-# Audit Workflow - Validation Checklist
-
-## Structure
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml file loads without YAML syntax errors
-- [ ] instructions.md file exists and is properly formatted
-- [ ] template.md file exists (if document workflow) with valid markdown
-- [ ] All critical headers present in instructions (workflow engine reference, workflow.yaml reference)
-- [ ] Workflow type correctly identified (document/action/interactive/autonomous/meta)
-- [ ] All referenced files actually exist at specified paths
-- [ ] No placeholder text remains (like {TITLE}, {WORKFLOW_CODE}, TODO, etc.)
-
-## Standard Config Block
-
-- [ ] workflow.yaml contains `config_source` pointing to correct module config
-- [ ] `output_folder` pulls from `{config_source}:output_folder`
-- [ ] `user_name` pulls from `{config_source}:user_name`
-- [ ] `communication_language` pulls from `{config_source}:communication_language`
-- [ ] `date` is set to `system-generated`
-- [ ] Config source uses {project-root} variable (not hardcoded path)
-- [ ] Standard config comment present: "Critical variables from config"
-
-## Config Variable Usage
-
-- [ ] Instructions communicate in {communication_language} where appropriate
-- [ ] Instructions address {user_name} in greetings or summaries where appropriate
-- [ ] All file outputs write to {output_folder} or subdirectories (no hardcoded paths)
-- [ ] Template includes {{user_name}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template includes {{date}} in metadata (optional for document workflows)
-- [ ] Template does NOT use {{communication_language}} in headers (agent-only variable)
-- [ ] No hardcoded language-specific text that should use {communication_language}
-- [ ] Date used for agent date awareness (not confused with training cutoff)
-
-## YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
-
-- [ ] Every workflow.yaml variable (excluding standard config) is used in instructions OR template
-- [ ] No unused yaml fields present (bloat removed)
-- [ ] No duplicate fields between top-level and web_bundle section
-- [ ] All template variables ({{variable}}) have corresponding yaml definitions OR <template-output> tags
-- [ ] All <template-output> tags have corresponding template variables (if document workflow)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case naming convention
-- [ ] Variable names are descriptive (not abbreviated like {{puj}} instead of {{primary_user_journey}})
-- [ ] No hardcoded values in instructions that should be yaml variables
-
-## Web Bundle Validation (if applicable)
-
-- [ ] web_bundle section present if workflow needs deployment
-- [ ] All paths in web_bundle use bmad/-relative format (NOT {project-root})
-- [ ] No {config_source} variables in web_bundle section
-- [ ] instructions file listed in web_bundle_files array
-- [ ] template file listed in web_bundle_files (if document workflow)
-- [ ] validation/checklist file listed in web_bundle_files (if exists)
-- [ ] All data files (CSV, JSON, YAML) listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] All <invoke-workflow> called workflows have their .yaml files in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] **CRITICAL**: If workflow invokes other workflows, existing_workflows field is present
-- [ ] existing_workflows maps workflow variables to bmad/-relative paths correctly
-- [ ] All files referenced in instructions <action> tags listed in web_bundle_files
-- [ ] No files listed in web_bundle_files that don't exist
-- [ ] Web bundle metadata (name, description, author) matches top-level metadata
-
-## Template Validation (if document workflow)
-
-- [ ] Template variables match <template-output> tags in instructions exactly
-- [ ] All required sections present in template structure
-- [ ] Template uses {{variable}} syntax (double curly braces)
-- [ ] Template variables use snake_case (not camelCase or PascalCase)
-- [ ] Standard metadata header format correct (optional usage of {{date}}, {{user_name}})
-- [ ] No placeholders remain in template (like {SECTION_NAME})
-- [ ] Template structure matches document purpose
-
-## Instructions Quality
-
-- [ ] Each step has n="X" attribute with sequential numbering
-- [ ] Each step has goal="clear goal statement" attribute
-- [ ] Optional steps marked with optional="true"
-- [ ] Repeating steps have appropriate repeat attribute (repeat="3", repeat="for-each-X", repeat="until-approved")
-- [ ] Conditional steps have if="condition" attribute
-- [ ] XML tags used correctly (<action>, <ask>, <check>, <goto>, <invoke-workflow>, <template-output>)
-- [ ] No nested tag references in content (use "action tags" not "<action> tags")
