Use when drafting, reviewing, or improving Gherkin, Cucumber scenarios, BDD acceptance criteria, feature examples, Scenario Outlines, Backgrounds, Rules, Doc Strings, Data Tables, tags, or Gherkin embedded in Markdown.
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
# Gherkin Authoring ## Overview Write Gherkin as executable examples of business behavior. Optimize for domain language, concrete examples, and observable outcomes; keep implementation and UI mechanics inside step definitions. ## Scope Use this for standalone `.feature` files and Gherkin embedded in Markdown or other prose. When Gherkin is inside a Markdown wrapper, review or rewrite only the Gherkin section unless the user asks for broader document edits. Preserve fences, headings, and surrounding prose. If the input includes Markdown around the Gherkin, return the Markdown wrapper with only the Gherkin block changed. ## Workflow 1. Identify the Gherkin region: whole `.feature` file, fenced `gherkin` block, indented block, quoted acceptance criteria, or inline scenario text. 2. Preserve the surrounding wrapper unless explicitly asked to change it. For Markdown input, return the heading/prose/fence context, not just the fenced Gherkin block. 3. Clarify the behavior as examples: initial state, event, observable outcome. …

How to install
mdr add intent-driven-dev/intent-driven-template/gherkin-authoring@sha256:6be226f25e2968f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260510.a8b8231, 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.
