docs/tech-stack.md)infrastructure-checklist.md(primary validation framework - 16 comprehensive sections)
Key Activities & Instructions
1. Confirm Interaction Mode
Ask the user: "How would you like to proceed with platform infrastructure validation? We can work: A. Incrementally (Default & Recommended): We'll work through each section of the checklist step-by-step, documenting compliance or gaps for each item before moving to the next section. This is best for thorough validation and detailed documentation of the complete platform stack. B. "YOLO" Mode: I can perform a rapid assessment of all checklist items and present a comprehensive validation report for review. This is faster but may miss nuanced details that would be caught in the incremental approach."
Request the user to select their preferred mode (e.g., "Please let me know if you'd prefer A or B.").
Once the user chooses, confirm the selected mode and proceed accordingly.
2. Initialize Platform Validation
Review the infrastructure change documentation to understand platform implementation scope and purpose
Analyze the infrastructure architecture document for platform design patterns and compliance requirements
Examine infrastructure guidelines for organizational standards across all platform components
Prepare the validation environment and tools for comprehensive platform testing
<critical_rule>Verify the infrastructure change request is approved for validation. If not, HALT and inform the user.</critical_rule>
3. Architecture Design Review Gate
DevOps/Platform → Architect Design Review:
Conduct systematic review of infrastructure architecture document for implementability
Evaluate architectural decisions against operational constraints and capabilities:
Implementation Complexity: Assess if proposed architecture can be implemented with available tools and expertise
Operational Feasibility: Validate that operational patterns are achievable within current organizational maturity
Resource Availability: Confirm required infrastructure resources are available and within budget constraints
Technology Compatibility: Verify selected technologies integrate properly with existing infrastructure
Security Implementation: Validate that security patterns can be implemented with current security toolchain
Maintenance Overhead: Assess ongoing operational burden and maintenance requirements
Document design review findings and recommendations:
Approved Aspects: Document architectural decisions that are implementable as designed
Implementation Concerns: Identify architectural decisions that may face implementation challenges
Required Modifications: Recommend specific changes needed to make architecture implementable
Alternative Approaches: Suggest alternative implementation patterns where needed
Collaboration Decision Point:
If critical implementation blockers identified: HALT validation and escalate to Architect Agent for architectural revision
If minor concerns identified: Document concerns and proceed with validation, noting required implementation adjustments
If architecture approved: Proceed with comprehensive platform validation
<critical_rule>All critical design review issues must be resolved before proceeding to detailed validation</critical_rule>
4. Execute Comprehensive Platform Validation Process
If "Incremental Mode" was selected:
For each section of the infrastructure checklist (Sections 1-16):
a. Present Section Purpose: Explain what this section validates and why it's important for platform operations
b. Work Through Items: Present each checklist item, guide the user through validation, and document compliance or gaps
c. Evidence Collection: For each compliant item, document how compliance was verified
d. Gap Documentation: For each non-compliant item, document specific issues and proposed remediation
e. Platform Integration Testing: For platform engineering sections (13-16), validate integration between platform components
g. Section Summary: Provide a compliance percentage and highlight critical findings before moving to the next section
If "YOLO Mode" was selected:
Work through all checklist sections rapidly (foundation infrastructure sections 1-12 + platform engineering sections 13-16)
Document compliance status for each item across all platform components
Identify and document critical non-compliance issues affecting platform operations
Present a comprehensive validation report for all sections
<important_note>After presenting the full validation report in YOLO mode, you MAY still offer the 'Advanced Reflective & Elicitation Options' menu for deeper investigation of specific sections with issues.</important_note>
5. Generate Comprehensive Platform Validation Report
Summarize validation findings by section across all 16 checklist areas
Calculate and present overall compliance percentage for complete platform stack
Clearly document all non-compliant items with remediation plans prioritized by platform impact
Highlight critical security or operational risks affecting platform reliability
Include design review findings and architectural implementation recommendations
Provide validation signoff recommendation based on complete platform assessment
Document platform component integration validation results
6. JAEGIS Integration Assessment
Review how platform infrastructure changes support other JAEGIS agents:
Development Agent Alignment: Verify platform infrastructure supports Frontend Dev, Backend Dev, and Full Stack Dev requirements including:
Container platform development environment provisioning
GitOps workflows for application deployment
Service mesh integration for development testing
Developer experience platform self-service capabilities
Product Alignment: Ensure platform infrastructure implements PRD requirements from Product Owner including:
Scalability and performance requirements through container platform
Deployment automation through GitOps workflows
Service reliability through service mesh implementation
Architecture Alignment: Validate that platform implementation aligns with architecture decisions including:
Technology selections implemented correctly across all platform components
Security architecture implemented in container platform, service mesh, and GitOps
Integration patterns properly implemented between platform components
Document all integration points and potential impacts on other agents' workflows
7. Next Steps Recommendation
If validation successful:
Prepare platform deployment recommendation with component dependencies
Outline monitoring requirements for complete platform stack
Suggest knowledge transfer activities for platform operations
Document platform readiness certification
If validation failed:
Prioritize remediation actions by platform component and integration impact
Recommend blockers vs. non-blockers for platform deployment
Schedule follow-up validation with focus on failed platform components
Document platform risks and mitigation strategies
If design review identified architectural issues:
Escalate to Architect Agent for architectural revision and re-design
Document specific architectural changes required for implementability
Schedule follow-up design review after architectural modifications
Update documentation with validation results across all platform components
<important_note>Always ensure the Infrastructure Change Request status is updated to reflect the platform validation outcome.</important_note>

Offer Advanced Self-Refinement & Elicitation Options
Present the user with the following list of 'Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions'. Explain that these are optional steps to help ensure quality, explore alternatives, and deepen the understanding of the current section before finalizing it and moving on. The user can select an action by number, or choose to skip this and proceed to finalize the section.
"To ensure the quality of the current section: [Specific Section Name] and to ensure its robustness, explore alternatives, and consider all angles, I can perform any of the following actions. Please choose a number (8 to finalize and proceed):
Advanced Reflective, Elicitation & Brainstorming Actions I Can Take:
Critical Security Assessment & Risk Analysis
Platform Integration & Component Compatibility Evaluation
