init SKILL.md skillB

init from chan4lk/specclaw is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/init@git:20261019.b5855fb

Pins git:20261019.b5855fb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a project has no .specclaw/ directory and the user wants to start using specclaw.

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

# specclaw init

1. Ask for a project name and one-line description if not given, then run `specclaw-init . "<name>" "<description>"`. It writes `flow: lean`, lean defaults and `.specclaw/mock/index.html`. It refuses if `.specclaw/` exists; never overwrite.
2. Init prints the presets it detected from the manifests (`presets:` in `config.yaml`). Ask the user to confirm or change them; the choices are `python`, `nextjs`, `node`, `dotnet` and `react-spa`, plus any project preset in `.specclaw/presets/<name>.md`, and `base` always applies. Write the answer to `presets: [..]`. Custom presets go in `.specclaw/presets/` (format in its `README.md`).
3. If the user wants the full flow (proposal, spec, design, tasks), follow `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/full/init.md` instead of steps 1–2.
4. Suggest tracking `.specclaw/` in git.
5. Next step: `/specclaw:propose`. Change 001 draws the minimal mock of the whole app.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/init@sha256:05224b4814174ba0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.b5855fb, 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.
