Applies repository-specific requirements standards to requirement documents. Use this skill when creating, editing, or reorganizing requirements.
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 Authoring ## Discover the Requirements System Before editing, find and read the repository's agent instructions, source-of-truth hierarchy, requirements index, authoring standards, domain registry, identifier rules, templates, lint configuration, and representative nearby requirements. Treat those sources as authoritative over this skill's general guidance. Determine the following without assuming fixed names or locations: - The canonical requirements root and file organization. - The distinction between requirements, specifications, design notes, and tests. - Identifier syntax, allocation policy, uniqueness scope, and anchor normalization. - Required entry structure and permitted normative language. - Traceability direction, link format, and required targets. - Validation commands and repository task runner. Do not invent an identifier, domain, anchor, or traceability target when the allocation rule is unclear. Ask for direction when repository sources conflict or when the requested change would alter a higher-priority source of truth without authorization. ## Write Clear Requirements - State what outcome, behavior, or constraint is required. …

How to install
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/requirements-authoring@sha256:423cb95f1c23925dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.eb38ca7, 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.
