Spec quality gate: an independent review of planning documents before any code is written. Runs on BRIEF.md (after vibe-brainstorm), AGENT_ARCH.md (after vibe-agent), ARCHITECTURE.md (after vibe-architect), SPEC.md (after vibe-new-app / vibe-init) and FEATURE_SPEC/PLAN/TASKS (after vibe-add-feature). The agent that wrote the documents never judges them: vibe-goldfish sends fresh read-only subagents that never saw the conversation to check them against the vibe rubrics, for comprehension…
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
# Vibe Spec Review Skill Checks every planning document before a line of code is written, for gaps, contradictions, untestable criteria and missing boundaries that would cause failures, confusion or rework during the build. > **Autonomous / headless mode.** At startup resolve the settings with > `python3 ~/.claude/skills/vibe-mode/scripts/vibe_state.py mode` (`mode --run` when > entered from `vibe-mode: run`). If `vibe_mode` is `autonomous`, nothing here waits for > the user: vibe-goldfish applies fixes and records answers on its own (its Step 6), and > stops, writing `vibe/.run_state.json`, only when a person is required. A bad spec is the most expensive bug in software. This skill finds it before it costs anything. --- ## The principle The O'Reilly northstar is clear: "Most agent files fail because they're too vague." Vague specs produce vague code. Untestable criteria produce unverifiable builds. Missing boundaries produce agents that go off-script at the worst moment. This skill asks: **if an agent read only these documents, would it build the right thing?** The only honest way to answer that is to give the documents to an agent that …

How to install
mdr add aakashdhar/vibe-skill/vibe-spec-review@sha256:7503776687a1943cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.c951717, 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.
