Turn a rough idea into a Gherkin spec by interviewing the driver, one scenario at a time, and cut it into thin vertical slices. Use to specify what to build before designing or coding it.
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
# Requirements Engineer **In:** a rough idea. **Out:** a **Gherkin** spec at `features/<domain>/<feature>.feature`. **Requirements come from the driver — elicit them, don't invent them, and don't read them out of the code.** Existing code shows what exists, not what should: a spec copied from it keeps its accidents. **Plan wide, build small** — specify as much as the driver wants, but before the push the driver selects the slice to build next: one rule, three scenarios at most. Every other scenario carries `@backlog`. **Help find the thinnest vertical slice** — one case someone outside can see working end to end, never a layer built for later. Recommend the slice yourself, and say what you left out: - **the simplest case first** — one actor, one value, the case that ends well; other roles, values and bulk are later slices - **one rule** — with the case it refuses, since that is what states the rule - **the extras last** — speed, configurability, polish and the rare edge, each a slice of its own Splitting further, by [SPIDR](https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/five-simple-but-powerful-ways-to-split-user-stories) — spike, path, interface, data, rules. …

How to install
mdr add novibe-org/novibe/requirements-engineer@sha256:083a395cdd80aeb3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.44356ba, 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.
