# Turn feature ideas into executable implementation specs and task plans with Spec Kit

Use Spec Kit when an agent should turn a feature idea into a spec-first workflow with explicit artifacts, planning steps, and task breakdowns before code is written.

## Prerequisites

uv, Git, a supported AI coding assistant

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install from GitHub with uv, for example: uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@vX.Y.Z, then run specify init in a project and use the /speckit.* workflow commands from a supported AI agent.
```
