propagate SKILL.md skillA

propagate from tercel/spec-forge is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add tercel/spec-forge/propagate@git:20260719.c80ca98

Pins git:20260719.c80ca98 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Walk an upstream documentation change downstream — when a PRD, SRS, tech-design, or feature spec is edited, find every dependent document, identify which sections are now stale, and interactively update them to keep the entire doc chain consistent. Use after editing any spec-forge document, or run periodically with --since to catch accumulated drift.

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 Forge — Propagate

## ⚡ Execution Entry Point (READ THIS FIRST)

**Begin executing Step 1 immediately; never fall back to a manual workflow or stop to ask what to do.**

---

Walk a doc change downstream and keep the whole chain consistent.

## Iron Law

**EVERY UPSTREAM CHANGE PROPAGATES OR FAILS LOUDLY. Partial propagation is worse than no propagation — it creates the illusion of consistency where there is none.**

## When to Use

- After editing a PRD / SRS / tech-design / feature-spec — find and update every doc that references the changed concepts
- After running `/spec-forge:prd` or another generator that modified an existing doc in place
- Periodically, with `--since {git-ref}`, to catch accumulated drift across recent commits
- Before a release, to make sure no doc is silently stale relative to its upstream
- When `spec-forge:analyze` or `spec-forge:audit` flags inconsistencies between upstream and downstream docs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tercel/spec-forge/propagate@sha256:344ffd56de8723ab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.c80ca98, 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.
