openspec-generate-specs SKILL.md skillA
openspec-generate-specs from jim60105/copilot-prompt is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jim60105/copilot-prompt/openspec-generate-specs@git:20260525.d5d181cPins git:20260525.d5d181c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate comprehensive OpenSpec specifications directly from the current project state. Use when the user wants to create or populate main specs by analyzing existing code, documentation, AGENTS.md, GitHub issues, and pull requests — without going through the change/proposal workflow. Ideal for bootstrapping specs on a project that already has working code but no specs yet, or for refreshing specs to match the current implementation.
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
Generate OpenSpec main specifications by analyzing the current project's code, documentation, issues, and pull requests.
Unlike `openspec-propose` (which creates a change with proposal/design/tasks artifacts for **future** work), this skill writes finished specs directly to `openspec/specs/` based on **what already exists** in the project.
**Input**: Optionally specify which capabilities or areas to generate specs for. If omitted, analyze the full project and determine capabilities automatically.
**Steps**
1. **Gather project context**
Collect information from all available sources. Prioritize breadth over depth — skim first, then deep-dive into relevant areas.
a. **Project documentation**:
- Read `AGENTS.md` (or `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `README.md`) for architecture overview, conventions, and design decisions
- Read `docs/` directory for feature specs, design docs, BDD features (`.feature` files)
- Read `openspec/config.yaml` for project context and rules
b. **Codebase structure**:
- Scan `src/` directory tree to understand module organization
- Read key files (entry points, type definitions, core modules) to understand capabilities

How to install
mdr add jim60105/copilot-prompt/openspec-generate-specs@sha256:2addb8f24835f6a1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260525.d5d181c, 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.
