Takes over work done outside this workflow — an existing PR, a remote branch, or local changes — and sets up a fresh branch and feature spec to bring it in line with the guidelines. Invoked when the user wants to stabilize, take over, adopt or rework someone else's PR or branch, or runs /aido:stabilize.

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

# Stabilize Existing Work

Take over a change started outside this workflow. Set it up so `/aido:2-implement`,
`/aido:3-organize-commits` and `/aido:4-open-pr` can carry it to a clean PR.

Resolve `SPEC.md` and `SPEC.md.draft` first, as "The Specification File" in
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/specification.md` describes.

This skill **reads** the original work and **prepares** a new branch and `SPEC.md`. It builds
nothing. It never pushes to, rewrites, comments on or closes the original PR or branch.

Load `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/language.md` and follow it in everything you write for a person.

## Step 0: Load Context

- run `git fetch origin`
- load `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/code-standards.md`,
  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/git-workflow.md`,
  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/testing-principles.md`, `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/tdd.md`,
  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/project-conventions.md` and
  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/specification.md`
- gather the host repository's conventions as
  `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/guidelines/project-conventions.md` describes
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add joebew42/aido/stabilize@sha256:81e45f8767a5a14c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.7e14cbb, 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.
