orun validate

orun validate checks intent, discovered component manifests, and type-specific schema constraints without generating a plan.

Always global

validate always operates on the full intent regardless of your current directory. CWD-based component scoping does not apply — you need to know the whole graph is valid, not just your component. The --all flag has no effect on this command.

Usage

orun validate

When --intent is not specified, orun auto-discovers intent.yaml by walking up the directory tree.

When to use it

  • pre-commit validation
  • fast CI checks before full plan rendering
  • debugging schema failures independently from execution planning

Examples

Validate the repository example:

orun validate -i examples/intent.yaml

Enable debug output while validating:

orun validate -i examples/intent.yaml --debug

Flags

FlagMeaning
--intent, -iIntent file path (auto-discovered if not set)
--debugEnable debug logging

Use validate first when you want a fast failure signal before compiling or executing a plan. --config-dir remains available as a global legacy fallback for folder-shaped compositions.
