Documentation

README

Excerpt

spec-kitty-setup-doctor

Diagnose and repair the Spec Kitty installation for the current project and agent.

Use this skill when the user reports that Spec Kitty is not working, skills are missing, slash commands are unavailable, or the runtime environment appears broken.

Step 1: Detect Environment

Determine the active agent, repository state, and working directory.

What to check:

Which AI agent is running (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.)
Whether the current directory is inside a git repository
Whether a .kittify/ directory exists (indicates prior initialization)
Whether this is a worktree or the repository root checkout

Commands:

git rev-parse --show-toplevel
ls .kittify/config.yaml
spec-kitty --version

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
