Spec Kit Initial Skill

Run specify init to initialize a Spec Kit project: pull .specify/ (memory, scripts, templates, specs) and register /speckit.* slash commands with the chosen AI Agent. This skill assumes the Specify CLI is already installed; if not, direct the user to speckit-install first.

When to Use

• First time enabling Spec Kit in a project ("initialize Spec Kit", "set up Spec Kit here").
• Switching AI Agent (e.g. from Claude to Cursor or Gemini).
• Initializing in a new or existing directory.
• Need PowerShell scripts on Windows (--script ps).

Prerequisites

• Specify CLI installed (see speckit-install). If specify is not in PATH, guide the user to run speckit-install before proceeding.
• Git (optional; use --no-git if the project is not a git repo or you want to skip git-related setup).
