Supported AI Coding Agent Integrations
The Specify CLI supports a wide range of AI coding agents. When you run specify init, the CLI sets up the appropriate command files, context rules, and directory structures for your chosen AI coding agent — so you can start using Spec-Driven Development immediately, regardless of which tool you prefer.
Supported AI Coding Agents

Bring your own agent — use --integration generic --integration-options="--commands-dir <path>" for AI coding agents not listed above |
List Available Integrations
specify integration list
Shows all available integrations, which one is currently installed, and whether each requires a CLI tool or is IDE-based.
Install an Integration
specify integration install <key>
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--script sh|ps |
Script type: sh (bash/zsh) or ps (PowerShell) |
--integration-options |
Integration-specific options (e.g. --integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds") |
Installs the specified integration into the current project. Fails if another integration is already installed — use switch instead. If the installation fails partway through, it automatically rolls back to a clean state.
Note: All integration management commands require a project already initialized with
specify init. To start a new project with a specific agent, usespecify init <project> --integration <key>instead.
Uninstall an Integration
specify integration uninstall [<key>]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--force |
Remove files even if they have been modified |
Uninstalls the current integration (or the specified one). Spec Kit tracks every file created during install along with a SHA-256 hash of the original content:
- Unmodified files are removed automatically.
- Modified files (where you've made manual edits) are preserved so your customizations are not lost.
- Use
--forceto remove all integration files regardless of modifications.
Switch to a Different Integration
specify integration switch <key>
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--script sh|ps |
Script type: sh (bash/zsh) or ps (PowerShell) |
--force |
Force removal of modified files during uninstall |
--integration-options |
Options for the target integration |
Equivalent to running uninstall followed by install in a single step.
Upgrade an Integration
specify integration upgrade [<key>]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--force |
Overwrite files even if they have been modified |
--script sh|ps |
Script type: sh (bash/zsh) or ps (PowerShell) |
--integration-options |
Options for the integration |
Reinstalls the current integration with updated templates and commands (e.g., after upgrading Spec Kit). Defaults to the currently installed integration; if a key is provided, it must match the installed one — otherwise the command fails and suggests using switch instead. Detects locally modified files and blocks the upgrade unless --force is used. Stale files from the previous install that are no longer needed are removed automatically.
Integration-Specific Options
Some integrations accept additional options via --integration-options:
| Integration | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
generic |
--commands-dir |
Required. Directory for command files |
kimi |
--migrate-legacy |
Migrate legacy dotted skill directories to hyphenated format |
Example:
specify integration install generic --integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds"
