+# Step 7: Architecture Validation & Completion
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+
+- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
+- ✅ ALWAYS treat this as collaborative discovery between architectural peers
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- 💬 FOCUS on validating architectural coherence and completeness
+- ✅ VALIDATE all requirements are covered by architectural decisions
+- ⚠️ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - AI development speed has fundamentally changed
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
+- ✅ Run comprehensive validation checks on the complete architecture
+- ⚠️ Present A/P/C menu after generating validation results
+- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
+- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]` before loading next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
+
+## COLLABORATION MENUS (A/P/C):
+
+This step will generate content and present choices:
+
+- **A (Advanced Elicitation)**: Use discovery protocols to address complex architectural issues found during validation
+- **P (Party Mode)**: Bring multiple perspectives to resolve validation concerns
+- **C (Continue)**: Save the validation results and complete the architecture
+
+## PROTOCOL INTEGRATION:
+
+- When 'A' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/advanced-elicitation.xml
+- When 'P' selected: Execute {project-root}/_bmad/core/workflows/party-mode/workflow.md
+- PROTOCOLS always return to display this step's A/P/C menu after the A or P have completed
+- User accepts/rejects protocol changes before proceeding
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Complete architecture document with all sections is available
+- All architectural decisions, patterns, and structure are defined
+- Focus on validation, gap analysis, and coherence checking
+- Prepare for handoff to implementation phase
+
+## YOUR TASK:
+
+Validate the complete architecture for coherence, completeness, and readiness to guide AI agents through consistent implementation.
+
+## VALIDATION SEQUENCE:
+
+### 1. Coherence Validation
+
+Check that all architectural decisions work together:
+
+**Decision Compatibility:**
+
+- Do all technology choices work together without conflicts?
+- Are all versions compatible with each other?
+- Do patterns align with technology choices?
+- Are there any contradictory decisions?
+
+**Pattern Consistency:**
+
+- Do implementation patterns support the architectural decisions?
+- Are naming conventions consistent across all areas?
+- Do structure patterns align with technology stack?
+- Are communication patterns coherent?
+
+**Structure Alignment:**
+
+- Does the project structure support all architectural decisions?
+- Are boundaries properly defined and respected?
+- Does the structure enable the chosen patterns?
+- Are integration points properly structured?
+
+### 2. Requirements Coverage Validation
+
+Verify all project requirements are architecturally supported:
+
+**From Epics (if available):**
+
+- Does every epic have architectural support?
+- Are all user stories implementable with these decisions?
+- Are cross-epic dependencies handled architecturally?
+- Are there any gaps in epic coverage?
+
+**From FR Categories (if no epics):**
+
+- Does every functional requirement have architectural support?
+- Are all FR categories fully covered by architectural decisions?
+- Are cross-cutting FRs properly addressed?
+- Are there any missing architectural capabilities?
+
+**Non-Functional Requirements:**
+
+- Are performance requirements addressed architecturally?
+- Are security requirements fully covered?
+- Are scalability considerations properly handled?
+- Are compliance requirements architecturally supported?
+
+### 3. Implementation Readiness Validation
+
+Assess if AI agents can implement consistently:
+
+**Decision Completeness:**
+
+- Are all critical decisions documented with versions?
+- Are implementation patterns comprehensive enough?
+- Are consistency rules clear and enforceable?
+- Are examples provided for all major patterns?
+
+**Structure Completeness:**
+
+- Is the project structure complete and specific?
+- Are all files and directories defined?
+- Are integration points clearly specified?
+- Are component boundaries well-defined?
+
+**Pattern Completeness:**
+
+- Are all potential conflict points addressed?
+- Are naming conventions comprehensive?
+- Are communication patterns fully specified?
+- Are process patterns (error handling, etc.) complete?
+
+### 4. Gap Analysis
+
+Identify and document any missing elements:
+
+**Critical Gaps:**
+
+- Missing architectural decisions that block implementation
+- Incomplete patterns that could cause conflicts
+- Missing structural elements needed for development
+- Undefined integration points
+
+**Important Gaps:**
+
+- Areas that need more detailed specification
+- Patterns that could be more comprehensive
+- Documentation that would help implementation
+- Examples that would clarify complex decisions
+
+**Nice-to-Have Gaps:**
+
+- Additional patterns that would be helpful
+- Supplementary documentation
+- Tooling recommendations
+- Development workflow optimizations
+
+### 5. Address Validation Issues
+
+For any issues found, facilitate resolution:
+
+**Critical Issues:**
+"I found some issues that need to be addressed before implementation:
+
+{{critical_issue_description}}
+
+These could cause implementation problems. How would you like to resolve this?"
+
+**Important Issues:**
+"I noticed a few areas that could be improved:
+
+{{important_issue_description}}
+
+These aren't blocking, but addressing them would make implementation smoother. Should we work on these?"
+
+**Minor Issues:**
+"Here are some minor suggestions for improvement:
+
+{{minor_issue_description}}
+
+These are optional refinements. Would you like to address any of these?"
+
