Requirements → Design → Tasks → Execute — with specs that keep your AI assistant aligned every step of the way.

🎥 Out-Of-The-Box Experience for AI Spec-Driven Development

Specly Code Demo

📌 Overview

Specly Code is a spec‑driven, AI‑assisted fork of Roo Code focused on planning and building features using structured specifications.

Works great with most Roo Code–compatible models.
Encourages a spec workflow: requirements → design → tasks → execute.
Reduces ambiguity and improves collaboration and handoff.

✨ Features

Generate, refactor, and debug code guided by structured specs.
Read and write files in your workspace.
Execute terminal commands and automate workflows.
Integrate custom models/providers.
Extend with Custom Modes and MCP (Model Context Protocol).

🧭 Why Specs?

Specs are structured, actionable plans that break a feature down from high‑level requirements into detailed steps.

Make scope, decisions, and deliverables explicit.
Improve team handoffs and reviews.
Keep AI‑assisted agents aligned with the plan.

⚡ Quick Start

Install the extension (see repository docs or internal distribution).
Connect your AI provider.
Create a new Spec and work through the stages: requirements → design → tasks → execute.

🧰 Tools & MCP

Built‑in tools can:

Read/write project files
Run commands in your VS Code terminal
Control a browser for complex automation
Connect to external services via MCP for unlimited integrations

🛠️ Customization

Add local models for offline use.
Optionally auto‑approve actions to speed up iterations.
Customize spec stage prompts with project-scoped overrides in .specly_dev/steering/. Create YAML or JSON files for spec-requirements, spec-design, spec-tasks, and spec-execute to add custom instructions without modifying built-in modes. Example: spec-execute.yml with content:
```
customInstructions: |
  - Always write tests for core logic.
  - Follow the approved task plan.
  - Match existing code patterns.
```
