spec-design skillA
spec-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from komluk/scaffolding: 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)..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
## 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) |
| **Open Questions** | Unresolved items | Numbered list |
