SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New Spec Kitty users often do not know whether to run a CLI command, invoke a slash command, or load a skill, and can pick the wrong entry point for their situation. This Skill orients users by their working context and routes them to the smallest useful workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Entry Mode Detection: Distinguishes command-line users from agent-harness users (slash commands, Codex $spec-kitty.* syntax, or skill hosts).
  • Workflow Routing: Maps user intent to the right spk-* skill, such as setup doctor for broken installs, first-feature for new work, or review and acceptance gates for approval tasks.
  • Layered Model Explanation: Clarifies the three Spec Kitty layers—commands, skills, and doctrine—without turning into a full tutorial.
  • Use Case: A developer opens Claude Code with Spec Kitty installed and asks where to begin; the agent identifies the harness context and routes them to spk-start-first-feature to start a new feature.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to help you get started with Spec Kitty and it will identify your environment and route you to the right workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about spk-start-here

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get started with Spec Kitty?▼

Start by identifying your entry mode: command-line users run spec-kitty CLI commands, while agent-harness users invoke slash commands or skill syntax. Then route to the matching skill, such as setup doctor for new installs or first-feature for new work.

What is the difference between Spec Kitty commands and skills?▼

Commands like /spec-kitty.* slash commands and CLI commands create or advance mission artifacts. Skills are spk-* operating guides that teach an agent how to use the product, while doctrine provides charter and governance context loaded on demand.

Does Spec Kitty work with Codex and Claude Code?▼

Yes, Spec Kitty supports multiple agent harnesses. Slash-command hosts use /spec-kitty.* commands, Codex uses $spec-kitty.<command> syntax, and skill-aware hosts use their native skill invocation syntax.

What should I do if Spec Kitty commands are missing?▼

Route to the spk-admin-setup-doctor skill, which handles broken installations and missing command surfaces. It diagnoses setup problems before you attempt any feature or mission workflow.

Which Spec Kitty skill handles reviews and approvals?▼

Use spk-run-review-wp for review work on work packages, followed by spk-gate-accept for approval decisions. These skills manage the review and acceptance gates in the mission lifecycle.
