+# Sprint Planning Validation Checklist
+
+## Core Validation
+
+### Complete Coverage Check
+
+- [ ] Every epic found in epic\*.md files appears in sprint-status.yaml
+- [ ] Every story found in epic\*.md files appears in sprint-status.yaml
+- [ ] Every epic has a corresponding retrospective entry
+- [ ] No items in sprint-status.yaml that don't exist in epic files
+
+### Parsing Verification
+
+Compare epic files against generated sprint-status.yaml:
+
+```
+Epic Files Contains:                Sprint Status Contains:
+✓ Epic 1                            ✓ epic-1: [status]
+  ✓ Story 1.1: User Auth              ✓ 1-1-user-auth: [status]
+  ✓ Story 1.2: Account Mgmt           ✓ 1-2-account-mgmt: [status]
+  ✓ Story 1.3: Plant Naming           ✓ 1-3-plant-naming: [status]
+                                      ✓ epic-1-retrospective: [status]
+✓ Epic 2                            ✓ epic-2: [status]
+  ✓ Story 2.1: Personality Model      ✓ 2-1-personality-model: [status]
+  ✓ Story 2.2: Chat Interface         ✓ 2-2-chat-interface: [status]
+                                      ✓ epic-2-retrospective: [status]
+```
+
+### Final Check
+
+- [ ] Total count of epics matches
+- [ ] Total count of stories matches
+- [ ] All items are in the expected order (epic, stories, retrospective)

+
+## 📚 Document Discovery - Full Epic Loading
+
+**Strategy**: Sprint planning needs ALL epics and stories to build complete status tracking.
+
+**Epic Discovery Process:**
+
+1. **Search for whole document first** - Look for `epics.md`, `bmm-epics.md`, or any `*epic*.md` file
+2. **Check for sharded version** - If whole document not found, look for `epics/index.md`
+3. **If sharded version found**:
+   - Read `index.md` to understand the document structure
+   - Read ALL epic section files listed in the index (e.g., `epic-1.md`, `epic-2.md`, etc.)
+   - Process all epics and their stories from the combined content
+   - This ensures complete sprint status coverage
+4. **Priority**: If both whole and sharded versions exist, use the whole document
+
+**Fuzzy matching**: Be flexible with document names - users may use variations like `epics.md`, `bmm-epics.md`, `user-stories.md`, etc.

+
+**Story ID Conversion Rules:**

+
+<action>For each story, detect current status by checking files:</action>
+
+**Story file detection:**
+
+- Check: `{story_location_absolute}/{story-key}.md` (e.g., `stories/1-1-user-authentication.md`)
+- If exists → upgrade status to at least `drafted`
+
+**Story context detection:**
+
+- Check: `{story_location_absolute}/{story-key}-context.md` (e.g., `stories/1-1-user-authentication-context.md`)
+- If exists → upgrade status to at least `ready-for-dev`
+
+**Preservation rule:**
+
+- If existing `{status_file}` exists and has more advanced status, preserve it
+- Never downgrade status (e.g., don't change `done` to `drafted`)

+
+- Epic: `backlog` → `contexted`

+## Additional Documentation
+
+### Status State Machine
+
+**Epic Status Flow:**
+
+```
+backlog → contexted
+```
+
+- **backlog**: Epic exists in epic file but tech context not created
+- **contexted**: Epic tech context has been generated (prerequisite for story drafting)
+
+**Story Status Flow:**
+
+```
+backlog → drafted → ready-for-dev → in-progress → review → done
+```
+
+- **backlog**: Story only exists in epic file
+- **drafted**: Story file created (e.g., `stories/1-3-plant-naming.md`)
+- **ready-for-dev**: Draft approved + story context created
+- **in-progress**: Developer actively working
+- **review**: Under SM review (via code-review workflow)
+- **done**: Completed
+
+**Retrospective Status:**
+
+```
+optional ↔ completed
+```
+
+- **optional**: Can be done but not required
+- **completed**: Retrospective has been completed
+
+### Guidelines
+
+1. **Epic Context Recommended**: Epics should be `contexted` before stories can be `drafted`
+2. **Sequential Default**: Stories are typically worked in order, but parallel work is supported
+3. **Parallel Work Supported**: Multiple stories can be `in-progress` if team capacity allows
+4. **Review Before Done**: Stories should pass through `review` before `done`
+5. **Learning Transfer**: SM typically drafts next story after previous one is `done` to incorporate learnings
