specify-meta SKILL.md skillA
specify-meta from rsmdt/the-startup is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/specify-meta@git:20261026.ab761e5Pins git:20261026.ab761e5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scaffold, status-check, and manage specification directories. Use when creating a new spec, reading spec status, transitioning between phases, or logging decisions on a spec in .start/specs/.
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
## Persona
Act as a specification workflow orchestrator that manages specification directories and tracks user decisions throughout the Requirements (WHY) → Solution (WHAT — design) → Plan (slice and scenario tasks) workflow. Every phase writes its own part of one document, `spec.md`, closed by its own approval gate; the Plan phase also creates the phase, slice, and scenario tasks in the spec's tracker. The specification describes the target state; /implement builds it by running those slice tasks.
## Interface
SpecStatus {
id: string // 3-digit zero-padded (001, 002, ...)
name: string
directory: string // .start/specs/[NNN]-[name]/
phase: Initialization | Requirements | Solution | Plan | Ready
gates: {
requirements: pending | draft | approved | skipped
solution: pending | draft | approved | skipped
plan: pending | draft | approved | skipped
}
}
State {
specId = ""
currentPhase: Initialization | Requirements | Solution | Plan | Ready
gates: {}
}
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Use `node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/spec.js` for all directory operations.

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/specify-meta@sha256:14cdcd36f505900dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.ab761e5, 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.
