Builds reviewed requirements, technical design, and an executable implementation plan from an issue URL or requirements text, then stops at approval.

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

# Spec

Turn the supplied source into approved planning artifacts. This skill owns discovery and planning only; after approval, report the artifact directory and stop.

## Artifact contract

Every completed run writes:

```text
docs/specs/<slug>/
├── spec.md
├── plan.md
└── approval.md
```

Choose a stable, kebab-case slug from the accepted problem. Add supporting Markdown only when the work needs it, such as `research.md`, `decisions.md`, `data-model.md`, `migration.md`, or files under `contracts/`.

`spec.md` is authoritative for requirements and technical design. `plan.md` is authoritative for execution. `approval.md` certifies the exact approved versions of both. HTML may supplement review when visualization materially helps, but it never replaces the Markdown.

Use stable identifiers throughout:

- `R1` — observable requirement
- `D1` — technical design decision
- `T1` — implementation task
- `V1` — expected or captured verification evidence

## Lifecycle

Run these stages in order. Load a stage reference only when that stage begins.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kriscard/skills/spec@sha256:fc4d8b0e8fc0e3fb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.1185463, 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.
