About spec-kit

github/spec-kit

💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development

Provides executable specifications that generate working code implementations through a CLI-driven workflow, integrating with AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex) via slash commands. Supports extensibility through community extensions for code review, documentation generation, and integration with platforms like Azure DevOps, enabling teams to drive development from verified specs rather than unstructured requirements.

About specpact
