Turn the active ticket's SPEC.md into a technical design and an executable task list — produce PLAN.md (design narrative plus a ## Tasks checklist) and harden the shared constitution.md. The ## Tasks section is a flat, ordered checklist executed sequentially by tiny-spec-build. Can draft in plan mode and write nothing until the user approves (tiny-spec-run asks for this in a supervised run). Re-run in update mode to reconcile it after a SPEC change.

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

# tiny-spec-plan

Decides **how** the requirements get built, slices that into the tasks that build it,
and — just as important — hardens the **constitution** (`constitution.md`) that every
task will be implemented and reviewed against.

It writes **one file**, `PLAN.md`: the design narrative, ending in a `## Tasks`
section — the flat checklist `tiny-spec-build` executes and ticks. Design and checklist
go stale together, so they share one `status:` flag, and this skill is the only one that
sets it. `tiny-spec-build` touches nothing in the file but the checkboxes and `updated:`.

Artifacts live under `.spec/`: the **shared** constitution at the root
(`.spec/constitution.md`), the per-ticket `SPEC.md`/`PLAN.md` under
`.spec/<slug>/`. Both skeletons are inline below — write them from there, no file to
read. Requires `.spec/<active>/SPEC.md`.

**Resolve the active ticket dir**, in order: the `.spec/<slug>/` whose slug matches the
current git branch (one branch per ticket); else the sole ticket dir if exactly one
exists; else ask. **Ask instead** when more than one dir matches the branch, or when
ticket dirs exist while you are on `main`/`master` with no name match — neither has a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add grayma77er/tiny-spec/tiny-spec-plan@sha256:2add10dec017d6a4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.7e4496a, 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.
