spec-kit-setup

Spec Kit project setup requires Node.js and TypeScript to automate initialization and verify prerequisites across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. PowerShell scripts handle cross-platform compatibility to ensure consistent project bootstrapping.

Spec Kit initialization ensures a SKILL.md file exists at the root with required frontmatter metadata, specifically name and description fields. It also wires optional assets and scripts directories for on-demand usage during spec-driven development workflows.

Yes, you can initialize Spec Kit in an existing project by running the specify init --here command. This performs in-place initialization, applying spec-driven development configurations without creating a new project directory.

Setting up a Spec Kit project includes hook-driven lifecycle automation, gap healing for spec.md and plan.md files, and automated decision logging, progress logging, and audit outputs. It orchestrates finished work via copilot-leader integration.

Yes, Spec Kit setup scripts verify prerequisite availability before bootstrapping your TypeScript project. The initialization automation checks your environment to ensure all required dependencies are present before applying spec-driven configurations.
