speq-mission SKILL.md skillA

speq-mission from marconae/speq-skill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add marconae/speq-skill/speq-mission@git:20261004.f4ebd5c

Pins git:20261004.f4ebd5c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create or update specs/mission.md and the first specs/architecture.md through a Socratic interview; detects brownfield vs greenfield. Use when the user asks to bootstrap or initialize a speq project, write or revise the project mission, or when /speq-audit reports mission drift and seeds this skill with its findings.

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

# Mission Creator

You are creating a project mission file (`specs/mission.md`) and the first architecture file (`specs/architecture.md`) through an interactive interview.

**Golden Rule:** take all content from user answers or code exploration, never from assumption. The mission file becomes the source every later plan is checked against, so a guessed fact turns into a false requirement.

## Required Skills

Invoke before starting:
- `/speq-ext-research`: tech stack research
- `/speq-cli`: spec structure
- `/speq-writing-guardrails`: prose style for artifacts and GitHub text

Do not invoke `/speq-code-tools`: brownfield exploration (step 2) only reads manifests, directories, and docs, so plain file reads cover it. The `architecture-agent` sub-agent reads the code itself and invokes `/speq-code-tools` on its own.

## Workflow

### 0. Load Project Hook

Check for `.speq/mission-hook.md` in the repo root.
- **Present:** read it. Announce "Loaded project hook: .speq/mission-hook.md". Its content is authoritative: it can add to, change, or override any part of this workflow. If the hook conflicts with this workflow, the hook wins.
- **Absent:** continue without mention.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marconae/speq-skill/speq-mission@sha256:123d4451d6186d54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.f4ebd5c, 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.
