Understand how Spec Kitty missions work: the 4 built-in mission types, how they define workflows via step contracts and action indices, how missions and work packages relate, how templates are resolved through the 5-tier chain, and how doctrine artifacts (procedures, tactics, directives) compose mission behavior. Triggers: "what missions are available", "how do missions work", "which mission should I use", "explain the mission system", "what is a mission", "change the mission…

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-kitty-mission-system

Understand how missions structure work in Spec Kitty. A mission is a
domain-specific workflow blueprint that defines what phases you go through,
what templates agents see, what artifacts you produce, and how to validate
success.

---

## How Missions Work

### The Core Concept

A mission answers: "What process should we follow to achieve this goal?"

Different goals need different processes. Building a software component is
different from conducting research or writing documentation. Each mission
provides domain-appropriate:

- **Steps** — the ordered phases of work (specify → plan → implement → review)
- **Templates** — prompts that tell agents what to do at each step
- **Artifacts** — expected outputs (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md)
- **Guards** — conditions that must be met before advancing (e.g., spec.md must exist before planning)
- **Validation** — checks that verify the output quality
- **Agent context** — personality and instructions for the AI agent

### The Hierarchy: Mission Type → Mission → Work Package → Workspace

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wildcard/caro/spec-kitty-mission-system@sha256:b0172954384382df

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.b2f2f5b, 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.
