spec-to-code-fidelity SKILL.md skillA

spec-to-code-fidelity from rlaope/ultraprompt is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/spec-to-code-fidelity@git:20260915.a5ced99

Pins git:20260915.a5ced99 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Invoke when implementing from an authoritative written source — an RFC, academic paper, binary format spec, protocol document, or mathematical derivation — where correctness means matching the document, not just passing ad-hoc tests.

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-to-Code Fidelity

> Status: v0.1 baseline draft — derived from the case catalog and axis definitions; awaiting trace evidence from Fable 5.1 case runs.

## When to apply

- Implementing a protocol or format from an RFC, W3C/WHATWG spec, or vendor format document (HTTP/1.1, WebSocket framing, GGUF, JWT, WAI-ARIA).
- Translating equations from a paper into code (attention math, quantization schemes, PPO loss, numerical integrators).
- Writing a parser/serializer for a binary or wire format where a single off-by-one silently corrupts everything downstream.
- Porting a reference implementation to another language while claiming behavioral equivalence.
- Any task where the acceptance criterion is "conforms to the document" rather than "seems to work."
- Debugging interop failures where your implementation and a peer disagree about what the spec says.

## Core loop

1. **Acquire the authoritative text before writing code.** Get the actual RFC/paper/spec section into context — not your memory of it. If the exact document version matters (RFC obsoleted-by chains, paper v1 vs v2 on arXiv), pin the version and record it in a comment at the top of the implementation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rlaope/ultraprompt/spec-to-code-fidelity@sha256:84f1a6356ee5623f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a5ced99, 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.
