-# Step 3: Information Density Validation
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-Validate PRD meets BMAD information density standards by scanning for conversational filler, wordy phrases, and redundant expressions that violate conciseness principles.
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-### Universal Rules:
-
-- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
-- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
-- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
-- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-### Role Reinforcement:
-
-- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
-- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
-- ✅ We engage in systematic validation, not collaborative dialogue
-- ✅ You bring analytical rigor and attention to detail
-- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
-
-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus ONLY on information density anti-patterns
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate other aspects in this step
-- 💬 Approach: Systematic scanning and categorization
-- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Scan PRD for density anti-patterns systematically
-- 💾 Append density findings to validation report
-- 📖 Display "Proceeding to next check..." and load next step
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Available context: PRD file, validation report with format findings
-- Focus: Information density validation only
-- Limits: Don't validate other aspects, don't pause for user input
-- Dependencies: Step 2 completed - format classification done
-
-## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
-
-**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
-
-### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
-
-**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
-
-"Perform information density validation on this PRD:
-
-1. Load the PRD file
-2. Scan for the following anti-patterns:
-   - Conversational filler phrases (examples: 'The system will allow users to...', 'It is important to note that...', 'In order to')
-   - Wordy phrases (examples: 'Due to the fact that', 'In the event of', 'For the purpose of')
-   - Redundant phrases (examples: 'Future plans', 'Absolutely essential', 'Past history')
-3. Count violations by category with line numbers
-4. Classify severity: Critical (>10 violations), Warning (5-10), Pass (<5)
-
-Return structured findings with counts and examples."
-
-### 2. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
-
-If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
-
-**Scan for conversational filler patterns:**
-- "The system will allow users to..."
-- "It is important to note that..."
-- "In order to"
-- "For the purpose of"
-- "With regard to"
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-**Scan for wordy phrases:**
-- "Due to the fact that" (use "because")
-- "In the event of" (use "if")
-- "At this point in time" (use "now")
-- "In a manner that" (use "how")
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-**Scan for redundant phrases:**
-- "Future plans" (just "plans")
-- "Past history" (just "history")
-- "Absolutely essential" (just "essential")
-- "Completely finish" (just "finish")
-- Count occurrences and note line numbers
-
-### 3. Classify Severity
-
-**Calculate total violations:**
-- Conversational filler count
-- Wordy phrases count
-- Redundant phrases count
-- Total = sum of all categories
-
-**Determine severity:**
-- **Critical:** Total > 10 violations
-- **Warning:** Total 5-10 violations
-- **Pass:** Total < 5 violations
-
-### 4. Report Density Findings to Validation Report
-
-Append to validation report:
-
-```markdown
-## Information Density Validation
-
-**Anti-Pattern Violations:**
-
-**Conversational Filler:** {count} occurrences
-[If count > 0, list examples with line numbers]
-
-**Wordy Phrases:** {count} occurrences
-[If count > 0, list examples with line numbers]
-
-**Redundant Phrases:** {count} occurrences
-[If count > 0, list examples with line numbers]
-
-**Total Violations:** {total}
-
-**Severity Assessment:** [Critical/Warning/Pass]
-
-**Recommendation:**
-[If Critical] "PRD requires significant revision to improve information density. Every sentence should carry weight without filler."
-[If Warning] "PRD would benefit from reducing wordiness and eliminating filler phrases."
-[If Pass] "PRD demonstrates good information density with minimal violations."
-```

-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- PRD scanned for all three anti-pattern categories
-- Violations counted with line numbers
-- Severity classified correctly
-- Findings reported to validation report
-- Auto-proceeds to next validation step
-- Subprocess attempted with graceful degradation
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Not scanning all anti-pattern categories
-- Missing severity classification
-- Not reporting findings to validation report
-- Pausing for user input (should auto-proceed)
-- Not attempting subprocess architecture
-
-**Master Rule:** Information density validation runs autonomously. Scan, classify, report, auto-proceed. No user interaction needed.

-
-### 3. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
-
-If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
-
-**Extract from Product Brief:**
-- Vision: What is this product?
-- Users: Who is it for?
-- Problem: What problem does it solve?
-- Features: What are the key capabilities?
-- Goals: What are the success criteria?
-- Differentiators: What makes it unique?
-
-**For each item, search PRD:**
-- Scan Executive Summary for vision
-- Check User Journeys or user personas
-- Look for problem statement
-- Review Functional Requirements for features
-- Check Success Criteria section
-- Search for differentiators
-
-**Classify coverage:**
-- **Fully Covered:** Content present and complete
-- **Partially Covered:** Content present but incomplete
-- **Not Found:** Content missing from PRD
-- **Intentionally Excluded:** Content explicitly out of scope
-
-### 4. Assess Coverage and Severity
-
-**For each gap (Partially Covered or Not Found):**
-- Is this Critical? (Core vision, primary users, main features)
-- Is this Moderate? (Secondary features, some goals)
-- Is this Informational? (Nice-to-have features, minor details)
-
-**Note:** Some exclusions may be intentional (valid scoping decisions)

-
-**Functional Requirements Analysis:**

-**Format compliance:**
-- Does it follow "[Actor] can [capability]" pattern?
-- Is actor clearly defined?
-- Is capability actionable and testable?

-**No implementation details:**
-- Scan for: React, Vue, Angular, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Redux, etc.
-- Unless capability-relevant (e.g., "API consumers can access...")
-- Note line numbers
-
-**Non-Functional Requirements Analysis:**
-
-Extract all NFRs and check each for:
-
-**Specific metrics:**
-- Is there a measurable criterion? (e.g., "response time < 200ms", not "fast response")
-- Can this be measured or tested?
