Bootstrap or audit a Markdown structural-discipline scaffold for long-running product work, including GDD coverage, progress, questions, follow-ups, dependencies, and playtest gates. Use when starting a project that needs durable agent state or auditing an existing repository for scaffold drift.

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

# Spiral

The methodology for sustaining a multi-week autonomous PR loop without the agent losing context, running out of work prematurely, or accumulating debt.

The agent does not remember the project. The project remembers itself. Every kind of state lives in git-tracked ledger files with rigid templates. The agent's job collapses to: read ledgers, pick the next slice, run the loop, update ledgers. Every iteration returns to the same artifacts and finds them advanced. The shape is not a loop, it is a spiral: forward-while-circling.

## When to invoke

- **Initialize:** at the start of a fresh project, write the canonical scaffold into the current repository.
- **Audit:** on an existing project, diff the repository against the canonical structure and print a remediation checklist.

Per-slice execution is the job of `randroid-loop`. Per-task tracking is the job of `task-tracking-dots`. This skill is the substrate those two run against.

## Why this exists: the three case studies

Three multi-week autonomous-loop projects produced three outcomes. The pattern is in `docs/case-studies.md`. The short version:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add randroids-dojo/skills/spiral@sha256:51ffb196ae4176ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.a009b78, 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.
