+  <file id="bmad/bmm/workflows/3-solutioning/architecture/checklist.md" type="md"><![CDATA[# Architecture Document Validation Checklist
+  
+  **Purpose**: Validate the architecture document itself is complete, implementable, and provides clear guidance for AI agents.
+  
+  **Note**: This checklist validates the ARCHITECTURE DOCUMENT only. For cross-workflow validation (PRD → Architecture → Stories alignment), use the solutioning-gate-check workflow.
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 1. Decision Completeness
+  
+  ### All Decisions Made
+  
+  - [ ] Every critical decision category has been resolved
+  - [ ] All important decision categories addressed
+  - [ ] No placeholder text like "TBD", "[choose]", or "{TODO}" remains
+  - [ ] Optional decisions either resolved or explicitly deferred with rationale
+  
+  ### Decision Coverage
+  
+  - [ ] Data persistence approach decided
+  - [ ] API pattern chosen
+  - [ ] Authentication/authorization strategy defined
+  - [ ] Deployment target selected
+  - [ ] All functional requirements have architectural support
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 2. Version Specificity
+  
+  ### Technology Versions
+

+  - [ ] Version numbers are current (verified via WebSearch, not hardcoded)
+  - [ ] Compatible versions selected (e.g., Node.js version supports chosen packages)
+  - [ ] Verification dates noted for version checks
+  
+  ### Version Verification Process
+  
+  - [ ] WebSearch used during workflow to verify current versions
+  - [ ] No hardcoded versions from decision catalog trusted without verification
+  - [ ] LTS vs. latest versions considered and documented
+  - [ ] Breaking changes between versions noted if relevant
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 3. Starter Template Integration (if applicable)
+  
+  ### Template Selection
+  
+  - [ ] Starter template chosen (or "from scratch" decision documented)
+  - [ ] Project initialization command documented with exact flags
+  - [ ] Starter template version is current and specified
+  - [ ] Command search term provided for verification
+  
+  ### Starter-Provided Decisions
+  
+  - [ ] Decisions provided by starter marked as "PROVIDED BY STARTER"
+  - [ ] List of what starter provides is complete
+  - [ ] Remaining decisions (not covered by starter) clearly identified
+  - [ ] No duplicate decisions that starter already makes
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 4. Novel Pattern Design (if applicable)
+  
+  ### Pattern Detection
+  
+  - [ ] All unique/novel concepts from PRD identified
+  - [ ] Patterns that don't have standard solutions documented
+  - [ ] Multi-epic workflows requiring custom design captured
+  
+  ### Pattern Documentation Quality
+  
+  - [ ] Pattern name and purpose clearly defined
+  - [ ] Component interactions specified
+  - [ ] Data flow documented (with sequence diagrams if complex)
+  - [ ] Implementation guide provided for agents
+  - [ ] Edge cases and failure modes considered
+  - [ ] States and transitions clearly defined
+  
+  ### Pattern Implementability
+  
+  - [ ] Pattern is implementable by AI agents with provided guidance
+  - [ ] No ambiguous decisions that could be interpreted differently
+  - [ ] Clear boundaries between components
+  - [ ] Explicit integration points with standard patterns
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 5. Implementation Patterns
+  
+  ### Pattern Categories Coverage
+  
+  - [ ] **Naming Patterns**: API routes, database tables, components, files
+  - [ ] **Structure Patterns**: Test organization, component organization, shared utilities
+  - [ ] **Format Patterns**: API responses, error formats, date handling
+  - [ ] **Communication Patterns**: Events, state updates, inter-component messaging
+  - [ ] **Lifecycle Patterns**: Loading states, error recovery, retry logic
+  - [ ] **Location Patterns**: URL structure, asset organization, config placement
+  - [ ] **Consistency Patterns**: UI date formats, logging, user-facing errors
+  
+  ### Pattern Quality
+  
+  - [ ] Each pattern has concrete examples
+  - [ ] Conventions are unambiguous (agents can't interpret differently)
+  - [ ] Patterns cover all technologies in the stack
+  - [ ] No gaps where agents would have to guess
+  - [ ] Implementation patterns don't conflict with each other
