Specfuse Spec-Authoring Kit

The upstream contract for Specfuse projects. Defines the conventions, vendor extensions, and authoring workflows that the Specfuse code generator consumes to produce backend, frontend, and worker artifacts from OpenAPI 3.0.3 + AsyncAPI 3.0.0 + Arazzo 1.0.1 specifications.

Quick start

Bootstrap a new Specfuse project with the kit's CLI:

pipx install specfuse-authoring     # CLI; recommended
#   (or, inside a venv you control: python3 -m pip install specfuse-authoring)
specfuse-authoring init ~/projects/my-new-project

You'll be prompted for the project name, the project token (channel-address prefix), and the initial domain. The CLI substitutes placeholders, scaffolds the authoring contract (handbooks + samples) into .specfuse/authoring/, wires the specfuse-authoring Claude Code plugin into .claude/settings.json, and prints next steps. Pass --name/--token/--domain to run non-interactively.

The Claude Code authoring assets (skills + agents) ship as the specfuse-authoring plugin in the shared specfuse marketplace. init auto-wires the plugin, but you install it once in Claude Code with:

/plugin marketplace add specfuse/specfuse
/plugin install specfuse-authoring@specfuse

To re-sync .specfuse/authoring/ and re-assert the plugin config in an existing project after a kit update:

specfuse-authoring refresh ~/projects/existing-project

Pull newer skills with /plugin update specfuse-authoring@specfuse.

See examples/hello-orders/ for a complete worked example.

The kit is upstream of both: it defines what a Specfuse spec must look like. The generator consumes those specs to emit code. The orchestrator coordinates the multi-agent authoring workflow that produces those specs.

Status

Incubating (v0.5.5), Apache-2.0. Handbooks, samples, schemas, the project-init template, the bundled hello-orders example, the specfuse-authoring plugin (in the specfuse/specfuse marketplace), and the specfuse-authoring CLI are all in place. Generator-side alignment items are tracked in compatibility.md.

The kit is distributed on PyPI as specfuse-authoring and hosted under Specfuse/authoring. The code generator it drives is distributed separately as a pinned, checksum-verified release asset (see generator.lock); specfuse-authoring generate resolves, verifies, and runs it on demand.
