How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
Validate that a SaaS idea is worth building before investing in specs and code. Non-autonomous: ask first, present options, get sign-off.
Phases
- Frame the bet — restate the idea as: target user, problem, and the painful status quo. Confirm with the user.
- Probe demand — who pays, how much, what they use today, why they'd switch. Ask one question at a time.
- Assess fit & moat — why this team/stack, what's defensible, what's the riskiest assumption.
- Draft the canvas — fill
.claude/templates/idea-validation.mdintodocs/specs/idea-validation.md(draft, await approval). Honor the review intensity: underfull, walk through each canvas section for sign-off; underlean, get a single confirmation before writing; undersolo, proceed and summarize after. - Director gate — product-director gives a PROCEED / PIVOT / KILL verdict with the single biggest risk to de-risk next.
- Next step — on PROCEED, point to
/write-prd.
Output
docs/specs/idea-validation.md + a clear verdict. Writes nothing else without approval.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
