Description

Adds concise README quickstarts that show how to install Spec Kit and use its three primary workflows:

  • run the core SDD lifecycle through convergence
  • assess, fix, and verify bugs with the bundled bug extension
  • evaluate ideas independently with the bundled assess extension

This gives new users a scannable path from installation to useful outcomes while retaining the detailed walkthrough below.

Testing

Documentation-only change. Rendered the README locally with GitHub-style Markdown and checked the final diff for formatting errors.

  • Tested locally with uv run specify --help
  • Ran existing tests with uv sync && uv run pytest
  • Tested with a sample project (if applicable)

README.md:77

  • The bug-fix quickstart is not directly runnable because vX.Y.Z is a placeholder for a nonexistent Git tag and this section provides no replacement instruction. Use the versionless install command here so newcomers can execute the advertised quickstart as written.
uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@vX.Y.Z

README.md:96

  • The idea-assessment quickstart likewise fails when copied because vX.Y.Z is not an actual Git tag and readers have not yet reached the later explanation. Make this command executable as shown by using the published package directly.
uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@vX.Y.Z

Tell readers to replace the placeholder in every standalone quickstart with the latest tagged release.

Addressed the quickstart placeholder feedback in commit ab78832c. Each standalone quickstart now tells readers to replace vX.Y.Z with the latest release tag and retain the leading v, so the tagged source-install command is actionable where it appears.
