🚀 Quick Start

Get SpecMem running in under 2 minutes.

Try the Demo (30 seconds)

See SpecMem in action with its own specifications:

pip install specmem[local]
specmem demo

This opens a dashboard showing SpecMem's own specs - you'll see: - 📊 All indexed specifications - 🔗 Relationships between specs and code - 💚 Project health score - 📈 Spec coverage metrics

Set Up Your Project (2 minutes)

Step 1: Install

pip install specmem[local]

Step 2: Initialize

cd your-project
specmem init

This creates a .specmem.toml config file.

Step 3: Scan Your Specs

specmem scan

SpecMem automatically detects and indexes specs from: - .kiro/specs/ (Kiro) - CLAUDE.md (Claude Code) - .cursorrules (Cursor) - And more...

Step 4: Launch Dashboard

specmem serve

Open http://localhost:8765 to see your specs!

What You'll See

Spec Overview

All your specifications in one place, searchable and organized.

Health Score

A grade (A-F) showing your project's spec health: - Are specs linked to code? - Are specs up to date? - Are acceptance criteria tested?

Coverage Report

See which acceptance criteria have tests and which don't: 

specmem cov

Impact Analysis

Before changing code, see which specs are affected: 

specmem impact --files src/auth/service.py

Kiro Integration

If you use Kiro, add SpecMem as an MCP server for automatic spec awareness:

// .kiro/settings/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "specmem": {
      "command": "specmem-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Now Kiro's agent can query your specs automatically!
