Spec-Driven Development for serious software developers. Spec Coding with with Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Codex. Kanban dashboard, git worktrees, auto-merge and more.
Spec Kitty is an open-source command-line tool that turns product requirements into a repository-based workflow for AI-assisted software development. It stores specifications, plans, tasks, acceptance criteria, reviews, and merge decisions in Git while giving agents isolated git worktrees for parallel implementation. The catalogue add-ons support the project's workflows for coordinating agents and governing their work.

Legacy alias for resolver-backed profile loading. Use the canonical spk-doctrine-profile-load skill for identity, boundaries, and governance. Triggers: "act as the architect", "load the reviewer profile", "switch to researcher", "use the planner role", "adopt a profile".
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Deploy a bounded, profile-loaded adversarial review squad at an SDD point-cut (post-spec, post-plan, post-tasks, pre-merge, or an ad-hoc decision) so independent doctrine lenses converge on findings one reviewer would miss. Triggers: "deploy a squad", "adversarial squad", "post-tasks anti-laziness pass", "pre-spec…

Recognize when a mission is a bulk edit and drive the occurrence-classification guardrail on the user's behalf. Triggers: user says any variant of "rename X to Y", "change the terminology", "migrate all occurrences", "replace across the codebase", "the X feature is now the Y feature", "sed everywhere", or any request…

Run charter interview, generation, context, and sync workflows for project governance in Spec Kitty 3.x. Access doctrine artifacts programmatically via DoctrineService. Resolve agent profiles. Load action-scoped governance context iteratively, not all at once. Triggers: "interview for charter", "generate charter"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Understand how Spec Kitty manages git: what git operations Python handles automatically, what agents must do manually, worktree lifecycle, auto-commit behavior, merge execution, and the safe-commit pattern. Triggers: "how does spec-kitty use git", "worktree management", "auto-commit", "who commits what", "git…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Curate and apply canonical terminology across Spec Kitty missions. Triggers: "update the glossary", "use canonical terms", "check terminology", "add a term", "fix term drift", "glossary conflicts", "resolve ambiguity", "review terminology consistency".

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Orchestrate the implement-review loop for Spec Kitty work packages using any configured agent. Covers agent dispatch, state transitions, rejection cycles, arbiter escalation, and dependency-aware sequencing across all 13 supported coding agents. Triggers: "implement and review WPs", "run the implement-review loop"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Review a fully merged Spec Kitty mission post-merge (all WPs done/approved) to verify spec→code fidelity, FR coverage, drift, risks, and security. Triggers: "review the merged mission", "post-merge mission review", "verify the completed mission", "audit the mission implementation", "mission-level acceptance review"…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Understand how Spec Kitty missions work: the 4 built-in mission types, how they define workflows via step contracts and action indices, how missions and work packages relate, how templates are resolved through the 6-tier chain, and how doctrine artifacts (procedures, tactics, directives) compose mission behavior.…

Teach agents and external systems how to use spec-kitty orchestrator-api to drive workflows from outside the host CLI. Triggers: "use orchestrator-api", "build a custom orchestrator", "automate externally", "integrate CI with spec-kitty", "call spec-kitty from another tool", "orchestrator contract", "external…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Orchestrate a multi-repo, multi-mission Spec Kitty program end-to-end: run specify → plan → tasks → implement → review → merge → mission-review → post-merge fixes across several repositories in a defined dependency order, using background sub-agents for parallel work and a pulse-heartbeat safety net for long…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Drive the canonical spec-kitty next --mission control loop for mission advancement. Load agent profiles at init, apply action-scoped doctrine context at each step boundary, and pull specific tactics/directives on demand. Triggers: "run the next step", "what should runtime do next", "advance the mission", "what is the…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Review runtime-owned outputs using the Spec Kitty review workflow surface, then direct approval or rejection with structured feedback. Triggers: "review this work package", "check runtime output", "approve this step", "review WP", "is this WP ready to approve", "check this implementation". Does NOT handle: setup-only…

Install, verify, and recover the modern Spec Kitty 2.0.11+ operating surface. Triggers: "set up Spec Kitty", "skills missing", "next is blocked", "runtime is broken", "doctrine assets are missing", "my agent can't find the skills". Does NOT handle: generic coding questions with no Spec Kitty context, direct runtime…

Drive REASONS Canvas authoring and review for Spec Kitty missions that opted in to Structured-Prompt-Driven Development (SPDD) via charter selection. Triggers: "use SPDD", "use REASONS", "generate a REASONS canvas", "apply structured prompt driven development", "make this mission SPDD". Does NOT handle: enforcing SPDD…

Standalone Spec Kitty governance invocation: run Spec Kitty when the user indicates they want Spec Kitty involved, load governance context, open an Op, do the work under that context, and close the Op with the real outcome. Documents dispatch, profiles list, invocations list, and profile-invocation complete. Triggers…