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 6. Technology Compatibility
+  
+  ### Stack Coherence
+  
+  - [ ] Database choice compatible with ORM choice
+  - [ ] Frontend framework compatible with deployment target
+  - [ ] Authentication solution works with chosen frontend/backend
+  - [ ] All API patterns consistent (not mixing REST and GraphQL for same data)
+  - [ ] Starter template compatible with additional choices
+  
+  ### Integration Compatibility
+  
+  - [ ] Third-party services compatible with chosen stack
+  - [ ] Real-time solutions (if any) work with deployment target
+  - [ ] File storage solution integrates with framework
+  - [ ] Background job system compatible with infrastructure
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 7. Document Structure
+  
+  ### Required Sections Present
+  
+  - [ ] Executive summary exists (2-3 sentences maximum)
+  - [ ] Project initialization section (if using starter template)
+  - [ ] Decision summary table with ALL required columns:
+    - Category
+    - Decision
+    - Version
+    - Rationale
+  - [ ] Project structure section shows complete source tree
+  - [ ] Implementation patterns section comprehensive
+  - [ ] Novel patterns section (if applicable)
+  
+  ### Document Quality
+  
+  - [ ] Source tree reflects actual technology decisions (not generic)
+  - [ ] Technical language used consistently
+  - [ ] Tables used instead of prose where appropriate
+  - [ ] No unnecessary explanations or justifications
+  - [ ] Focused on WHAT and HOW, not WHY (rationale is brief)
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 8. AI Agent Clarity
+  
+  ### Clear Guidance for Agents
+  
+  - [ ] No ambiguous decisions that agents could interpret differently
+  - [ ] Clear boundaries between components/modules
+  - [ ] Explicit file organization patterns
+  - [ ] Defined patterns for common operations (CRUD, auth checks, etc.)
+  - [ ] Novel patterns have clear implementation guidance
+  - [ ] Document provides clear constraints for agents
+  - [ ] No conflicting guidance present
+  
+  ### Implementation Readiness
+  
+  - [ ] Sufficient detail for agents to implement without guessing
+  - [ ] File paths and naming conventions explicit
+  - [ ] Integration points clearly defined
+  - [ ] Error handling patterns specified
+  - [ ] Testing patterns documented
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 9. Practical Considerations
+  
+  ### Technology Viability
+  
+  - [ ] Chosen stack has good documentation and community support
+  - [ ] Development environment can be set up with specified versions
+  - [ ] No experimental or alpha technologies for critical path
+  - [ ] Deployment target supports all chosen technologies
+  - [ ] Starter template (if used) is stable and well-maintained
+  
+  ### Scalability
+  
+  - [ ] Architecture can handle expected user load
+  - [ ] Data model supports expected growth
+  - [ ] Caching strategy defined if performance is critical
+  - [ ] Background job processing defined if async work needed
+  - [ ] Novel patterns scalable for production use
+  
+  ---
+  
+  ## 10. Common Issues to Check
+  
+  ### Beginner Protection
+  
+  - [ ] Not overengineered for actual requirements
+  - [ ] Standard patterns used where possible (starter templates leveraged)
+  - [ ] Complex technologies justified by specific needs
+  - [ ] Maintenance complexity appropriate for team size
+  
+  ### Expert Validation
+  
+  - [ ] No obvious anti-patterns present
+  - [ ] Performance bottlenecks addressed
+  - [ ] Security best practices followed
+  - [ ] Future migration paths not blocked
+  - [ ] Novel patterns follow architectural principles
+  
+  ---

+  - Architecture Completeness: [Complete / Mostly Complete / Partial / Incomplete]
+  - Version Specificity: [All Verified / Most Verified / Some Missing / Many Missing]
+  - Pattern Clarity: [Crystal Clear / Clear / Somewhat Ambiguous / Ambiguous]
+  - AI Agent Readiness: [Ready / Mostly Ready / Needs Work / Not Ready]

+  ### Recommended Actions Before Implementation
+  
+  1. ***
+  2. ***
+  3. ***
+  
+  ---
+  
+  **Next Step**: Run the **solutioning-gate-check** workflow to validate alignment between PRD, Architecture, and Stories before beginning implementation.

+  
+  _This checklist validates architecture document quality only. Use solutioning-gate-check for comprehensive readiness validation._
