Run the full ten-step validation on one idea and write a decision memo with a verdict, an experiment and kill criteria.

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

Run the workflow in `workflows/idea-validation.md` end to end.

Idea: $ARGUMENTS

Entry conditions:

- If `memory/user_profile.md` does not exist, run first-run onboarding first.
- If the argument names an existing slug in `memory/ideas/`, validate that one.
  Otherwise create `memory/ideas/<slug>/idea.md` from the description.
- The frontmatter must carry `business_model`. If who pays is not obvious, ask one
  question: consumers with their own card, or a business? Then set `status: in-validation`.

Follow all ten steps. Do not shortcut the research: every competitor price, market
size and channel cost needs a real source URL recorded in the file that uses it.

Before presenting the memo:

1. Run `python tests/validate_memory.py --idea <slug>` and fix every ERROR.
2. Set `status: scored` and `validated_at` in `idea.md`.

Present the memo in full. If the verdict is pivot or drop, offer `/pivot-idea <slug>`.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add latifox/find-me-saas/validate-idea@sha256:d87edd8fc065fa82

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.bf5dc3c, 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.
