-# Step 10: SMART Requirements Validation
-
-## STEP GOAL:
-
-Validate Functional Requirements meet SMART quality criteria (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Traceable), ensuring high-quality requirements.
-
-## 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
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-### Role Reinforcement:
-
-- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
-- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
-- ✅ We engage in systematic validation, not collaborative dialogue
-- ✅ You bring requirements engineering expertise and quality assessment
-- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
-
-### Step-Specific Rules:
-
-- 🎯 Focus ONLY on FR quality assessment using SMART framework
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate other aspects in this step
-- 💬 Approach: Score each FR on SMART criteria (1-5 scale)
-- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Extract all FRs from PRD
-- 🎯 Score each FR on SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Traceable)
-- 💾 Flag FRs with score < 3 in any category
-- 📖 Append scoring table and suggestions to validation report
-- 📖 Display "Proceeding to next check..." and load next step
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Available context: PRD file, validation report
-- Focus: FR quality assessment only using SMART framework
-- Limits: Don't validate NFRs or other aspects, don't pause for user input
-- Dependencies: Steps 2-9 completed - comprehensive validation checks done
-
-## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
-
-**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
-
-### 1. Extract All Functional Requirements
-
-From the PRD's Functional Requirements section, extract:
-- All FRs with their FR numbers (FR-001, FR-002, etc.)
-- Count total FRs
-
-### 2. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
-
-**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
-
-"Perform SMART requirements validation on these Functional Requirements:
-
-{List all FRs}
-
-**For each FR, score on SMART criteria (1-5 scale):**
-
-**Specific (1-5):**
-- 5: Clear, unambiguous, well-defined
-- 3: Somewhat clear but could be more specific
-- 1: Vague, ambiguous, unclear
-
-**Measurable (1-5):**
-- 5: Quantifiable metrics, testable
-- 3: Partially measurable
-- 1: Not measurable, subjective
-
-**Attainable (1-5):**
-- 5: Realistic, achievable with constraints
-- 3: Probably achievable but uncertain
-- 1: Unrealistic, technically infeasible
-
-**Relevant (1-5):**
-- 5: Clearly aligned with user needs and business objectives
-- 3: Somewhat relevant but connection unclear
-- 1: Not relevant, doesn't align with goals
-
-**Traceable (1-5):**
-- 5: Clearly traces to user journey or business objective
-- 3: Partially traceable
-- 1: Orphan requirement, no clear source
-
-**For each FR with score < 3 in any category:**
-- Provide specific improvement suggestions
-
-Return scoring table with all FR scores and improvement suggestions for low-scoring FRs."
-
-**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
-- Manually score each FR on SMART criteria
-- Note FRs with low scores
-- Provide improvement suggestions
-
-### 3. Build Scoring Table
-
-For each FR:
-- FR number
-- Specific score (1-5)
-- Measurable score (1-5)
-- Attainable score (1-5)
-- Relevant score (1-5)
-- Traceable score (1-5)
-- Average score
-- Flag if any category < 3
-
-**Calculate overall FR quality:**
-- Percentage of FRs with all scores ≥ 3
-- Percentage of FRs with all scores ≥ 4
-- Average score across all FRs and categories
-
-### 4. Report SMART Findings to Validation Report
-
-Append to validation report:
-
-```markdown
-## SMART Requirements Validation
-
-**Total Functional Requirements:** {count}
-
-### Scoring Summary
-
-**All scores ≥ 3:** {percentage}% ({count}/{total})
-**All scores ≥ 4:** {percentage}% ({count}/{total})
-**Overall Average Score:** {average}/5.0
-
-### Scoring Table
-
-| FR # | Specific | Measurable | Attainable | Relevant | Traceable | Average | Flag |
-|------|----------|------------|------------|----------|-----------|--------|------|
-| FR-001 | {s1} | {m1} | {a1} | {r1} | {t1} | {avg1} | {X if any <3} |
-| FR-002 | {s2} | {m2} | {a2} | {r2} | {t2} | {avg2} | {X if any <3} |
-[Continue for all FRs]
-
-**Legend:** 1=Poor, 3=Acceptable, 5=Excellent
-**Flag:** X = Score < 3 in one or more categories
-
-### Improvement Suggestions
-
-**Low-Scoring FRs:**
-
-**FR-{number}:** {specific suggestion for improvement}
-[For each FR with score < 3 in any category]
-
-### Overall Assessment
-
-**Severity:** [Critical if >30% flagged FRs, Warning if 10-30%, Pass if <10%]
-
-**Recommendation:**
-[If Critical] "Many FRs have quality issues. Revise flagged FRs using SMART framework to improve clarity and testability."
-[If Warning] "Some FRs would benefit from SMART refinement. Focus on flagged requirements above."
-[If Pass] "Functional Requirements demonstrate good SMART quality overall."
-```

-### 5. Display Progress and Auto-Proceed
-
-Display: "**SMART Requirements Validation Complete**
-
-FR Quality: {percentage}% with acceptable scores ({severity})
-
-**Proceeding to next validation check...**"

-Immediately load and execute {nextStepFile} (step-v-11-holistic-quality-validation.md)

-
-## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
-
-### ✅ SUCCESS:
-
-- All FRs extracted from PRD
-- Each FR scored on all 5 SMART criteria (1-5 scale)
-- FRs with scores < 3 flagged for improvement
-- Improvement suggestions provided for low-scoring FRs
-- Scoring table built with all FR scores
-- Overall quality assessment calculated
-- Findings reported to validation report
-- Auto-proceeds to next validation step
-- Subprocess attempted with graceful degradation
-
-### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
-
-- Not scoring all FRs on all SMART criteria
-- Missing improvement suggestions for low-scoring FRs
-- Not building scoring table
-- Not calculating overall quality metrics
-- Not reporting findings to validation report
-- Not auto-proceeding
-
-**Master Rule:** FRs should be high-quality, not just present. SMART framework provides objective quality measure.
