● 🚀 Complete Guide: Using hjLabs.in-spec-kit in a Real Project

Here's a step-by-step guide for using the hjLabs.in-spec-kit in an actual project:

📋 Prerequisites

Node.js installed on your system
Git repository for your project
Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Gemini CLI as your AI agent

🏁 Step 1: Initialize the Spec-Kit Project

Option A: Initialize in an existing project directory

cd /path/to/your/existing/project
uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify init --here --ai claude

Option B: Create a new project

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify init my-awesome-project --ai claude
cd my-awesome-project

Additional initialization options:

Specify script type (bash or PowerShell)

specify init my-project --ai claude --script sh

Skip agent tools check

specify init my-project --ai claude --ignore-agent-tools

For Windows users who prefer PowerShell

specify init my-project --ai claude --script ps

🔍 Step 2: Verify Project Setup

Detect and validate the spec-kit setup

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify detect-project

If there are issues, auto-fix them

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify detect-project --auto-fix

🎯 Step 3: Enable Task Tracking (Optional but Recommended)

Enable task tracking UI for better project management

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify track-tasks enable

Check task tracking status

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify track-tasks status

📝 Step 4: Start Using AI Commands in Your Project

Once initialized, your project will have these new AI commands available:

4.1 Create Specifications (/specify)

/specify Create a user authentication system with JWT tokens
/specify Add a REST API for managing user profiles
/specify Implement real-time chat functionality with WebSocket

4.2 Generate Implementation Plans (/plan)

/plan Implement the user authentication system
/plan Create the REST API endpoints
/plan Add WebSocket chat features

4.3 Break Down into Tasks (/tasks)

/tasks Break down the authentication system into actionable tasks
/tasks Create subtasks for the REST API implementation
/tasks Generate task list for chat feature development

🔄 Step 5: AI Model Switching (Advanced)

List available AI models

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify list-models

Switch between AI models without losing progress

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify switch-model gemini
uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify switch-model claude
uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify switch-model copilot

📁 Step 6: Project Structure After Initialization

Your project will have this structure:
your-project/
├── .specify/
│ ├── config.json # Project configuration
│ ├── scripts/
│ │ ├── bash/ # Bash automation scripts
│ │ └── powershell/ # PowerShell scripts (Windows)
│ └── state/ # Task tracking and progress
├── specs/ # Generated specifications
│ └── 001-feature-name/
│ ├── spec.md # Feature specification
│ ├── plan.md # Implementation plan
│ ├── tasks.md # Task breakdown
│ └── contracts/ # API contracts
└── your-existing-files...

💡 Step 7: Typical Workflow Example

Here's a complete workflow for adding a new feature:

7.1 In your AI agent (Claude Code/Copilot/Gemini):

/specify Create a blog system with posts, comments, and categories

7.2 After the specification is created:

/plan Implement the blog system from the specification

7.3 After the plan is generated:

/tasks Break down the blog system implementation into actionable tasks

7.4 Start implementation using the generated tasks and specifications

7.5 If you need to switch AI models during development:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify switch-model gemini

🛠️ Step 8: Project Management Commands

Check project health and configuration

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify detect-project

Reset project (with backup) if needed

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify reset-project

Manage task tracking

uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify track-tasks disable
uvx --from git+https://github.com/hemangjoshi37a/hjLabs.in-spec-kit specify track-tasks enable

🎯 Best Practices

Start with /specify - Always begin by creating a clear specification
Then /plan - Generate a detailed implementation plan
Finally /tasks - Break it down into actionable tasks
Track Progress - Use task tracking to monitor development
Switch Models - Try different AI models for different types of tasks
Version Control - Commit your specs and plans to git
Iterate - Refine specifications as requirements evolve

🚨 Troubleshooting

If commands don't work: Run specify detect-project to check setup
If Node.js errors occur: Ensure Node.js 16+ is installed
If AI commands aren't available: Reinitialize with specify init --here
For Windows users: Use --script ps for PowerShell support

This workflow ensures you have a structured, AI-assisted development process with full traceability and the ability to switch between different AI models as needed!

- Implement InitProjectCommand for project initialization - Add copilot as third AI model option alongside claude and gemini - Update all model interfaces and services to support copilot - Add copilot configuration in AIModelSettings - Update MigrationState and ModelSwitcher for copilot compatibility - Bundle updated JavaScript CLI with new functionality 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

This is a fairly large change with quite a few seemingly unrelated items. Has this been discussed in an issue @hemangjoshi37a?

hemangjoshi37a · 2025-09-15T04:39:04Z

I have already mentioned many issues that are related to this in this page. I hope you can find them.

localden · 2025-09-15T04:49:39Z

@hemangjoshi37a please update your main message with what this change does and links to issues where this was discussed (see contribution note for large pull requests). Right now it looks like this:

There are also a bunch of TypeScript and .specify files that are not meant to be here.

blackcrow-it · 2025-09-15T15:25:42Z

@hemangjoshi37a My project does not have a .specify\config.json file

hemangjoshi37a · 2025-09-15T17:31:46Z

@blackcrow-it did you try with --repair or --auto-fix ?

hemangjoshi37a · 2025-09-15T17:34:46Z

@blackcrow-it my branch still is in development so feel free to PR to my branch which further after that can be merged to main

blackcrow-it · 2025-09-16T06:04:02Z

@hemangjoshi37a I think that's what everyone needs, thank you.

This is way too many changes for a single PR. This should be closed and broken into smaller, more focused PRs that would be easier to review on their own.
