AI DevKit · Requirements phase guidance for starting features and reviewing requirements. Use when the user wants to capture a new requirement, clarify product scope, initialize feature docs, review requirements, or run dev-lifecycle phases 1-2.

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

# Dev Requirements

Run the requirements phases for configured AI docs features. Before making docs or code changes, propose the concrete plan for this phase and wait for user approval unless the user already approved the exact phase plan.

## Phase Contract

1. Run `npx ai-devkit@latest lint` before phase work.
2. If working on a named feature, run `npx ai-devkit@latest lint --feature <name>`.
3. If lint fails because project docs are not initialized, run `npx ai-devkit@latest init -a -e claude --built-in --yes`, then rerun lint.
4. Read existing configured AI docs and keep diffs minimal. Do not assume `docs/ai`; it is only the default docs directory.
5. Ask until every material product, UX, architecture, scope, validation, rollout, contradiction, trade-off, or open question is answered, explicitly deferred, or accepted as a named assumption.
6. Ask one decision at a time, with why it matters, 2-3 viable options when useful, and a recommended answer.
7. Do not create, update, approve, or transition past requirements while material open questions remain.
8. Restate the shared understanding before updating docs or suggesting the next phase.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/dev-requirements@sha256:a6eb725b981d81f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260703.7628b9e, 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.
