# EVE Lab Topology Validation

Use this skill for the **final QA and delivery** phase of topology work.

## Workflow

1. Run the decision gate in `{baseDir}/references/decision-gate.md`.
2. Produce the required output sections from `{baseDir}/references/output-structure.md`.
3. Run the topology checks in `{baseDir}/references/checklists.md`.
4. If the design will be implemented, use the ordered build plan from `{baseDir}/references/build-and-config-rules.md`.

## Guardrails

- Do not approve build work while unresolved gate items remain.
- State PASS, WARN, or FAIL directly.
- Put unresolved items in the final risks/open-questions section; do not silently skip them.
