Quick brief

Use Spec Kit when the job is to take a feature idea or product scenario and turn it into explicit spec artifacts, implementation plans, and task lists before coding begins. Invoke it instead of using an AI coding assistant in ordinary freeform chat when you need a repeatable spec-driven workflow with project initialization, slash commands, and clear handoffs from requirements to execution. The scope boundary is publishable and skill-shaped: this is a spec-first workflow for supported AI agents, not a generic GitHub project listing and not merely a product card for a CLI or framework.
