Spec Kit — check & version

Inspect the local Spec Kit environment with the Specify CLI. This skill exposes the read-only specify check and specify version commands.

Prerequisite: needs the specify CLI. If specify --version fails, install it with the speckit-cli-setup skill first.

When to use

  • Before/after specify init to confirm required tools are present.
  • To report the installed CLI version and feature capabilities.

How to invoke

# Check that all required tools are installed
specify check

# Show version and system information
specify version

# Show local CLI feature capabilities
specify version --features

# Machine-readable capabilities
specify version --features --json

Notes

  • These commands are read-only and safe to run without confirmation.
  • If the user reports a version problem, hand off to the speckit-self skill to check for and apply CLI upgrades.
