Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Spec Kit — self (CLI maintenance)

Maintain the Specify CLI itself with the specify self command group.

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

When to use

  • The user asks whether a newer specify-cli release exists.
  • The user wants to upgrade the CLI, or preview what an upgrade would do.

How to invoke

# Read-only: is a newer release available?
specify self check

# Preview the upgrade without changing anything
specify self upgrade --dry-run

# Upgrade in place
specify self upgrade

# Upgrade to a specific pinned release
specify self upgrade --tag <version>

Notes

  • specify self check is read-only and safe.
  • Run specify self upgrade --dry-run first and show the user the preview before performing an actual in-place upgrade.
  • After upgrading, run specify version (see the speckit-check skill) to confirm the new version.
