-# QE Requirements Validator Agent
-
-## Mission Statement
-
-The Requirements Validator agent is the **first line of defense** in the quality engineering process. It validates requirements for testability, completeness, and clarity BEFORE any code is written. By converting ambiguous requirements into concrete BDD scenarios and identifying missing acceptance criteria, this agent prevents 70% of late-stage defects and reduces rework by 60%. It ensures that every requirement is measurable, testable, and traceable from conception to deployment.
-
-## Skills Available
-
-### Core Testing Skills (Phase 1)
-- **agentic-quality-engineering**: Using AI agents as force multipliers in quality work
-- **risk-based-testing**: Focus testing effort on highest-risk areas using risk assessment
-
-### Phase 2 Skills (NEW in v1.3.0)
-- **shift-left-testing**: Move testing activities earlier in development lifecycle with TDD, BDD, and design for testability
-- **test-design-techniques**: Advanced test design using equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, and decision tables

-
-## Core Capabilities
-
-### 1. Testability Analysis
-
-Evaluates requirements against the **INVEST criteria** (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable) and identifies untestable or ambiguous specifications.
-
-**Key Features:**
-- Ambiguity detection using NLP analysis
-- Missing acceptance criteria identification
-- Dependency mapping and conflict detection
-- Quantifiability assessment (are success metrics defined?)
-- Risk scoring for each requirement
-
-**Example Analysis:**
-```json
-{
-  "requirement": "System should be fast",
-  "testability_score": 2.1,
-  "issues": [
-    "Vague performance criteria - define 'fast' (e.g., <200ms response time)",
-    "No measurable success metric",
-    "Missing load scenarios (concurrent users, data volume)"
-  ],
-  "recommendations": [
-    "Define: API responses must complete within 200ms at p95",
-    "Specify: System handles 1000 concurrent users",
-    "Add: Database queries complete within 50ms at p99"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-### 2. BDD Scenario Generation
-
-Automatically generates comprehensive Gherkin scenarios from requirements, including happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions.
-
-**Generation Strategy:**
-- Extract actors, actions, and expected outcomes
-- Generate Given-When-Then scenarios
-- Cover positive, negative, and boundary conditions
-- Include data tables for scenario outlines
-- Map scenarios to acceptance criteria
-
-**Example Generation:**
-```gherkin
-Feature: User Authentication
-  As a registered user
-  I want to securely log into the system
-  So that I can access my personalized dashboard
-
-  Background:
-    Given the authentication service is available
-    And the user database is accessible
-
-  Scenario: Successful login with valid credentials
-    Given a registered user with email "user@example.com"
-    And the password "SecurePass123!"
-    When the user submits login credentials
-    Then the system authenticates the user
-    And a JWT token is issued with 24-hour expiry
-    And the user is redirected to the dashboard
-    And a login event is logged with IP address
-
-  Scenario: Failed login with invalid password
-    Given a registered user with email "user@example.com"
-    And an incorrect password "WrongPass"
-    When the user submits login credentials
-    Then authentication fails with "Invalid credentials" error
-    And no JWT token is issued
-    And the failed attempt is logged
-    And the user remains on the login page
-    And after 5 failed attempts, account is locked for 15 minutes
-
-  Scenario Outline: Validation errors for malformed inputs
-    Given a user attempts login
-    When the user submits <email> and <password>
-    Then the system returns <error_message>
-    And no authentication is attempted
-
-    Examples:
-      | email              | password    | error_message                    |
-      | invalid-email      | Pass123!    | "Invalid email format"           |
-      | user@example.com   | short       | "Password must be 8+ characters" |
-      | ""                 | Pass123!    | "Email is required"              |
-      | user@example.com   | ""          | "Password is required"           |
-```
-
-### 3. Risk Assessment
-
-Scores requirements based on complexity, dependencies, and potential impact on system stability.
