Why Spec Kit Advanced?

AI coding assistants work best with structured guidance. Spec Kit Advanced provides:

• Progressive Prompt Injection — Small, focused prompts (50-80 lines) at each stage
• Folder-Based State Management — Simple state persistence using feature folders
• Template System — Reusable templates with variable substitution
• Multi-Workflow Support — Specification, planning, implementation, review, and more
• Cross-Platform — Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Free binaries — Compiled binaries available via PyPI at no cost

Quick Start

Installation

pip install speckitadv

Setup for Your AI Agent (Optional)

Slash commands are optional. You can use direct prompting without any setup (see Usage).

To install slash commands for your AI agent:

cd /path/to/your/project

# Interactive setup (recommended)
speckitadv init .

# Or configure specific agent
speckitadv init . --ai claude        # Claude Code
speckitadv init . --ai cursor-agent  # Cursor
speckitadv init . --ai windsurf      # Windsurf
speckitadv init . --ai copilot       # GitHub Copilot
speckitadv init . --ai opencode      # OpenCode
speckitadv init . --ai kilocode      # Kilo Code
speckitadv init . --ai antigravity   # Antigravity

# Configure all supported agents at once
speckitadv init . --all

Usage

List Available Commands

speckitadv --help

Option 1: Direct Prompting (No Setup Required)

Simply prompt your AI coding assistant directly:

Run CLI: `speckitadv specify`. Follow all instructions in the output.

Replace specify with any available command:

Run CLI: `speckitadv review`. Follow all instructions in the output.
Run CLI: `speckitadv tests`. Follow all instructions in the output.
Run CLI: `speckitadv plan`. Follow all instructions in the output.
Run CLI: `speckitadv analyze-project`. Follow all instructions in the output.

The AI agent will execute the CLI command and follow the emitted prompts automatically.

Option 2: Slash Commands (Requires Init)

For a more integrated experience, run speckitadv init to install slash commands:

/speckitadv.specify     # Start specification workflow
/speckitadv.plan        # Start planning workflow
/speckitadv.implement   # Start implementation workflow
/speckitadv.review      # Start code review workflow
/speckitadv.tests       # Start test implementation workflow

How slash commands work:

1. User types slash command in their AI assistant
2. Slash command loads a prompt that instructs the AI agent
3. AI agent executes speckitadv CLI commands to drive the workflow
4. CLI emits stage prompts that guide the AI through each step

Auto-Resume

All feature-scoped commands support automatic state detection:

speckitadv plan --stage=1     # Early stages need explicit --stage
speckitadv plan --stage=2     # Still no state (created at stage 3)
speckitadv plan               # Stage 3+: auto-detects everything!
speckitadv resume             # See what's next

Integration with civyk-repoix

Spec Kit Advanced integrates with civyk-repoix for enhanced code intelligence:

• MCP Mode — Direct integration when MCP is available
• CLI Mode — Fallback for restricted environments

The review and test workflows automatically detect which mode is available and use appropriate commands.

---

Configuration

AGENTS.md

Place AGENTS.md in your repository root to configure AI agent behavior:

my-project/
├── AGENTS.md          # AI agent guidelines (repo root only)
├── memory/
│   └── constitution.md
└── specs/

The AI agent reads AGENTS.md at workflow start for project-specific instructions.
