Parks a change deliberately — writes a .paused marker (date + reason) so it stops counting as active and status shows it as set aside, with every artifact (ledger, index, proposal) staying warm for $spec-resume. Optional bookkeeping, not a switching ritual — switching lives in $spec-resume <name>. Refuses on a running $spec-loop change.

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.

# $spec-stash

Reason (optional): $ARGUMENTS

Parks a change **deliberately, with a recorded reason** — the directory stays in place with every artifact intact; gates and the Stop reminder skip `.paused` dirs, and `$spec-status` lists it as set aside instead of active. Parking is bookkeeping, not a prerequisite for working on something else: active changes coexist freely, and switching between them is `$spec-resume <name>` (the current pointer). Park what you want visibly shelved; resume anytime — the ledger's V-N history, the index, and the proposal come back exactly as left.

Unlike `git stash`, this touches **no source code and no git state** — it only marks the spec change directory as set aside. Uncommitted code changes stay exactly where they are.

## Process

1. **Identify the target**: the current change (`spec/changes/.current`) when set; else the single active change; multiple without a pointer → ask which. None → report "nothing to stash".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kamioj/spec-workflow/spec-stash@sha256:5dacf73ccd5ed2e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.a57f970, 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.
