# 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.
|
||||
