Use when a user or project explicitly adopts OpenSpec spec-as-source, fenced Gherkin specifications as executable acceptance tests, or acceptance-test-first OpenSpec tasks.
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 As Source ## Overview Use OpenSpec `spec.md` files as the executable source of truth. When this skill is active, fenced-Gherkin authoring, acceptance-first task ordering, spec-first implementation, and BDD zone isolation are one workflow. **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use `gherkin-authoring` when drafting or modifying fenced Gherkin. **REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use `acceptance-test-authoring` when configuring or modifying the acceptance runner, extractor, linting, step definitions, or page objects. ## Activation This workflow is opt-in. Apply it only when the user or project instructions explicitly require `spec-as-source`. Once active, the BDD zone rules below are mandatory. Do not activate or disable zone isolation separately. ## Artifact References - When this skill is active, its artifact references override the corresponding templates from the configured OpenSpec schema. - Draft each `spec.md` from [references/spec.md](references/spec.md), not from `openspec/schemas/intent-driven/templates/spec.md`. - Draft `tasks.md` from [references/tasks.md](references/tasks.md), not from the schema task template, preserving acceptance-test-first ordering. ## BDD Zone Rules …

How to install
mdr add intent-driven-dev/intent-driven-template/spec-as-source@sha256:6d3cd7d210ddf307The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.b5bda46, 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.
