speckit-self

Spec Kit — self (CLI maintenance)

Maintain the Specify CLI itself with the specify self command group.

Prerequisite: needs the specify CLI. If specify --version fails, install it with the speckit-cli-setup skill first.

When to use

• The user asks whether a newer specify-cli release exists.
• The user wants to upgrade the CLI, or preview what an upgrade would do.

How to invoke

# Read-only: is a newer release available?
specify self check

Preview the upgrade without changing anything

specify self upgrade --dry-run

Upgrade in place

specify self upgrade

Upgrade to a specific pinned release

specify self upgrade --tag

## Notes

- `specify self check` is read-only and safe.
- Run `specify self upgrade --dry-run` first and show the user the preview before
  performing an actual in-place upgrade.
- After upgrading, run `specify version` (see the speckit-check skill) to confirm
  the new version.
