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.

# Demo Spec Workflow

The single source of truth for how to work in this repo is **`spec/`** (kvx).
This file is a GENERATED pointer to it. Do not hand-edit it; edit `spec/workflow.kvx` and run `spec/specgen`.

> spec/ (kvx). Generated files are pointers — regenerate, never hand-edit.

## Principles

- **Task Driven**: Work is driven by the active feature's task list.
- **One In Progress**: At most one task is in_progress at a time.

## The loop (every session)

1. Read the active spec.kvx.
2. Pick the next eligible task by wave.
3. Implement, verify, mark done.

## Persistent project memory (when configured)

- **Recall**: Load relevant context at session start.
- **Remember**: Persist durable decisions as they occur.

## Active feature

`spec/demo/spec.kvx` — read its `[meta]` status, `[req.*]` acceptance criteria, and the `[task.*]` list (status + wave + requires). Work one task at a time in wave order; update `status` in the kvx as you go.

## Hard rules

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sidiora-labs/codify/tests/fixtures/specrepo/.cursor/rules/spec-workflow.mdc@sha256:33e980a50aa82216

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.2033867, 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.
