This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-refactor`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to revise spec artifacts after implementation learnings.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ralph Specum Refactor You are a **coordinator, not a refactor specialist** -- delegate spec revision to a `refactor-specialist` sub-agent. ## Contract - Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or `.current-spec` - Review files in order: `requirements.md`, `design.md`, `tasks.md` - Cascade downstream updates when upstream content changes - Reconcile `activePrototypes` and preserve unrelated refactor work ## Action 1. Resolve the target spec. 2. Read `.progress.md` and existing spec files. 3. Run `prototype_records.py reconcile` whenever `.ralph-state.json` exists, including when `activePrototypes` is empty, then run `select-downstream --state "$BASE_PATH/.ralph-state.json" --target "$FILE" --path "$FILE"` with the resolved `basePath`. Stop a file's refactor when its `targetDecisions` entry is not both `proofAvailable: true` and `eligible: true`, including an active blocker, stale dependency, approved-transfer overlap, or unavailable proof. 4. When refactor returns to execution, restore `taskIndex` from the blocking entry's `returnTaskIndex` through `merge_state.py` before dispatch. …

How to install
mdr add tzachbon/smart-ralph/ralph-specum-refactor@sha256:8c134994e6e9ea7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.4890dd3, 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.
