Use when writing or editing OpenSpec specs — guides Gherkin-style GIVEN/WHEN/THEN scenarios in the domain's business language.
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
# Gherkin Specs ## Overview Write domain specifications using Gherkin-style scenarios. Each scenario describes one behavior from the user's perspective, using the domain's business language. ## When to Use - During the **propose** phase, when writing `specs/` - Editing existing specs in `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` - Adding scenarios for edge cases or new requirements Do NOT use for implementation details, technical design, or test code. Specs describe **WHAT** the system does, not **HOW**. ## Format ```markdown ### Requirement: <name> <Business description in domain language> #### Scenario: <name> - **GIVEN** <precondition / initial state> - **WHEN** <action / trigger> - **THEN** <expected outcome> - **AND** <additional outcomes> (optional) ``` ## Conventions - **Domain language**: use the business terms defined in `AGENTS.md`; do not introduce synonyms. - **No implementation terms**: avoid class names, layers, endpoints or data structures. - **One behavior per scenario**: do not test several variants in the same scenario. - **GIVEN is mandatory**: every scenario needs an explicit initial state. …

How to install
mdr add cedaniel200/atlas-template/gherkin-specs@sha256:2e568fa6f5abeffdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.fc9830a, 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.
