Write or fully rewrite proposal.md (## Why / ## What / ## How / ## Risk). A pre-command hook forces research.md's [TBD] list to be empty. On completion, emit the HARD GATE and wait for user approval.

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

<!-- GENERATED from core/commands/propose.md — edit the core file and run node tools/generate.mjs; hand edits will be overwritten -->

# $spec-propose

## Pre-checks

The hook already scanned research.md before the command. If the hook blocks (outputs `{"decision":"block"}` to stdout, codex/hooks/) → switch to `$spec-ask` to resolve the [TBD] items.

Stay disciplined at the prompt level too:

- `spec/changes/<name>/research.md` must exist
- `## Open [TBD]` must be empty

## Flow

1. Read research.md: read `## Decided` + `## Practices` / `## Constraints` (the research conclusions for the current direction; `research/` drafts don't participate unless already revived into research.md)
2. Read design.md (if it exists)
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kamioj/spec-workflow/spec-propose@sha256:f579e66161766875

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.886d28d, 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.
