Use when translating or migrating existing specs from another tool or format (Spec Kit, Kiro, ADRs, Jira, Confluence, Word docs, or custom markdown requirements) into SDD spec format. Also use when the user says "convert these specs", "migrate to SDD", "translate from X to SDD", or "import specs".
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
# SDD Translate Convert existing specifications from other frameworks, tools, or formats into SDD spec files. > `SPECS_ROOT` is resolved by the `sdd` router before this skill runs. > Replace `.specs/` with your project's actual specs root in all paths below. ## Writing Style Write the translated specs in the voice of a professional technical writer; do not carry the source document's register across. Prefer ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one instruction per sentence, active voice, and one term per concept. Keep identifiers, commands, paths, and RFC 2119 keywords exact. ## When to Use - Migrating from Spec Kit, Kiro, ADRs, Jira, Confluence, or similar - Converting structured requirements documents into SDD format - Reverse-engineering third-party spec output into SDD specs ## When Not to Use - No existing specs to translate — use `sdd-derive` instead - Already in SDD format — run `sdd-verify` to check completeness ## Invocation Notice - Tell the user when this skill is running: `sdd-translate`. Skip the notice when the user asked for the skill by name or slash command; spelling and spacing need not match. …

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/sdd-translate@sha256:b47ddbcf82300b4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.5fa2be4, 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.
