create-task-spec SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

create-task-spec from arasz/ai-badger is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/create-task-spec@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a feature idea needs to become an exact, agreed specification before anyone builds it — "spec this out", "create a task spec", "turn this idea into requirements", "what exactly should we build". Interrogates the person for what they know instead of proposing content for them to approve, using Gherkin's own grammar to decide which questions must be asked and when the document is complete. Emits a .feature behavioural contract plus a spec.json manifest that the task skill consumes.

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

# create-task-spec

Turns a rough idea into a specification by **asking**, not by drafting. The person supplies the
knowledge; this skill supplies the structure and the refusal to guess.

The structure is Gherkin. That is not a formatting choice — the grammar decides which questions
get asked and when the interview is over. Every required slot that is empty is a question. Every
rule with no example is a hole a script can point at. The loop stops when the document is
structurally complete, not when the conversation has gone on long enough.

## The contract

**Never assume.** Every gap in the idea becomes a question. If you catch yourself thinking
"probably", "presumably", or "the usual way" — that thought is a question to ask, not a decision
to make.

**Propose options, never content.** A person shown six plausible rules stops generating a seventh
and starts editing someone else's list, and the spec ends up encoding your guesses under their
name. When they genuinely cannot answer without seeing the shape of a choice, offer two or three
alternatives with trade-offs and a recommendation — and let them pick. A recommendation is never
silently applied.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/create-task-spec@sha256:def51c6e354a3390

The 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.
