Validate a plan, spec, or requirements document against the four expectation-fit lenses before implementation — surfacing surprising designs, non-idiomatic or reinvented approaches, needless complexity/scope, and missing UX decisions (states, flows, IA, accessibility). Returns dimensional 0-10 ratings and the gaps to resolve first. Use when a plan or spec doc exists. Run it on the final plan text, after any document review (for example ce-doc-review) and before implementation. It does not…

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

# Expectation Fit — Plan Validation

Reviews a *document* (plan, spec, or requirements) for the design decisions that, if
left surprising / non-idiomatic / over-complex / UX-incomplete, will derail
implementation. Catches the problem at the cheapest point — before code exists. Fans
out the four lenses in plan mode, each rating its dimensions 0-10 and naming the gaps.

## Argument parsing

`out:`, `prior:` and `lenses:` are shared tokens, defined once in
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/config-resolution.md` (Shared tokens). Their rows below
list only this skill's difference.

| Token | Effect |
|-------|--------|
| `mode:agent` | Emit JSON; no interactive routing. Writes a report file only with `out:`. |
| `out:<path>` | Shared token. |
| `prior:<report-path>` | Shared token. Turns the run into a re-check: each prior gap is marked closed or still open. |
| `config:<path>` | Override project config directory (walk-up / `EXPECTATION_FIT_CONFIG_DIR` otherwise). |
| `lenses:<list>` | Shared token. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davidteren/intent-engineering/fit-validate-plan@sha256:6aa3ffba356e026b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.55f76ee, 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.
