Create or update a structured solution specification with explicit requirements, interfaces, acceptance criteria, and preserved document identity.
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
# Specification Authoring ## Select the mode from the request - **Create:** obtain the purpose, scope, source requirements, and repository destination. Create a new specification only after checking that an equivalent one does not already exist. Ask for missing purpose or requirements rather than inventing them. - **Update:** read the supplied existing specification and the requested change or code evidence first. Preserve its path, requirement IDs, `date_created`, ownership, and still-valid requirements. Apply a bounded revision, update `last_updated` and the version under the repository's convention, and summarize changed requirements and affected acceptance criteria. Do not rename an existing specification merely to match the create-mode convention. - If the request does not establish a mode or target, ask for that missing input before writing. Read repository instructions and nearby specifications before either mode. Distinguish confirmed requirements from proposals and unresolved questions. Do not turn template examples into invented project facts. …

How to install
mdr add okhp3/skillz/specification-authoring@sha256:7eda833158f62495The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
