save-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.

save-spec from pitimon/8-habit-ai-dev is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Scaffold a project-root SPEC.md digest following the spec-digest-pattern archetype. User-invoked. Phase 1 minimum viable — generator only; refuses to overwrite an existing SPEC.md. Use AFTER deciding the repo fits the project-orientation hub deployment mode (not feature-spec mode). Maps to H8 (Find Your Voice — pick the deployment mode that fits your repo) + H2 (Begin with End in Mind — establish the save point on day 1).

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

# Scaffold Project SPEC.md (`/save-spec`)

**Habits**: H8 (Find Your Voice — pick the deployment mode that fits your repo) + H2 (Begin with End in Mind — establish the save point on day 1) | **Anti-pattern**: Copying the SPEC.md template by hand every time you start a new operational repo, then forgetting to fill the timestamp.

## When to Use

- The repo fits the **project-orientation hub mode** (operational / infra / integration / single-system) — not the per-feature `--persist <slug>` mode.
- You want a one-page digest at the project root that points to project-specific detail files and acts as the read-first save point after `/clear` or `/compact`.
- No `SPEC.md` exists yet at the project root.
- See `guides/spec-digest-pattern.md` for the full pattern. This skill scaffolds the file; the discipline of maintaining it is yours.

## When to Skip

- Repo uses the **feature-spec mode** (`docs/specs/<slug>/{prd,design,tasks,current-state}.md`). Use `/requirements --persist`, `/design --persist`, `/breakdown --persist` instead.
- `SPEC.md` already exists at the project root — Phase 1 is generator-only; edit it manually or wait for Phase 2 `--update`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pitimon/8-habit-ai-dev/save-spec@sha256:0c15e522180e53b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.ce92b6f, 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.
