Installs the Codex-side SDD agent TOML files from the plugin bundle, reminds the user to trust hooks, and verifies that the SDD gates bite after plugin install.

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

# $spec-setup

## Purpose

Run this once after installing the `sdd` Codex plugin. Codex plugins can bundle skills
and hooks, but there is no official bundled mechanism for `agents/*.toml`, so this skill
guides the agent TOML copy step.

The spawn-heavy skills (`$spec-apply` / `$spec-verify`) also run a freshness pre-check at
point of use — a stale or missing agent definition is detected and synced (or loudly
escalated) before any spawn. This skill remains the first-install path and the place
where hook trust + gate verification are walked through.

## Agent TOML install

Source files live in the installed plugin at:

```text
${PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/*.toml
```

Destination:

```text
~/.codex/agents/
```

Process:

1. Resolve `${PLUGIN_ROOT}` to the installed `sdd` plugin root. If it is not available in
   the current execution environment, stop and report that exact observation instead of
   guessing a path.
2. Create `~/.codex/agents/` if it does not exist.
3. For each `${PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/*.toml`:
   - If the destination file does not exist, copy it.
   - If the destination file exists and is byte-identical, leave it as-is and report it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kamioj/spec-workflow/spec-setup@sha256:7cfcf4fde4606caa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.7dbcf3a, 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.
