Scaffold a substantive human-readable design doc (spec / plan / ADR / report / PR explainer) as native HTML using the workspace's canonical Broomva dark theme. Implements P18 (Format-Follows-Audience) for Category-C native artifacts — distinct from `bookkeeping render`, which projects Category-B markdown canonicals to HTML. Use when: (1) drafting a substantive design doc a human will actually read (>100 lines OR contains tables/diagrams/decision matrices), (2) writing an ADR…
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
# make-spec — HTML design-doc scaffold (P18 Category-C) **One template + one theme + one filename convention — so the writer spends 100% of energy on substance, 0% on boilerplate.** ## Why this skill exists Since P18's promotion 2026-05-13, the workspace produces substantive design docs as native HTML rather than markdown: | Type | Location | Examples (last 7d) | |---|---|---| | Spec | `docs/specs/` | `2026-05-22-broker-selection-cross-asset.html`, `2026-05-23-life-houston-runtime-integration.html` | | Plan | `docs/plans/` | `2026-05-22-feature-flag-design.html`, `2026-05-22-houston-advanced-settings.html`, `2026-05-22-houston-developer-mode.html` | | Report | `docs/reports/` | `2026-05-22-houston-dogfood-pattern.html`, `2026-05-22-mission-control-vs-houston.html` | | ADR | `docs/adrs/` | (folder reserved; pattern proven via broker-selection ADR in `docs/specs/`) | | PR explainer | `docs/pr-explainers/PR-<n>.html` | (P18-reserved path) | All 7 hand-rolled HTMLs above share the same 70-line CSS preamble: `--bg #0e1116`, `--ink #e7ecf2`, `--accent #7ec4ff`, `--accent-2 #b58cff`, h1-h4 with identical sizes/margins/colors, table with hover, callout …

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/make-spec@sha256:bb86e24671fbb766The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.b709d10, 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.
