validate-plan from rfxlamia/pocketto is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rfxlamia/pocketto/validate-plan@git:20261009.19e3380

Pins git:20261009.19e3380 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Validate implementation plans against DRY, YAGNI, TDD principles and best practices. Use when reviewing plans from pocket-planning or another planning workflow to identify gaps, anti-patterns, and improvement opportunities before execution.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Validate Plan

## Overview

Comprehensive validation workflow for development implementation plans. This skill systematically analyzes plans against DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), and TDD (Test-Driven Development) principles while performing codebase-aware gap analysis to prevent implementation disasters.

**Use when:**
- Reviewing implementation plans created by the Pocket planning workflow or another source
- Validating development plans before execution
- Checking plans for DRY/YAGNI/TDD compliance
- Preventing over-engineering and scope creep
- Ensuring test-first approach in development workflow

**Triggers:** `/validate-plan` or "Validate this implementation plan"

---

## Validation Workflow

### Step 1: Plan Discovery

Accept either a plan file path or plan text supplied directly in the request. When invoked as a non-interactive reviewer (including the hotfix reviewer dispatch), use the supplied inline plan and do not ask questions or request a file path. If neither a path nor plan text is available in an interactive session, ask the user which plan to review.

For a file path:
1. Load plan file
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rfxlamia/pocketto/validate-plan@sha256:2c6cd065a4296894

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.19e3380, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
