Drive the spec-driven lifecycle for any non-trivial work item: SPIDR-split a new spec into vertical slices, transition state markers (DRAFT → READY_FOR_REVIEW → READY_FOR_IMPLEMENTATION → IN_PROGRESS → REVIEWED → RECONCILED → DONE; also DEFERRED for parked slices with a stated resolution trigger), enforce the reconciliation checklist before commit, and surface stale specs/ADRs whose `last_verified` date has aged past dependency changes. Use when starting non-trivial new work, creating a spec…

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

> **Working posture ([ADR-0056](../../docs/decisions/adr-0056-adversarial-register-quarantine.md)).**
> Adversarial review is a *named, bounded operation.* This workflow invokes
> review passes (frame-critique / craft), whose skeptical register belongs
> *inside* those isolated reviewer subagents. Outside a review, default to
> collaborative and solution-forward; don't carry the adversarial stance into
> ordinary conversation.

> Spec 003 promoted this skill from stub to active. The deterministic state
> mutations live in `workflow.py`; this SKILL.md drives the judgment layer.

## What this skill does

- Guides SPIDR-splitting a new spec into vertical slices (Spike last, not first —
  try Rules / Data / Interface / Path first).
- Flags slices that look like horizontal phasing (no user-facing layer touched).
- Drives the spec lifecycle state transitions via `workflow.py`.
- Coordinates implementer + reviewer subagent invocations at the right points.
- Enforces the reconciliation checklist before a slice goes DONE.
- Consults `docs/memory/glossary.md` when drafting ACs to surface unknown domain terms.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ramboz/jig/spec-workflow@sha256:d53cc183bcf95618

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.1ccd3cd, 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.
