About the book of Proverbs
Pr 10:22
This verse stands at the center of vv. 12–32 ***as an important qualification***, relating to both the source and the nature of one’s wealth. If it is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich (see also v. 4), then how one seeks wealth (e.g., vv. 4b, 15a) is necessarily governed by a commitment to act righteously, and always to manifest a hope that rests not in material things but in the Lord who provides (see vv. 23–30). he adds no sorrow with it. When the Lord gives material blessing, he does not give it grudgingly or with condemnation but freely and with joy.

the conditon or requirement is set out (stipulated or specified) and must be met
Here it is about always remaining "righteous" if seeking wealth ("how one seeks wealth ...is necessarily governed by a commitment to act righteously")
and to be aware that true wealth is granted by God ("blessing of the Lord that makes rich")

as an important must-have condition/ability
Wealth is Lord's will, and in order to achieve this, one must have have the ability to do so by acting in virtue or morality, and to show hope not in the material things but in the Lord because He provides them to you without reluctance but freely and joy.

: "must-have condition" and "ability" in no way explain this, and your explanation is hardly grammatical
