Full SDD workflow, end to end, requirement fully delegated. Open decisions are digested internally (auto triage — no mid-flight questions); MUST stop at exactly two points — the HARD GATE and acceptance/archive. The user participates as an evaluator; evaluation rounds are unlimited. Also accepts the legacy $sdd entry point. Trigger words: spec first / proposal / design first / draft a plan.

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.

# $spec-workflow

Task: $ARGUMENTS

## When to use

Large changes (>150 lines / touching 3+ files / introducing new dependencies / architectural decisions). Trivial / small / medium tasks should be handled directly — **NEVER activate this workflow for those**.

## Execution order

Invoke each phase command in the order below. **If any phase encounters user rejection or a placeholder scan / HARD GATE failure → stop and report; do not push through**.

1. **`$spec-research <direction>`** — survey industry practices + key constraints + flag `[TBD]` pending decisions
2. **`$spec-ask` in auto-triage mode** — do NOT interrogate the user; triage every `[TBD]` into `## Decided` per ask.md § Auto triage: factual → evidence; reversible preference → decide + `auto` mark; irreversible / product-semantics → decide + `escalated` mark (surfaced at the gate, standing unless overturned). Every self-decision passes the four-question filter; "don't do it / minimal" is always a candidate

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kamioj/spec-workflow/spec-workflow@sha256:3baa377d16da7c87

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.886d28d, 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.
