Run an approved Spec-backed Plan (design.md and plan.json both present) unattended to a draft PR: implement and review each batch with fresh subagents, commit, then finish with one whole-branch review. Use when the user says "run it to the end" or "implement everything and open a PR".
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 Loop
Drive an approved Spec-backed Plan to a draft PR without stopping for the human. The main agent
only drives; fresh subagents implement and review. Never run `code-review rs` in this loop.
**Announce at start:** "I'm using the spec-loop skill to run this plan to a draft PR."
This skill makes no design decisions. A finding or blocker that needs a plan change goes back to
`spec-plan`; a design change goes back to `spec-brainstorm`.
## Start
Runs on every invocation, including a resume.
1. If `design.md` or `plan.json` is missing, stop and use spec-implement. Otherwise follow
**spec-implement** Prerequisites and "Load and Review the Plan" while the human is present.
2. Stop if the tree is dirty or the test suite is not green.
3. Ask one authorization question naming each action. The answer is the explicit authorization
**code-commit** and **code-pull-request** require.
- commit after every batch and after the final fix
- push to `<remote>/<branch>`, without force
- open a **draft** PR with code-pull-request's Create flow
- budget: at most N batches (plan task count / 3, rounded up, plus 1); stop when the same task
or test fails twice

How to install
mdr add martinffx/atelier/spec-loop@sha256:9874d225914e51f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.7301061, 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.
