# Sprint Planning Validation Checklist

## Core Validation

### Complete Coverage Check

- [ ] Every epic found in epic\*.md files appears in sprint-status.yaml
- [ ] Every story found in epic\*.md files appears in sprint-status.yaml
- [ ] Every epic has a corresponding retrospective entry
- [ ] No items in sprint-status.yaml that don't exist in epic files

### Parsing Verification

Compare epic files against generated sprint-status.yaml:

```
