create-specification SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
create-specification from github/awesome-copilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/create-specification@git:20260807.4214189Pins git:20260807.4214189 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create a new specification file for the solution, optimized for Generative AI consumption.
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
# Create Specification
Your goal is to create a new specification file for `${input:SpecPurpose}`.
The specification file must define the requirements, constraints, and interfaces for the solution components in a manner that is clear, unambiguous, and structured for effective use by Generative AIs. Follow established documentation standards and ensure the content is machine-readable and self-contained.
## Best Practices for AI-Ready Specifications
- Use precise, explicit, and unambiguous language.
- Clearly distinguish between requirements, constraints, and recommendations.
- Use structured formatting (headings, lists, tables) for easy parsing.
- Avoid idioms, metaphors, or context-dependent references.
- Define all acronyms and domain-specific terms.
- Include examples and edge cases where applicable.
- Ensure the document is self-contained and does not rely on external context.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/create-specification@sha256:0de8583934fbcb7aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.4214189, 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.
