Professional specification system for Codex. Use when the user asks to create, improve, review, audit, analyze, or propagate product/software documentation, including requirements documents to hand to an implementation team or vendor, SRS/functional/non-functional requirements, PRDs and business cases, ideas, technical designs, architecture/RFC docs, feature specs, test cases, documentation audits, document landscape analysis, and full idea-to-spec chains. The chain's spine is a delivery-grade…

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

# Spec-Forge Orchestrator

Spec-forge is a documentation and specification workflow suite. This root skill is
the Codex-facing orchestrator: decide which child skill to load, keep the document
chain coherent, and avoid loading large generation references until they are needed.

## Trigger Patterns

Use this skill when the user asks for any of the following:

- Start or refine an idea before specs: use `skills/idea/SKILL.md`
- Split a large project into sub-features: use `skills/decompose/SKILL.md`
- Write a PRD, business case, or product definition — "is this worth building": use `skills/prd-generation/SKILL.md`
- Write the requirements a team will be held to — a requirements spec, an SRS, functional/non-functional requirements, **a requirements document to hand to an implementation team or vendor**: use `skills/srs-generation/SKILL.md`
- Write a technical design, architecture doc, design doc, or RFC: use `skills/tech-design-generation/SKILL.md`
- Generate test cases, QA coverage, or a test case matrix: use `skills/test-cases-generation/SKILL.md`
- Review spec-forge documents for quality and consistency: use `skills/review/SKILL.md`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tercel/spec-forge/spec-forge@sha256:8d82e0dde5695c25

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, 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.
