Turns a selected SpecPi capability-gap wishlist item into a minimal, evidence-backed, reversible improvement. Use when the user asks to improve SpecPi from its wishlist, act on a selected gap, or complete the notice-to-retire loop.

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

# SpecPi Improve

Improve the harness through an explicit experiment, never through quiet self-modification.

## Preconditions

1. Begin through `/harness-improvement`. Its menu exposes qualified and review-needed items, records the chosen item as selected, and starts this workflow.
2. Treat that exact menu choice as approval for the smallest sufficient implementation of that item. Ask again only if scope expands or external/remote state would change.
3. Treat wishlist summaries as leads, not proof. Inspect the current repository, tools, docs, tests, and runtime behavior before designing a change.
4. Do not inspect Pi credentials, trust decisions, sessions, history, missions, or unrelated private state.

## Improvement card

Before editing, present one compact card:

- **Gap ID and evidence:** occurrences, reach, impact, and representative sanitized needs.
- **Smallest intervention:** choose among bug fix, config, prompt, skill, or tool; prefer the least powerful sufficient option.
- **Hypothesis:** what friction the change should remove.
- **Acceptance check:** direct behavior that proves the capability works.
- **Rollback:** how the change can be removed or reverted cleanly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tannermidd/specpi/specpi-improve@sha256:69d0a16d0c0b2fbb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.7ded632, 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.
