description	Start here for Spec Kitty. Orient CLI users and supported agent-harness users; choose the right command, skill family, and recovery path.

spk-start-here

Orient the user by where they are working: command line or supported agent harness.

Access Model

• Command-line users run spec-kitty CLI commands. spk-* skills are not CLI commands.
• Agent-harness users invoke installed command surfaces: /spec-kitty.* in slash-command hosts, $spec-kitty.<command> in Codex, or the host's skill syntax for skill hosts.
• Public spk-* skills are agent operating guides. Use them by name in a skill-aware harness or let natural-language intent trigger them.
• If commands or skills are missing, route to spk-admin-setup-doctor.

Operating Model

Spec Kitty has three visible layers:

1. Commands: /spec-kitty.* slash commands and CLI commands that create or advance mission artifacts.
2. Skills: spk-* operating guides that teach an agent how to use the product.
3. Doctrine: charter, glossary, profiles, directives, and tactics loaded on demand by the runtime or by specialist skills.

Do not turn this into a full tutorial. Identify entry mode first, then route to the smallest useful workflow.

First Route

• New project or broken install: use spk-admin-setup-doctor.
• New feature from scratch: use spk-start-first-feature.
• User wants a command list: use spk-start-command-map.
• User asks "will this work in Codex or Claude?": use spk-start-agent-surface.
• Existing mission needs advancement: use .
