This skill should be used only when the user explicitly asks to use `$ralph-specum-switch`, or explicitly asks Ralph Specum in Codex to switch the active spec.
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
# Ralph Specum Switch Use this to switch the active spec. Derive `RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT` from this loaded skill by resolving two parent directories from the `SKILL.md` directory. Never derive it from the project working directory. ## Contract - Read `.claude/ralph-specum.local.md` when present - Parse `specs_dirs` from frontmatter to discover all spec roots - Treat the first `specs_dirs` entry as the default root - Default specs root is `./specs` - `.current-spec` lives in the default specs root - Do not guess on ambiguous names ## Action 1. Resolve the requested target by full path or exact name. 2. If no target was provided, list available specs grouped by root. 3. If the name is ambiguous across roots, stop and require a full path. 4. Update `.current-spec`: - bare name for the default root - full path for non-default roots 5. Read the target spec state and summarize phase, progress, approval state, and present files. 6. Report prototype dependencies without mutating them: - Treat a missing `activePrototypes` field as an empty map. …

How to install
mdr add tzachbon/smart-ralph/ralph-specum-switch@sha256:483f361dffcaf233The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.4890dd3, 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.
