What it does
Validation Report Generator is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-cto-team. Generate structured 8-section validation reports with verdict (GOOD/BAD/NEEDS MAJOR WORK), strengths, critical flaws, blindspots, and concrete path forward. Use after strategic-cto-mentor has completed validation analysis and needs to produce final deliverable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `report-template.md` and `verdict-criteria.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Your personal CTO Team for Claude Code . These Subagents will help you challenging yourself while you plan and execute. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/validation-report-generator”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a5bbb78. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Validation Report Generator loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 644 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- validation-report-generator
- description
- Generate structured 8-section validation reports with verdict (GOOD/BAD/NEEDS MAJOR WORK), strengths, critical flaws, blindspots, and concrete path forward. Use after strategic-cto-mentor has completed validation analysis and needs to produce final deliverable.
Validation Report Generator
Transforms validation analysis into structured, actionable reports that provide clear verdicts and specific guidance.
When to Use
- After completing validation analysis of a plan, proposal, or architecture
- When producing final deliverable for strategic-cto-mentor
- When formalizing feedback into a consistent, comprehensive format
- Before handing off validated/rejected work back to the requester
Report Structure
Every validation report follows the 8-Section Format:
Section 1: Verdict
Purpose: Unambiguous assessment with confidence level
Options:
- GOOD: Ready for implementation (may have minor suggestions)
- NEEDS MAJOR WORK: Fundamentally sound but has significant gaps
- BAD: Should not proceed without fundamental rethinking
Include:
- Clear verdict (one of the three options)
- Confidence level (High/Medium/Low)
- One-sentence summary of why
Section 2: What You Got Right
Purpose: Acknowledge genuine strengths (builds trust for criticism)
Include:
- 2-3 specific things done well
- Why each matters
- What to preserve in revisions
Avoid:
- Generic praise ("good work!")
- Inflating minor positives
- Praising the obvious
Section 3: Critical Flaws
Purpose: Expose fatal or near-fatal weaknesses
Format for each flaw:
**Flaw**: [What's wrong]
**Why It Matters**: [Business/technical impact]
**Consequence**: [What happens if not addressed]Include:
- Prioritized list (most critical first)
- Specific evidence, not vague concerns
- Impact quantification where possible
Section 4: What You're Not Considering
Purpose: Surface blindspots and hidden assumptions
Types of blindspots:
- Unstated assumptions (treated as facts)
- Ignored failure modes
- Missing stakeholders
- External dependencies not accounted for
- Scale implications not considered
Include:
- What was assumed vs. what should be validated
- Questions that should have been asked
- Scenarios that weren't explored
Section 5: The Real Question
Purpose: Reframe if solving wrong problem
When to use:
- Problem definition is too narrow/broad
- Symptoms treated instead of root cause
- Constraint accepted that should be challenged
- Solution in search of a problem
Format:
"You're asking [stated question], but the real question might be [reframed question]."
Skip if: The problem is correctly framed (state this explicitly)
Section 6: What Bulletproof Looks Like
Purpose: Define success criteria for revision
Include:
- Specific criteria for acceptable solution
- Measurable outcomes
- What evidence would prove the concerns addressed
Format:
For this to be ready for implementation:
- [ ] [Criterion 1]
- [ ] [Criterion 2]
- [ ] [Criterion 3]Section 7: Recommended Path Forward
Purpose: Concrete next steps
If GOOD:
- Any minor improvements before proceeding
- What to monitor during implementation
- Validation checkpoints
If NEEDS MAJOR WORK:
- Specific areas to revise
- Suggested approach for each
- Whether to route back to architect
If BAD:
- Alternative approaches to consider
- What fundamental rethinking is needed
- Whether to restart with different framing
Show full SKILL.md (266 more words)Show less
Section 8: Questions You Need to Answer First
Purpose: Information gaps blocking progress
Include:
- Questions that must be answered before proceeding
- Who can answer each question
- What decisions are blocked until answered
Generating the Report
Step 1: Gather Analysis
Before generating report, ensure you have completed:
- Assumption identification
- Risk assessment (7 dimensions)
- Anti-pattern detection
- Timeline/budget reality check
- Team capacity evaluation
Step 2: Determine Verdict
Use the Verdict Criteria to classify:
GOOD if:
- Core assumptions are valid
- Timeline is realistic
- Budget is appropriate
- Team can execute
- Risks are manageable
- No fundamental anti-patterns
NEEDS MAJOR WORK if:
- Core approach is sound but...
- Significant gaps exist in 2+ areas
- Timeline/budget needs adjustment
- Some assumptions need validation
BAD if:
- Core assumptions are invalid
- Fundamental anti-pattern detected
- Timeline is fantasy
- Budget is unrealistic by >50%
- Team cannot execute
- Wrong problem being solved
Step 3: Gather Evidence
For each section, cite specific evidence:
- Quote from the proposal
- Data points that contradict claims
- Industry benchmarks
- Historical precedent
Step 4: Calibrate Tone
Match tone to verdict:
| Verdict | Tone |
|---|---|
| GOOD | Affirming with minor suggestions |
| NEEDS MAJOR WORK | Constructive but direct |
| BAD | Brutally honest but respectful |
Step 5: Write Report
Use the Report Template to structure output.

- Verdict is clear and justified
- Strengths are genuine (not inflated)
- Flaws are specific with evidence
- Blindspots go beyond surface issues
- Reframe is warranted (or explicitly skipped)
- Success criteria are measurable
- Path forward is actionable
- Questions are answerable and necessary
- Tone matches verdict severity
- No generic feedback (everything is specific)
