Applies repository-specific technical-specification standards to design and specification documents. Use this skill when drafting, editing, or reorganizing a technical specification.
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 ## Discover the Specification Contract Before editing, find and read the repository's agent instructions, source-of-truth hierarchy, specification index, authoring and Markdown standards, identifier or domain registry, templates, lint configuration, and representative nearby specifications. Treat repository rules as authoritative over this skill's general guidance. Determine the following without assuming fixed names or locations: - Canonical and draft specification roots. - Specification identifier, anchor, heading, and numbering rules. - Allowed item kinds and required contract subsections. - Requirements-to-specification responsibility boundaries. - Traceability placement and link format. - Rules for algorithms, examples, language references, diagrams, and inline HTML. - Formatting, validation, and repository task-runner commands. Do not copy identifier prefixes, anchor formats, heading shapes, or directory layouts from another repository. Ask for direction when source documents conflict or when the user has not authorized a required update to a higher-priority artifact. ## Write an Implementable Specification …

How to install
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/spec-authoring@sha256:a5eb64877c680326The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.eb38ca7, 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.
