Captures what a business explorer knows as structured documents: business requirements (BRD with rules, constraints, assumptions), user stories with acceptance criteria, Mermaid workflow diagrams, and prototype observation notes. Use when the user says "capture requirements", "generate a BRD", "document business rules", "list the constraints", "write user stories", "Gherkin acceptance criteria", "map this process", "draw the approval flow", or after a prototype walkthrough.

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
# Capturing Business Requirements Capture loop shown in [capture-loop.mmd](references/capture-loop.mmd). It runs inside Phase 1, after a prototype walkthrough, and as the Phase 4 scribe. ## Contents - [Constraints](#constraints) • [Quick start](#quick-start) • [Workflow](#workflow) • [Verification](#verification) • [References](#references) ## Constraints - **Never invent.** Only record what the captures or the SME state; mark inferences `[UNCONFIRMED]` and explicit statements `[CONFIRMED]`. Do not promote without SME sign-off. - **Gap marker**: the exact string `[NEEDS HUMAN INPUT]` (reason in parentheses after it). `check_gaps.py` counts it; any variation is missed. It must not appear in the final handoff. - Track each open decision once under `## Consolidated Gaps`; treat `Decision Pre-fills` in the brief as confirmed. - One capture mode per invocation; cite the source file for every story and rule. - `prototype-notes.md` has a single writer: the observation extraction in [prototype-companion-agent.md](assets/prompts/prototype-companion-agent.md). - Cheap multi-pass work goes through the `cli-agent` skill using the prompt templates here; never name models. ## Quick start …

How to install
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/capturing-business-requirements@sha256:e687dc50cb9b614cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.3106a82, 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.
