Where specs become law. One command turns any repo into a spec-driven, agent-ready project: Foundation (laws + gates), Compass (local code graph), Lawbook (spec workflow, ceremony 0–3) and Cortex (multi-agent loop). CLI + MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & Windsurf. 100% local — no LLM, no cloud.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what speclaw tells them →

Finalize a completed change — sync its specs into canonical, then move it to the archive. Use when a change is done and merged-ready: "archive the change", "finalize X", "close out the change". Part of speclaw's lawbook module (draft → build → sync → archive). Archiving belongs in the same PR that implements the…

Draft a new spec-driven change — propose a ceremony level, then write only the artifacts that level needs — before writing any code. Use when the user wants to start, plan, or propose a new feature, fix, or refactor: "draft a change for X", "propose X", "let's plan X", "spec out X", "new change". Part of speclaw's…

Enter explore mode — a thinking partner for investigating an idea, a problem, or the codebase before or during a change. Use when the user wants to think something through, understand how something works, or clarify requirements before committing to a spec: "help me think through X", "how does X work", "explore X"…

Forensic bug triage — rank suspects via lawbookinvestigate before draft --bug. Use with a stack trace or symptom when starting RCA.

Scaffold a level-0 lawbook change (record.md + reports) for a tiny fix. Use when the user wants a one-line fix, typo, or docs-only tweak without full ceremony — "quick change", "speclaw quick", "level 0", "skip proposal".

Promote a change's delta specs into the canonical specs, without archiving. Use when the user wants to update the source-of-truth specs from a change: "sync the specs", "update the canonical specs", "promote the specs". Part of speclaw's lawbook module (draft → build → sync → archive).

Cortex — One brain. Many agents. The standard way to build any change, as fast as one agent: Compass + laws as guardrails, evidence shipped by hook, extra agents only in parallel.
