implement-spec SKILL.md skillA

implement-spec from dzhng/duet-agent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dzhng/duet-agent/implement-spec@git:20261021.e955131

Pins git:20261021.e955131 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Implement an existing spec through committed passes. Use for long or multi-pass specs that need maintenance checkpoints to periodically clean code, handoffs, priorities, and plan bloat before drift accumulates.

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

# Implement Spec

Build the active spec to completion, one reviewable pass at a time. The spec is
the implementation plan; user constraints and accepted experimental evidence
remain binding when the architecture changes.

A pass (usually one slice) is a **commit checkpoint, not a stopping point.** The
job is the whole spec — every slice, every global TODO — not the first green
commit. Finishing a pass means starting the next one, not handing back to the
user. Only stop when the spec is fully implemented (or a genuine blocker needs a
decision only the user can make).

**Work in parallel wherever the graph allows.** Do not walk the ladder one slice
at a time when slices are independent. Read the spec's dependency graph as a
wavefront and **delegate independent passes to subagents that run concurrently**
(see Rules) — you orchestrate and integrate; only serialize what genuinely
depends on prior work.

## Workflow

1. Read the repo README, the spec README, and the next slice before editing.
   Load any skills named by the spec. Identify the current pickup point, global
   TODOs, required gates, and what must stay green. If a multi-slice spec lacks
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dzhng/duet-agent/implement-spec@sha256:c13d61e6c280bb6a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.e955131, 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.
