What are the system requirements for this skill?

You need Git installed in your PATH, an active internet connection to fetch GitHub releases, and a environment capable of running PowerShell (pwsh) scripts.

How does the conversational workflow work?

When you run the command, Claude presents a summary of proposed changes. It only executes the actual update or installation after you provide verbal confirmation in the chat.

Can I revert an update if something goes wrong?

Yes, the updater automatically creates a timestamped backup before applying any changes and supports a -Rollback flag to restore the previous state.

Do I need VSCode installed to use this skill?

While not strictly required for the update logic, VSCode is highly recommended as the skill integrates with its merge editor to help you resolve file conflicts visually.

Does this skill overwrite my custom project files?

No, the skill uses file hashing to detect customizations and will prompt you to merge or preserve your specific changes during the update process.

This skill provides an automated, conversation-driven workflow for maintaining SpecKit installations within Claude Code projects. It intelligently detects existing project structures, identifies modified files through hash comparison, and performs safe updates or fresh installations. By integrating directly with VSCode for conflict resolution and maintaining a detailed manifest of changes, it ensures that your project's architectural templates and commands stay current without overwriting your specific project logic or custom workflows.
