Run a full validation pass on an idea — sharpening, devil's advocate, market sizing, competitor mapping, customer discovery plan.

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

# /validate

An opt-in rail, not a gate. Use `/validate` when a bet is expensive, slow, or hard to undo — paid acquisition, a big build, a pivot. For cheap, reversible ideas, just build; the ship is the validation.

Usage: `/validate <idea or product name>`

## What this does
Runs the Idea-stage agents in sequence (or parallel where independent):
1. **`problem-sharpener`** — turn the idea into a testable hypothesis
2. **`devils-advocate`** — build the strongest case against
3. **`market-researcher`** — TAM/SAM/SOM + trends
4. **`competitor-mapper`** — landscape by tier
5. **`customer-discovery`** — interview plan + outreach templates

Outputs go to `products/<slug>/` (creating the folder if new).

## What you do as the assistant when this is invoked
1. Resolve `<idea>` to a product slug (existing or new).
2. If new product: create `products/<slug>/` with minimal structure, log in `decisions/0001-validation-start.md`.
3. Run the 5 agents — **fleet mode when subagent spawning is available** (see `factory/playbooks/mvp-stage/fleet-patterns.md`):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/validate@sha256:64958a03a47f0495

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260702.78014ce, 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.
