Lint the project's specification docs (requirements / design / plan / task markdown): orphan specs, dead cross-doc links, index and naming drift, empty sections, stale TODOs, and — most importantly — reverse consistency between layers (design must cover its requirements, plans must cover their design). Auto-detects which spec-driven framework is in use — Kiro IDE, Superpowers, OpenSpec, GitHub spec-kit, BMad Method, GSD, or a generic default profile — and applies that profile's rules. Use when…
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-lint: Multi-Profile Specification Doc Health Check Lint specification markdown produced during a spec-driven workflow. The goal is a clean, navigable spec tree where: - A root index (or equivalent registry) lists every spec file. - Each layer is consistent with the layer above it (design covers requirements; plan covers design). - Cross-doc links resolve. - Naming, structure, and metadata follow the conventions of the toolkit in use. ## Supported Profiles Seven built-in profiles: | Profile | Root | Layer chain | |---|---|---| | `default` | `docs/specs/` (or `specs/`) | requirements → design → plan → tasks (checkboxes) | | `kiro` | `.kiro/specs/` | requirements/bugfix → design → tasks | | `superpowers` | `docs/superpowers/plans/` | inline per dated plan file: Goal → Approach → Tasks | | `openspec` | `openspec/` | spec + proposal → design → tasks → archive | | `spec-kit` | `specs/` | constitution → spec → plan + data-model → tasks | | `bmad` | `_bmad-output/` | PRD → architecture → epics/stories → sprint-status | | `gsd` | `.planning/` | REQUIREMENTS → ROADMAP → phase PLANs → VERIFICATION | …

How to install
mdr add kevinlin/skills/spec-lint@sha256:52efa70626d24c5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.1, 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.
