What Spec Kitty does

Spec Kitty routes standalone requests through a governance context, opens an Op record, and closes it with the real outcome after the work is done. Use it when a user wants Spec Kitty involved outside a full mission workflow.

Spec Kitty is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Spec Kitty comes from a repository tagged agentic-coding, ai-agents, ai-coding-workflow, ai-development-dashboard and ai-progress-tracking.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

spec-kitty

Use this skill when the user seems to want Spec Kitty involved and the request is not clearly a full mission workflow.

Spec Kitty does not spawn another LLM. You are the host. Spec Kitty routes the request, assembles governance context, opens an Op record, and returns. You then do the work under that governance context and close the Op with the real outcome.

Default Mental Model

If the user says anything like "use spec kitty to ...", "hey spec kitty ...", "spec kitty fix ...", or "spec kitty ", treat it as a standalone governed invocation unless they clearly ask for a full mission.

Run:

spec-kitty dispatch "<request verbatim>" --json

If the user names a specific profile, or you have a strong reason to bypass routing, pass it explicitly:
