Use after writing a spec when the resolved piGauntlet.specCouncil members list is non-empty. Auto-dispatched by /skill:brainstorming as its configured critique pass with a fresh-context applier executor before the spec review gate.
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
# Roasting the Spec (Spec Council) ## Overview Run a multi-model critique pass for a freshly written spec. Each council **member** runs on a different model and critiques independently; the neutral **chair** consolidates and adjudicates disagreements. Dispatch a fresh-context **applier** inheriting the main loop's model and thinking to decide dispositions and edit the spec, returning only the audit. Hand the result to the **user** to ratify (or revert) at brainstorming's single gate. Auto-dispatched from `/skill:brainstorming` as the critique pass, after the inline lint and before the user review gate, **only when a council is configured** (`members` non-empty). brainstorming owns that gate; when no council is configured it runs a single fresh-`worker` critique instead and does not invoke this skill. ## Hard constraint This skill may read anything and edit **only** the spec under `doc/specs/`. It does not write code, does not run implementation skills, and does not land anything on `main`. Applied edits ride in the same worktree spec commit as the rest of brainstorming's output. ## Separation of powers …

How to install
mdr add jjuraszek/pi-gauntlet/roasting-the-spec@sha256:a9660d8724728b55The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.c79e361, 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.
