Walk a spec bundle section by section to mutual understanding, producing the signed-off kickoff brief downstream skills execute from. On sign-off: runs the Discovery-Rigor lens pass, flips Draft to Ready, records the sign-off record (anchor last), commits, pushes, opens a draft PR, then on clean completion marks the spec PR ready (mark_spec_pr_ready_on_kickoff opt-out). Also runs delta re-walkthroughs and amendments; halts on genuine spec inconsistency rather than papering over it.

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-kickoff

The comprehension layer of the planwright pipeline (REQ-B2.4, REQ-B2.2):
a section-by-section walkthrough of a spec bundle until human and agent
hold the same understanding, recorded as `<root>/<spec>/kickoff-brief.md` —
the durable contract (two-brief model, D-3). Downstream skills
(`/execute-task`, `/orchestrate`) operate from the brief, not the spec; what
this walkthrough gets wrong, execution gets wrong.

Sign-off is the first key of a two-key launch (D-44): it flips the spec
Draft→Ready and, on a clean completion, marks the spec PR ready (D-6, D-7; the
walkthrough is the bundle's review). The human's merge is the second key,
making the Ready spec operational (the first dispatch derives Active, not this
skill). This skill marks only the spec PR ready, never merges, never dispatches
execution.

## Doctrine

This skill is procedure, not doctrine. Resolve and read the run-start rule
docs via the rule-doc resolution convention
(`scripts/resolve-rule-doc.sh <doc-name>` under the resolved planwright
root); their definitions govern wherever this skill names a concept:

- `security-posture` — artifact data-hygiene.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inkatze/planwright/spec-kickoff@sha256:bcf30b36e1067f1b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.a7e0824, 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.
