spec-kit

by github

Spec Kit is a command-line toolkit that gives AI coding agents structured processes and templates, such as writing a specification before building a feature. It is for people who use AI coding assistants and want more predictable, documented results.

What you can do with it

  • Turn a written description of a feature into a plan, task list and working code with your AI coding agent
  • Follow a set process to diagnose and fix a bug, with the cause and checks recorded
  • Assess whether an idea is worth building and get a go, clarify or stop decision

Make money with it

A freelance developer could use it to deliver client software projects faster, with written specifications and records included as part of the service.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Use a consistent specification-first process so a small team or freelancer produces fewer rework cycles when building with AI agents
  • Keep written specs, plans and bug-fix records that can be handed to clients or new team members

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Install the Specify command-line tool with uv (needs Python 3.11 or newer), then run specify init to create a project for your chosen AI coding agent.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs a separate AI coding agent, which may require a paid subscription or API access
  • Community extensions and presets are not audited, so their code should be reviewed before use

graphify Graphify-Labs
Worth a look

Graphify turns a codebase, along with its documents, PDFs, SQL schemas and configuration files, into a graph of connected concepts that you can search and question. It works as a /graphify command inside AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI, so they can look things up in the graph instead of reading every file.

archify tt-a1i
Worth a look

Archify is a skill you add to an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. It turns a description, plan or code repository into an interactive HTML diagram or one-page explainer that you can explore and share.
