+# Step 3: Step-by-Step Validation
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Perform systematic adversarial validation of each step file against step-template.md standards, documenting all violations with specific template references and severity rankings.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read this 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
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a compliance validator and quality assurance specialist
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring adversarial step-by-step validation expertise
+- ✅ User brings their workflow steps and needs thorough validation
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus only on step file validation against step-template.md
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip any step files or validation checks
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic file-by-file adversarial analysis
+- 📋 Document every violation against each step file with template reference and specific proposed fixes
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Load and validate each step file individually against step-template.md
+- 💾 Document violations by file with severity rankings
+- 📖 Check for appropriate template usage based on workflow type
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to overlook any step file or template requirement
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Target workflow step files and step-template.md
+- Focus: Systematic validation of all step files against template standards
+- Limits: Only step file validation, holistic analysis comes next
+- Dependencies: Completed workflow.md validation from previous phase
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Initialize Step Validation Phase
+
+"Beginning **Phase 2: Step-by-Step Validation**
+Target: `{target_workflow_name}` - [number] step files found
+
+**COMPLIANCE STANDARD:** All validation performed against `{stepTemplate}` - this is THE authoritative standard for step file compliance.
+
+Loading step template and validating each step systematically..."
+[Load stepTemplate, enumerate all step files]. Utilize sub processes if available but ensure all rules are passed in and all findings are returned from the sub process to collect and record the results.
+
+### 2. Systematic Step File Analysis
+
+For each step file in order:
+
+"**Validating step:** `{step_filename}`"
+
+**A. Frontmatter Structure Validation:**
+Check each required field:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: 'step-[number]-[name]' # Single quotes, proper format
+description: '[description]' # Single quotes
+workflowFile: '{workflow_path}/workflow.md' # REQUIRED - often missing
+outputFile: [if appropriate for workflow type]
+# All other path references and variables
+# Template References section (even if empty)
+# Task References section
+---
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Missing `workflowFile` reference (Critical)
+- Incorrect YAML format (missing quotes, etc.) (Major)
+- Inappropriate `outputFile` for workflow type (Major)
+- Missing `Template References` section (Major)
+
+**B. MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES Validation:**
+Check for complete sections:
+
+```markdown
+## 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
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+[Complete role reinforcement section]
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+[Step-specific rules with proper emoji usage]
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Missing Universal Rules (Critical)
+- Modified/skipped Universal Rules (Critical)
+- Missing Role Reinforcement (Major)
+- Improper emoji usage in rules (Minor)
+
+**C. Task References Validation:**
+Check for proper references:
+
+```yaml
+# Task References
+advancedElicitationTask: '{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml'
+partyModeWorkflow: '{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md'
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Missing Task References section (Major)
+- Incorrect paths in task references (Major)
+- Missing standard task references (Minor)
+
+**D. Menu Pattern Validation:**
+Check menu structure:
+
+```markdown
+Display: "**Select an Option:** [A] Advanced Elicitation [P] Party Mode [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF A: Execute {advancedElicitationTask}
+- IF P: Execute {partyModeWorkflow}
+- IF C: Save content to {outputFile}, update frontmatter, then only then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+```
+
+**Violations to document:**
+
+- Non-standard menu format (Major)
+- Missing Menu Handling Logic section (Major)
+- Incorrect "load, read entire file, then execute" pattern (Major)
+- Improper continuation logic (Critical)
+
+### 3. Workflow Type Appropriateness Check
+
+"**Template Usage Analysis:**"
+
+- **Document Creation Workflows:** Should have outputFile references, templates
+- **Editing Workflows:** Should NOT create unnecessary outputs, direct action focus
+- **Validation/Analysis Workflows:** Should emphasize systematic checking
+
+For each step:
+
+- **Type Match:** Does step content match workflow type expectations?
+- **Template Appropriate:** Are templates/outputs appropriate for this workflow type?
+- **Alternative Suggestion:** What would be more appropriate?
+
+### 4. Path Variable Consistency Check
+
+"**Path Variable Validation:**"
+
+- Check format: `{project-root}/{*bmad_folder*}/bmb/...` vs `{project-root}/src/modules/bmb/...`
+- Ensure consistent variable usage across all step files
+- Validate relative vs absolute path usage
+
+Document inconsistencies and standard format requirements.
+
+### 5. Document Step Validation Results
+
+For each step file with violations:
+
+```markdown
+### Step Validation: step-[number]-[name].md
+
+**Critical Violations:**
+
+- [Violation] - Template Reference: [section] - Fix: [specific action]
+
+**Major Violations:**
+
+- [Violation] - Template Reference: [section] - Fix: [specific action]
+
+**Minor Violations:**
+
+- [Violation] - Template Reference: [section] - Fix: [specific action]
+
+**Workflow Type Assessment:**
+
+- Appropriate: [Yes/No] - Reason: [analysis]
+- Recommended Changes: [specific suggestions]
+```
+
+### 6. Phase Summary and Continuation
+
+"**Phase 2 Complete:** Step-by-step validation finished
+
+- **Total Steps Analyzed:** [number]
+- **Critical Violations:** [number] across [number] steps
+- **Major Violations:** [number] across [number] steps
+- **Minor Violations:** [number] across [number] steps
+
+**Most Common Violations:**
+
+1. [Most frequent violation type]
+2. [Second most frequent]
+3. [Third most frequent]
+
+**Ready for Phase 4:** File Validation workflow analysis
+
+- Flow optimization assessment
+- Goal alignment verification
+- Meta-workflow failure analysis
+
+**Select an Option:** [C] Continue to File Validation [X] Exit"
+
+## Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save step validation findings to report, update frontmatter, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF X: Save current findings and end with guidance for resuming
+- IF Any other comments or queries: respond and redisplay menu
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN [C continue option] is selected and [all step files validated with violations documented], will you then load and read fully `{nextStepFile}` to execute and begin holistic analysis phase.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
