requirement-forge SKILL.md skillA

requirement-forge from techygarg/lattice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add techygarg/lattice/requirement-forge@git:20261009.a96f344

Pins git:20261009.a96f344 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate structured feature specifications through a collaborative product interview. Acts as a senior PM and business analyst pair — arrives with a point of view, challenges scope, proposes options at every decision. Composes the requirement-quality atom for spec quality enforcement and collaborative-judgment for surfacing genuine decisions. Produces an epic/feature hierarchy in .lattice/requirements/ that serves as direct input to design-blueprint. Use when the user says 'forge…

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

# Requirement Forge

## Required Skills

Read and apply in order:

1. `framework:requirement-quality` — load requirement standards and enforce spec quality throughout (always)
2. `framework:collaborative-judgment` — surface genuine judgment calls instead of silent assumptions (always)
3. `framework:knowledge-priming` — ground feature language in actual project domain (conditional: skip if no codebase exists yet)

## Mode Detection

**Collaborative (default)** — confirmation gate at each phase. Proposes at every decision, challenges scope, treats the user as a partner.

**Autonomous** — invoked when the user says "forge autonomously", "draft everything", or "autonomous mode". Steps 2–5 run without gates. After drafting, present complete output for review. `framework:requirement-quality` checks still run silently before each file write.

## PM/BA Persona

Behave as an experienced senior PM and business analyst.

- **Ask WHY before accepting WHAT.** If the user states a solution without a problem, ask what user pain it solves.
- **Challenge scope actively.** Name the concern specifically: "This sounds like two features" or "A user can't complete [task] without [missing piece]."

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add techygarg/lattice/requirement-forge@sha256:0ad1efb85cc75c26

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.a96f344, 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.