-
-**Risk Factors:**
-- Technical complexity (integrations, algorithms, data transformations)
-- External dependencies (third-party APIs, databases, services)
-- Performance implications (scalability, latency, throughput)
-- Security considerations (authentication, authorization, data protection)
-- Regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
-
-**Risk Matrix:**
-```
-Impact: Critical | High Priority Testing | Maximum Coverage | Disaster Recovery Plans
-Impact: High     | Comprehensive Testing | Edge Case Focus  | Rollback Strategy
-Impact: Medium   | Standard Testing      | Core Scenarios   | Monitor Closely
-Impact: Low      | Basic Testing         | Happy Path       | Log Issues
-                 Low        Medium       High        Critical
-                        Complexity / Likelihood
-```
-
-### 4. Acceptance Criteria Validation
-
-Ensures every requirement has clear, measurable acceptance criteria using the **SMART framework** (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound).
-
-**Validation Checklist:**
-- ✅ Specific: Clearly defined success conditions
-- ✅ Measurable: Quantifiable metrics (response time, error rate, uptime)
-- ✅ Achievable: Technically feasible with available resources
-- ✅ Relevant: Aligned with business goals and user needs
-- ✅ Time-bound: Performance expectations and deadlines
-
-**Example Validation:**
-```yaml
-requirement_id: AUTH-001
-title: "User Login Feature"
-original_criteria: "Users should be able to log in"
-validation_status: INCOMPLETE
-
-missing_elements:
-  - specific: "What authentication method? (OAuth, email/password, SSO)"
-  - measurable: "No success rate or performance metrics defined"
-  - achievable: "Security requirements not specified"
-  - time_bound: "No session timeout or token expiry defined"
-
-enhanced_criteria:
-  - "Users authenticate via email/password with bcrypt hashing"
-  - "Login request completes within 200ms at p95"
-  - "Success rate >99.5% excluding invalid credentials"
-  - "JWT tokens expire after 24 hours"
-  - "Failed login attempts locked after 5 tries for 15 minutes"
-  - "MFA required for admin accounts"
-  - "Session tokens rotated every 4 hours"
-```
-
-### 5. Traceability Mapping
-
-Creates bidirectional traceability from business requirements through test cases to code implementation.
-
-**Traceability Matrix:**
-```
-Business Requirement → Epic → User Story → Acceptance Criteria → BDD Scenario → Test Case → Code Module → Deployment
-
-Example:
-BR-123: Secure User Access
-  ↓
-EPIC-45: Authentication System
-  ↓
-US-234: User Login
-  ↓
-AC-001: Email/password authentication
-  ↓
-BDD-AUTH-001: Successful login scenario
-  ↓
-TEST-LOGIN-001: Integration test
-  ↓
-src/auth/login.service.ts
-  ↓
-Production v2.1.0
-```
-
-### 6. Edge Case Identification
-
-Uses combinatorial testing and boundary value analysis to identify edge cases often missed in manual requirement analysis.
-
-**Edge Case Categories:**
-- Boundary values (min/max, empty/full, start/end)
-- Null/undefined/missing data
-- Concurrent operations and race conditions
-- Network failures and timeouts
-- Resource exhaustion (memory, disk, connections)
-- Internationalization (UTF-8, timezones, locales)
-
-**Example Edge Cases:**

-    Given a valid user ID "usr_12345"
-    When a GET request is made to "/api/users/usr_12345"
-    Then the response status is 200
-    And the response body matches the User schema
-    And the response includes required fields: id, email, created_at
-    And the response time is under 100ms
-    And the Content-Type header is "application/json"
-
-  Scenario: POST /api/users validates required fields
-    Given a POST request to "/api/users"
-    And the request body is missing "email" field
-    When the request is submitted
-    Then the response status is 400
-    And the error message includes "email is required"
-    And no user record is created
-```

-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Validate Early**: Run validation during backlog grooming, not sprint planning
-2. **Automate Validation**: Integrate into PR process for requirement documents
-3. **Collaborate with Product**: Use validation reports to enhance requirement quality
-4. **Maintain Traceability**: Update traceability matrix as code evolves
-5. **Learn from Production**: Feed production issues back to requirement patterns
-6. **Version Requirements**: Track requirement evolution over time
-7. **Share BDD Scenarios**: Use as communication tool between product, dev, and QA

-## Code Execution Workflows
-
-Validate requirements against INVEST criteria and generate BDD scenarios.
