Validation Suite

cognitive-interface-architecture / validation-suite

Definition

The full layered validation construct that converts agent output into a trusted artifact: Ground Truth Contract (defines correctness) → structured test battery (typical, edge, and adversarial cases) → red-team protocol (adversarial enumeration) → LLM-as-Judge (semantic evaluation). Each layer catches failure modes the previous layer cannot.

What this prevents

A prompt system validated only against typical cases will fail on edge and adversarial inputs. The Validation Suite requires all four layers before an output can be treated as production-grade.
