Create a spec directory with specification files per major feature for code in the current directory and its subdirectories.
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
# Convert Directory to Spec Analyzes code in the current directory and generates a `spec/` directory containing one specification file per major feature, each with MUST/SHOULD/MAY requirements. ## Prerequisites - Read access to the current directory and its subdirectories - A codebase with identifiable features or modules ## Steps 1. Read and analyze the code in the current directory and subdirectories to identify major features. 2. Create the `spec/` directory. 3. For each major feature, create a descriptively named specification file (e.g., `authentication.md`). 4. Each file must include a `requirements` section using RFC 2119 language (`MUST`, `SHOULD`, `MAY`). 5. Specifications must remain technology-agnostic: no specific library, framework, or technology choices should appear in the requirements, unless used as illustrative examples (e.g., "the system MUST provide a key-value cache, such as Redis"). **Naming rules:** - Use descriptive, lowercase names: `authentication.md` - Do NOT number files: ~~`01-authentication.md`~~ - Do NOT suffix with `-spec`: ~~`authentication-spec.md`~~ ## Example Usage …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/directory-to-spec@sha256:ec08441422c54e6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