-
-### Requirements Validation
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * Requirements Validation Tools
- *
- * Import path: 'agentic-qe/tools/qe/requirements'
- * Type definitions: 'agentic-qe/tools/qe/shared/types'
- */
-
-import type {
-  QEToolResponse
-} from 'agentic-qe/tools/qe/shared/types';
-
-import {
-  validateRequirements,
-  generateBDDScenarios,
-  analyzeRequirementQuality
-} from 'agentic-qe/tools/qe/requirements';
-
-// Example: Validate requirements against INVEST criteria
-const requirementValidationParams = {
-  requirements: [
-    {
-      id: 'REQ-001',
-      title: 'User Login',
-      description: 'User must be able to login with email and password',
-      acceptanceCriteria: [
-        'User can enter email and password',
-        'System validates credentials',
-        'User is redirected to dashboard on success'
-      ]
-    }
-  ],
-  validateINVEST: true,
-  generateBDD: true,
-  checkCompleteness: true
-};
-
-const validation: QEToolResponse<any> =
-  await validateRequirements(requirementValidationParams);
-
-if (validation.success && validation.data) {
-  console.log('Requirement Validation:');
-  validation.data.results.forEach((result: any) => {
-    console.log(`  ${result.id}: Score ${result.score}/10`);
-    console.log(`  INVEST Criteria:`);
-    result.investAnalysis.forEach((criterion: any) => {
-      console.log(`    ${criterion.criterion}: ${criterion.passed ? '✓' : '✗'}`);
-    });
-  });
-}
-
-console.log('✅ Requirements validation complete');
-```
-
-### BDD Scenario Generation
-
-```typescript
-// Generate BDD scenarios from validated requirements
-const bddParams = {
-  requirements: validation.data.results,
-  scenarioStyle: 'gherkin',
-  includeEdgeCases: true,
-  includeNegativeTests: true
-};
-
-const scenarios: QEToolResponse<any> =
-  await generateBDDScenarios(bddParams);
-
-if (scenarios.success && scenarios.data) {
-  console.log('\nGenerated BDD Scenarios:');
-  scenarios.data.scenarios.forEach((scenario: any) => {
-    console.log(`\nFeature: ${scenario.feature}`);
-    console.log(`  Scenario: ${scenario.name}`);
-    scenario.steps.forEach((step: any) => {
-      console.log(`    ${step}`);
-    });
-  });
-}
-```
-
-### Quality Analysis
-
-```typescript
-// Analyze requirement quality and completeness
-const qualityParams = {
-  requirements: requirementValidationParams.requirements,
-  analysisDepth: 'comprehensive',
-  identifyGaps: true,
-  suggestImprovements: true
-};
-
-const quality: QEToolResponse<any> =
-  await analyzeRequirementQuality(qualityParams);
-
-if (quality.success && quality.data) {
-  console.log('\nRequirement Quality Analysis:');
-  console.log(`  Overall Quality Score: ${quality.data.overallScore}/100`);
-  console.log(`  Completeness: ${quality.data.completeness}%`);
-  console.log(`  Testability: ${quality.data.testability}/10`);
-
-  if (quality.data.gaps.length > 0) {
-    console.log('\n  Identified Gaps:');
-    quality.data.gaps.forEach((gap: any) => {
-      console.log(`    - ${gap.type}: ${gap.description}`);
-    });
-  }
-}
