Validates PRD, user stories, or feature requirements against SMART criteria. Use when reviewing requirements to catch vagueness before it causes expensive rework.

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

# vibe-requirements-validator

Vague requirements cause expensive rework. Catch them early.

## When to Use This Skill

- Reviewing a PRD or feature spec before implementation
- Writing acceptance criteria for user stories
- When you notice requirements like "make it fast" or "improve UX"
- Before estimating effort for a feature

## When NOT to Use This Skill

- Internal technical tasks with clear scope
- Bug fixes (the bug IS the requirement)
- When requirements are already validated and approved

## SMART Criteria

Score each requirement 1-5 on:

- **S**pecific — Is it clear what exactly needs to be built? (Not "improve performance" but "reduce P95 latency to <200ms")
- **M**easurable — Can you objectively verify it's done? (Not "users like it" but "NPS score >40")
- **A**chievable — Can it be built with available resources and constraints?
- **R**elevant — Does it align with project goals and user needs?
- **T**ime-bound — Is there a clear scope boundary? (Not "eventually" but "in v1.0")

## Steps

1. **List all requirements** from the document
2. **Score each** on SMART (1-5 per dimension)
3. **Flag issues**:
   - Score < 3 on any dimension → needs revision

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ash1794/vibe-engineering/vibe-requirements-validator@sha256:e4b0925468a22549

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.f6554ff, 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.
