Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.

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

> **Workflow requirement (Smith 20+):** This skill must be invoked from inside an active top-level workflow (`/smith-new`, `/smith-bugfix`, `/smith-debug`, `/smith-build`). The workflow-gate hook will block standalone invocation. To use this skill standalone, start a top-level workflow first.

## Vault Logging

Throughout this action, log significant events to the vault session log. Read the session log path from `.smith/vault/.current-session`. If the file is missing or the vault is not initialized, skip all logging silently.

**Timestamps are UTC.** `HH:MM:SS` comes from `date -u +%H:%M:%S` — never a local clock, never a time from memory. The append already runs through a shell, so read the clock in that same command (`TS=$(date -u +%H:%M:%S)`) and spend no extra tool call. Substitute the resulting value: an unexpanded `$(...)` reaching the log is a known regression and will not parse. Every hook-written stamp in this log is `date -u`, so a local-clock entry lands hours away from its neighbours and skews the workflow window `hooks/workflow_summary_lib.py` derives from them.

Append entries using this format:

```
### [HH:MM:SS] /smith-specify <event>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add attckdigital/smith/smith-specify@sha256:69eaa372182875ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.37b24fb, 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.
