specrew-version

Type: Informational Skill Schema: v1 Status: Active Namespace: /specrew Canonical command: /specrew-version

Purpose

Show the installed Specrew version and slash-command compatibility state. Reports both the installed/runtime version and the project baseline version from .specrew/config.yml.

When to Use

• When a contributor wants to know which version of Specrew is installed.
• When checking whether the slash-command surface is compatible with the current baseline.
• When diagnosing compatibility issues before or after specrew update.
• Invoke this skill when the user says: "What version of Specrew is installed?", "Show Specrew version", "Is the slash-command surface compatible?", "Check Specrew version".

Boundary Safety

This skill provides version and compatibility information only. It does not authorize or imply approval to advance any lifecycle boundary.

Invocation

/specrew-version [--project-path <path>]

Backed by: specrew version / scripts/specrew-version.ps1

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
--project-path	string	No	Target Specrew project path (defaults to current directory)

Outputs

• Installed Specrew version (from module or Specrew.psd1)
• Project baseline version (from .specrew/config.yml)
• Slash-command compatibility state:
  • compatible — the installed version ships the Feature 024 multi-host slash-command surface
  • incompatible — the installed version predates the multi-host slash-command surface; upgrade guidance is shown
  • unknown — the installed version cannot be determined
• Remediation guidance when compatibility is not met:
  • For outdated installed version: Update-Module Specrew or equivalent
  • For outdated project baseline: specrew update

Argument Whitelist

Only --project-path is accepted in v1. Unknown arguments are rejected with explicit help guidance.

Failure Guidance

Failure mode	Behavior
Unsupported argument	Rejected immediately with command-specific help guidance
Missing project setup	Continue with version inspection, report the project baseline as missing, and point to specrew init if the project has not been bootstrapped yet
Version cannot be determined	Report unknown state and suggest verifying the Specrew module installation
Incompatible baseline	Report upgrade guidance (specrew update or Update-Module Specrew)

Compatibility Baseline

The minimum compatible version is the first published Specrew release that ships Feature 024 (the multi-host slash-command surface). Projects running on a pre-v0.24.0 baseline must upgrade to access the full /specrew-* command surface.

Coexistence

Part of the /specrew-* command surface. Coexists with /speckit.* without collision.
