Specre

What it does

Specre is a minimal specification format and toolkit designed for Spec-Driven Development (SDD). It enables developers and AI agents to maintain atomic, traceable specification cards that describe single behaviors, preventing specification drift and reducing AI context window bloat.

Tools

• init: Initialize a specre project.
• new: Create a new specification card.
• index: Generate a machine-readable cache of specifications and source references.
• status: Check the lifecycle state of specifications.
• trace: Perform bidirectional traceability between specs and code.
• orphans: Identify specifications without corresponding implementation.
• tag: Manage specification tags.
• coverage: Analyze specification coverage of the codebase.
• health-check: Perform an automated check of the specification health.
• search: Find specific specifications within the project.
