Write OpenSpec design.md and tasks.md artifacts. TRIGGER when: producing a technical design or task checklist for a spec-driven feature. SKIP: writing proposal.md (use spec-research); executing tasks.md (use spec-develop).
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
# OpenSpec Design & Tasks Writing
Guide for creating `design.md` (WHAT + HOW) and `tasks.md` (implementation checklist).
## Prerequisite
Read `{specs_path}/proposal.md` first. Reference its capabilities and impact sections.
**Path Enforcement**: The `specs_path` MUST be `.scaffolding/conversations/{UUID}/specs/` where `{UUID}` is a valid UUID (format: `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx`). NEVER use descriptive folder names.
`.scaffolding/conversations/` is a symlink to `<share>/projects/<repo-name>/conversations` (paths below are unchanged; always go through the symlink).
## design.md
### Output Path
Write to: `{specs_path}/design.md`
### Required Sections
| Section | Purpose | Format |
|---------|---------|--------|
| **Context** | Background, current state, constraints | Prose |
| **Goals / Non-Goals** | Scope boundaries | Bullet lists |
| **Specifications** | Requirements + scenarios | GIVEN/WHEN/THEN |
| **Decisions** | Technical choices + rationale | Decision: Why X over Y |
| **Risks / Trade-offs** | Known limitations | [Risk] -> Mitigation |
| **Migration Plan** | Deploy + rollback steps | Checklist (if applicable) |

How to install
mdr add komluk/scaffolding/spec-design@sha256:ae7c441f3c2db739The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.32736bd, 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.
