEN to proceed without user confirmation

MANDATORY SEQUENCE

CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.

1. Load Agent File

Read the complete YAML from the agent file path provided by the user. If the module property of the agent metadata is stand-alone, it is not a module agent. If the module property of the agent is a module code (like bmm, bmb, etc...) it is a module agent. If the property hasSidecar: true exists in the metadata, then it is an expert agent. Else it is a simple agent.

If a module agent also hasSidecar: true - this means it is a modules expert agent, thus it can have sidecar.

2. Display Agent Summary

## Agent to Validate: {agent-name}

**Type:** {simple|expert|module}
**File:** {agent-file-path}

### Current Structure:

**Persona:** {character count} characters
**Commands:** {count} commands
**Critical Actions:** {count} actions

3. Create Validation Report

Initialize the validation report:

---
agentName: '{agent-name}'
agentType: '{simple|expert|module}'  # Derived from module + hasSidecar
agentFile: '{agent-file-path}'
validationDate: '{YYYY-MM-DD}'
stepsCompleted:
  - v-01-load-review.md
---

# Validation Report: {agent-name}

## Agent Overview

**Name:** {agent-name}
**Type:** {simple|expert|module}  # Derived from: module + hasSidecar
**module:** {module-value}
**hasSidecar:** {true|false}
**File:** {agent-file-path}

---

## Validation Findings

*This section will be populated by validation steps*

Write to {validationReport}.

4. Present MENU OPTIONS

Display: "Is this the correct agent to validate and is it identified as the proper type? [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Yes, Begin Validation"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}, and when finished redisplay the menu
• IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}, and when finished redisplay the menu
• IF C: Save to {validationReport}, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then Redisplay Menu Options

EXECUTION RULES:

• ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
• ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
• After other menu items execution, return to this menu

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [agent loaded and report created], will you then load and read fully {nextStepFile} to execute and begin validation.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Agent file loaded successfully
• Validation report created
• User confirmed correct agent

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Failed to load agent file
• Report not created
• Proceeded without user confirmation

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
