spec-dev 0.1.9

Bundle of the .spec-dev workspace template.

spec-dev

A small helper package that bundles the .spec-dev workspace template so it can be installed with pip and copied into new projects.

Installation

pip install spec-dev

If you are working from the repository source, you can install it locally instead:

pip install .

CLI Usage

# Initialise a project (default destination is the current directory)
spec-dev init
spec-dev init path/to/app
spec-dev init --force                  # overwrite an existing .spec-dev folder

# Create a task memory scaffold from the bundled template
spec-dev memory T-123

# Archive the current cycle and reset active templates
spec-dev cycle --label release-qa

Run spec-dev --help for the full command list and examples.

Python API

from spec_dev import copy, create_memory, complete_cycle

root = copy("/path/to/project", overwrite=True)
memory = create_memory("T-123", root)
archive = complete_cycle(root, label="release-qa")

Each helper returns the Path it creates (the .spec-dev directory, the new memory file, or the archived history folder).

Workflow Primer

The bundled instructions under .spec-dev/*.md walk you through the Specify → Plan → Tasks → Implementation phases. Highlights:

• .spec-dev/templates/active/ contains fresh templates for each phase, ready to copy into .spec-dev/active-dev/.
• Task memories live under .spec-dev/active-memories/; use spec-dev memory T-XXX to scaffold an entry and capture why/what/how plus validation evidence.
• After delivering a cycle, run spec-dev cycle [--label <name>] to move the finished spec/plan/tasks/implementation log into .spec-dev/history/ and reset active-dev/ with clean templates for the next iteration.
