Checklist Runner

Generic checklist execution engine. Validates work against any .md checklist with consistent behavior across all agents.

Usage

/checklist-runner story-dod-checklist
/checklist-runner pre-push-checklist --mode yolo
/checklist-runner po-master-checklist --mode interactive

Execution

1. Resolve Checklist

Parse $ARGUMENTS for checklist name. Search in order:

1. .aiox-core/development/checklists/{name}.md
2. .aiox-core/development/checklists/{name}
3. Fuzzy match if exact not found (e.g., "dod" → "story-dod-checklist.md")

If no checklist specified or multiple matches, present numbered options list.

2. Determine Mode

Mode	Behavior
yolo (default)	Process all sections autonomously, present final report
interactive	Section-by-section with user confirmation between each

3. Load Context

Gather documents and artifacts specified at the top of the checklist:

• Story files from docs/stories/
• Source code files from story's File List
• Test results from last npm test run
• Git diff for current changes

4. Process Checklist Items

For each item in the checklist:

1. Read and understand the requirement
2. Look for evidence in documentation/code that satisfies it
3. Consider both explicit mentions and implicit coverage
4. Follow any embedded LLM instructions in the checklist

Mark each item:

Verdict	Symbol	Meaning
PASS	✅	Requirement clearly met
FAIL	❌	Requirement not met or insufficient
PARTIAL	⚠️	Some aspects covered, needs improvement
N/A	➖	Not applicable (with justification)

5. Section Summary

For each section calculate:

• Pass rate: (PASS count) / (total - N/A count) * 100
• Common themes in failed items
• Specific recommendations for improvement

6. Final Report

## Checklist Report: {checklist-name}

**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD}
**Agent:** {current agent}
**Mode:** {yolo|interactive}

### Summary

| Section | Items | Pass | Fail | Partial | N/A | Rate |
|---------|-------|------|------|---------|-----|------|
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ...% |

**Overall:** {PASS_RATE}% ({total_pass}/{total_applicable})

### Failed Items

1. **{item}** — {reason} → {recommendation}

### Decision

**{APPROVED | NEEDS_WORK | FAIL}**
- APPROVED: >= 90% pass rate, 0 FAIL on critical items
- NEEDS_WORK: 70-89% pass rate OR any FAIL on non-critical
- FAIL: < 70% pass rate OR any FAIL on critical items
