Plans a feature or change through a clarifying interview, producing spec deltas, plan.md, and decision-log.md with adversarial review. Use to plan, spec, design, or scope a feature, change, removal, refactor, or fix, before any implementation.

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 Planner (Orchestrator)

This skill is a thin orchestrator. It runs the clarifying interview, collects context, and delegates the planning work (spec delta authoring, test mapping, task decomposition) to `planner-agent`.

## Required Skills (for the orchestrator)

Invoke before starting:
- `/speq-cli`: spec discovery

`planner-agent` and `plan-reviewer` invoke their own required skills.

## Workflow

### 0. Load Project Hook (orchestrator)

Check for `.speq/plan-hook.md` in the repo root.
- **Present:** read it. Announce "Loaded project hook: .speq/plan-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.

### 1. Discovery (orchestrator)

Run the speq CLI:

```bash
speq domain list
speq feature list
grep -rhE -A3 '^## ADR:|^\*\*(ID|Status):\*\*' specs/_decision/ 2>/dev/null || echo none   # ADR digest, per /speq-cli
```

Name the features in the list that relate to the request, per `/speq-cli`'s absence check.

Note whether `specs/architecture.md` exists. Pass its path, do not read it.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marconae/speq-skill/speq-plan@sha256:eba562aff04b7811

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.02530fa, 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.