-- [ ] Tag references use descriptive text without angle brackets for clarity
-- [ ] No conditional execution antipattern (no self-closing <check> tags)
-- [ ] Single conditionals use <action if="condition"> (inline)
-- [ ] Multiple conditionals use <check if="condition">...</check> (wrapper block with closing tag)
-- [ ] Steps are focused (single goal per step)
-- [ ] Instructions are specific with limits ("Write 1-2 paragraphs" not "Write about")
-- [ ] Examples provided where helpful
-- [ ] <template-output> tags save checkpoints for document workflows
-- [ ] Flow control is logical and clear
-
-## Bloat Detection
-
-- [ ] Bloat percentage under 10% (unused yaml fields / total fields)
-- [ ] No commented-out variables that should be removed
-- [ ] No duplicate metadata between sections
-- [ ] No variables defined but never referenced
-- [ ] No redundant configuration that duplicates web_bundle

-
-  </step>
-
-  <step n="4" goal="Config variable usage audit">
-    <action>Analyze instructions.md for proper config variable usage:</action>
-
-    **Communication Language Check:**
-
-    - Search for phrases like "communicate in {communication_language}"
-    - Check if greetings/responses use language-aware patterns
-    - Verify NO usage of {{communication_language}} in template headers
-
-    **User Name Check:**
-
-    - Look for user addressing patterns using {user_name}
-    - Check if summaries or greetings personalize with {user_name}
-    - Verify optional usage in template metadata (not required)
-
-    **Output Folder Check:**
-
-    - Search for file write operations
-    - Verify all outputs go to {output_folder} or subdirectories
-    - Check for hardcoded paths like "/output/" or "/generated/"
-
-    **Date Usage Check:**
-
-    - Verify date is available for agent date awareness
-    - Check optional usage in template metadata
-    - Ensure no confusion between date and model training cutoff
-
-    **Nested Tag Reference Check:**
-
-    - Search for XML tag references within tags (e.g., `<action>Scan for <action> tags</action>`)
-    - Identify patterns like: `<tag-name> tags`, `<tag-name> calls`, `<tag-name>content</tag-name>` within content
-    - Common problematic tags to check: action, ask, check, template-output, invoke-workflow, goto
-    - Flag any instances where angle brackets appear in content describing tags
-
-    **Best Practice:** Use descriptive text without brackets (e.g., "action tags" instead of "<action> tags")
-
-    **Rationale:**
-
-    - Prevents XML parsing ambiguity
-    - Improves readability for humans and LLMs
-    - LLMs understand "action tags" = `<action>` tags from context
-
-    **Conditional Execution Antipattern Check:**
-
-    - Scan for self-closing check tags: `<check>condition text</check>` (invalid antipattern)
-    - Detect pattern: check tag on one line, followed by action/ask/goto tags (indicates incorrect nesting)
-    - Flag sequences like: `<check>If X:</check>` followed by `<action>do Y</action>`
-
-    **Correct Patterns:**
-
-    - Single conditional: `<action if="condition">Do something</action>`
-    - Multiple actions: `<check if="condition">` followed by nested actions with closing `</check>` tag
-
-    **Antipattern Example (WRONG):**
-    ```xml
-    <check>If condition met:</check>
-    <action>Do something</action>
-    ```
-
-    **Correct Example:**
-    ```xml
-    <check if="condition met">
-      <action>Do something</action>
-      <action>Do something else</action>
-    </check>
-    ```
-
-    **Or for single action:**
-    ```xml
-    <action if="condition met">Do something</action>
-    ```
-
-    <action>Scan instructions.md for nested tag references using pattern: &lt;(action|ask|check|template-output|invoke-workflow|goto|step|elicit-required)&gt; within text content</action>
-    <action>Record any instances of nested tag references with line numbers</action>
-    <action>Scan instructions.md for conditional execution antipattern: self-closing check tags</action>
-    <action>Detect pattern: `&lt;check&gt;.*&lt;/check&gt;` on single line (self-closing check)</action>
-    <action>Record any antipattern instances with line numbers and suggest corrections</action>
-    <action>Record any improper config variable usage</action>
-    <template-output>config_usage_issues</template-output>
-
-    <action if="config usage issues found">Add to issues list with severity: IMPORTANT</action>
-    <action if="nested tag references found">Add to issues list with severity: CLARITY (recommend using descriptive text without angle brackets)</action>
-    <action if="conditional antipattern found">Add to issues list with severity: CRITICAL (invalid XML structure - must use action if="" or proper check wrapper)</action>
