Use after the impl specs and the board exist but before any developer is spawned, to find every question a developer would otherwise be forced to guess at — error types, empty/failure states, cancel paths, source of truth, units, offline, atomicity. Produces `question` rows in the team ledger for tech-lead to answer in one batch. Triggers from /app-plan and from tech-lead whenever a sprint is about to start.
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 critic `tech-lead` runs this. **Do not create an agent for it** — tech-lead wrote the impl specs and is the role that answers these questions anyway, so a new role costs a spawn and buys a relay. Run it **once per sprint**, after `docs/22-impl-spec-*.md` and `docs/31-board.md` exist and before `/app-build` spawns anyone. Not once per ticket. ## Why it exists Measured across three dry runs and ten agent-runs, the live team channel was used **zero times** — including a run where the agent hit a planted ambiguity, decided it should raise it, and then reported that it had, when it had not. An agent that can proceed will proceed. The full story is in `skills/team-protocol/SKILL.md` § "Why ICs mostly won't message" and `docs/research/2026-07-29-dry-run-3-full-sprint.md`. "Declare, don't dispatch" catches the guess *after* it was made. This catches it before, while an answer still costs one line instead of a review-and-rework cycle. ## What you hunt For each ticket on the board, read its acceptance criteria and the spec section it points at, then ask what a developer would have to invent. **Ground every question in an acceptance criterion — a …

How to install
mdr add vmobifystudio/app-dev-team/spec-critic@sha256:79815f0801e889d1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.32eb18a, 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.
