Use when onboarding to an existing or legacy codebase that needs a grounded stack, dependency and risk report.

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

# specclaw bf-analyze

**First, run** `specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw` — idempotently creates `.specclaw/` if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name).

Analyze an existing codebase and write `.specclaw/analysis/codebase-report.md`. Read-only side-command — no `specclaw-validate-change` call, no `<change>` involved, matching the `patterns`/`status` pattern.

1. **Resolve and collect:**
   ```bash
   mkdir -p .specclaw/analysis/.collect
   specclaw-bf-analyze-codebase collect .specclaw [path] > .specclaw/analysis/.collect/analyze.json
   ```
   `[path]` defaults to the repository root when omitted. The script itself validates that `[path]` exists, resolves inside the repository, and is not `.specclaw` itself or nested inside it. **Check the exit status before spawning.** If it exits non-zero, surface its stderr message to the user verbatim and stop — don't retry, don't guess a different path, and never hand the agent a path to a half-written file.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/bf-analyze@sha256:8f2140e39da3ad71

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.6b78134, 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.
