Validating Environment
Overview
This skill validates that all required dependencies and configuration are in place for spectacular workflows. It checks for the superpowers plugin, git-spice installation, git repository status, and project structure. It also detects whether the workspace is single-repo or multi-repo.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Starting a new spectacular session
- Running
/spectacular:initcommand - Before beginning any spectacular workflow to ensure prerequisites are met
- Troubleshooting spectacular setup issues
Announce: "I'm using validating-environment to check the spectacular setup."

33writing-specs
Complete spec workflow - generates Run ID, creates isolated worktree, brainstorms requirements, writes lean spec documents that reference constitutions, validates architecture quality, and reports completion
19executing-plan
Use to execute an implementation plan with automatic sequential/parallel orchestration - handles worktree verification, resume detection, phase dispatch, and quality verification
10troubleshooting-execute
Use when execute command encounters errors - diagnostic guide for phase failures, parallel agent failures, merge conflicts, worktree issues, and recovery strategies
7decomposing-tasks
Use when you need to create an execution plan from a feature spec - handles worktree context, dispatches subagent for task decomposition, validates quality, analyzes dependencies, groups into phases, and commits the plan
7versioning-constitutions
Use when architectural patterns evolve, tech stack changes, or foundational rules need updates - creates new constitution version directory, migrates/organizes content into modular files, updates symlink, and documents changes
