Orchestrates business idea validation via parallel sub-agents: Lean Canvas, JTBD, market/competitive/feasibility research, SWOT/PESTLE, and a weighted scorecard with verdict. Triggers on: "validate this idea", "evaluate my startup idea", "is this idea worth pursuing", "score this business idea", "validate my pitch".
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
# Business Idea Validator ## Purpose Perform rigorous, multi-dimensional validation of business ideas by orchestrating parallel research and synthesizing findings into a scored, actionable report. The goal is honest assessment — surfacing what holds up under scrutiny and what does not — rather than cheerleading or reflexive dismissal. ## Phase 1: Input Intake & Classification Classify the input: | Input Type | Indicators | Adaptation | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | Elevator pitch | 1-3 sentences, informal | Extract hypothesis, ask for missing details | | Business plan | Structured, multiple sections | Validate claims against research | | Feature proposal | Technical focus, existing product context | Narrow scope to feature viability | | Repo/codebase | File paths, code references | Technical feasibility + market fit | | Pivot assessment | "Should we pivot to...", comparison context | Compare current vs proposed direction | …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/idea-validator@sha256:2fdeb46ffac1ca77The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
