What is Specboot?
Specboot is a portable CLI tool and template kit that bootstraps an augmented spec-driven development environment into any project. At its core it solves a common problem: when a team uses multiple AI coding assistants, each tool operates in isolation with different (or no) context about the project’s standards, architecture, and workflows. Specboot fixes this by:- Installing a single source of truth (
docs/base-standards.md) that all AI copilots read automatically - Wiring up symlinks so Claude, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini each find their configuration at their expected path
- Providing pre-built agent roles (backend developer, frontend developer, product analyst) with expert-level system prompts
- Bundling reusable skills for recurring tasks like enriching user stories, auditing code, creating commits, and managing git worktrees
- Integrating with OpenSpec for a structured spec-driven loop: plan → specify → implement → verify → ship
Install Specboot
Run
npx @lidr/lidr-specboot in your project root. Files are copied and symlinks are created automatically — existing files are never overwritten.Customize your docs/
Update the files in
docs/ with your project’s real stack, architecture patterns, API contracts, and domain models. This step is mandatory for meaningful AI assistance.Initialize OpenSpec
Run
openspec init and point your config.yml to the docs/ and ai-specs/ directories Specboot just installed.Key Features
Multi-Copilot Support
A single
docs/base-standards.md is symlinked to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, codex.md, and GEMINI.md so every AI tool loads the same rules.AI Agent Roles
Pre-built agent definitions for backend (DDD/TypeScript), frontend (React), and product strategy work.
Reusable Skills
Composable skill prompts for enriching stories, auditing code, writing commits, managing worktrees, and more.
Development Standards
Opinionated TDD-first standards with 90%+ coverage requirements, strict TypeScript, and clean architecture patterns.
