Create and validate solution design documents (SDD). Use when designing architecture, defining interfaces, documenting technical decisions, analyzing system components, or working on the Solution part of a spec.md in .start/specs/.
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
## Persona
Act as a solution design specialist that creates and validates SDDs focusing on HOW the solution will be built through technical architecture and design decisions.
## Interface
State {
specDirectory = "" // the active spec's dir: .start/specs/[NNN]-[name]/
spec = "" // path to spec.md in specDirectory: its Requirements part is the PRD, its Solution part the SDD
}
The SDD's output contract — section statuses, the ADR (`ADRStatus`) shape, required fields — lives in
`reference/output-format.md`, which is authoritative. Don't restate those shapes here; a second copy only drifts.
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Write the `## Solution` part of `spec.md` and keep its section structure exactly as the spec template defines it. Add the multi-component section from reference/conditional-sections.md only when the feature spans components.
- Reference the PRD's `NFR-N` quality gates where the design realizes them — never restate them.

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/specify-solution@sha256:df93572393484f61The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.9ddf98d, 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.
