What Spec Kitty Runtime Next does

Spec Kitty Runtime Next drives the canonical spec-kitty next control loop so an agent can advance missions through step decisions, WP iteration management, and doctrine-aware context loading. Use it when you need to determine the next action, unblock a stalled mission, or interpret runtime outcomes.

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

README

Excerpt

spec-kitty-runtime-next

This skill teaches agents how to advance a Spec Kitty mission through the canonical runtime control loop, including doctrine-aware context loading at each step boundary.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

Advance a mission to its next step
Understand what the runtime will do next
Unblock a stalled mission
Interpret runtime outcomes (step, blocked, decision_required, terminal)

How the Runtime-Next System Works

The spec-kitty next command is the single entry point for agent-driven mission execution. Each call returns a deterministic decision about what action the agent should take next.

Decision Algorithm

The runtime evaluates state in this order:
