Gigaspec
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Gigaspecinitialize a new project for a collaborative task manager"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

๐ฏ What is Gigaspec?
Gigaspec is an AI-native collaboration framework that transforms how software projects are planned and built. Instead of static templates or keyword-based recommendations, Gigaspec enables deep AI analysis of your requirements with intelligent Q&A workflows.
The Problem with Traditional Tools
User: "I want to build a real-time collaborative app"
Traditional Tool: "Use Elixir!" โ No questions, no reasoningThe Gigaspec Way
User: "I want to build a real-time collaborative app"
AI: "Tell me more! What's your expected user count? Do you need
offline support? What's your team's expertise?"
โ Analyzes deeply
โ Explains reasoning
โ Recommends tailored stackโจ Features

๐ Quick Start
Installation
# Global installation
npm install -g gigaspec
# Or use without installing
npx gigaspec init --name "MyApp"Create Your First Project
# Interactive AI-guided wizard
gigaspec init
# Or specify your stack directly
gigaspec init --name "MyApp" --stack "Node.js/Next.js"
# Non-interactive with defaults
gigaspec init --name "MyApp" --yes
# Generate v5.0 Ultimate Spec Kit (RECOMMENDED)
gigaspec generate --name "MyApp" --stack "Node.js/Express" --v5๐ Gigaspec v5.0 (Ultimate Spec Kit)
The specification framework that forces AI compliance.
# Generate v5.0 spec kit with immutable rules
gigaspec generate --name "MyApp" --stack "Node.js/Express" --v5What makes v5.0 different:
CLAUDE.md - Immutable system rules that AI cannot override
Automated Verification - Every code change validated
Multi-Tool Adapters - Claude Code, Cursor, Kimi support
Model-Agnostic - Works with any LLM

Gigaspec works both as a CLI tool (for humans) and an MCP server (for AI IDEs). Use whichever fits your workflow:
CLI: Run
gigaspeccommands directly in terminalMCP: AI assistants use tools via MCP integration
All CLI commands support --json for structured output:
# Start AI workflow
gigaspec init --json
# Get current task to implement
gigaspec continue --json
# Verify code compliance
gigaspec verify --jsonMCP Integration
Gigaspec includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI IDEs like Kimi, Claude Desktop, and Cline.
Configuration
Add to your AI IDE's MCP settings:
Option 1: Global Install (Recommended)
npm install -g gigaspecThen configure your AI IDE:
Kimi Desktop (~/.kimi/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gigaspec": {
"command": "gigaspec-mcp"
}
}
}Claude Desktop (%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gigaspec": {
"command": "gigaspec-mcp"
}
}
}Option 2: Using npx (No Install)
{
"mcpServers": {
"gigaspec": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gigaspec-mcp"]
}
}
}Option 3: Local Development (Project Path)
When developing gigaspec itself or using a local copy:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gigaspec": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"./bin/mcp-server.js"
],
"env": {}
}
}
}Available Tools
Once configured, your AI assistant can use:
gigaspec-initโ Initialize projectgigaspec-analyzeโ Create analysis promptgigaspec-generateโ Generate specification filesgigaspec-statusโ Get project statusgigaspec-wizardโ Interactive project setup
๐ Commands
Core Commands
Command | Description |
| Initialize project with AI collaboration framework |

| Verify code against AGENT.md |
Options
# JSON output for AI consumption
gigaspec init --name "MyApp" --json
# Specify stack
gigaspec init --name "MyApp" --stack "Elixir/Phoenix"
# With all options

--yes๐ How It Works
1. Describe Your Project
"I want to build a math learning app for kids"2. AI Analyzes Deeply
The AI receives a structured prompt and:
โ Analyzes core requirements
โ Identifies user types and scale
โ Considers technical challenges
โ Asks clarifying questions
3. Intelligent Q&A
AI: "I have some questions to better understand your needs:
1. What age range are you targeting?
2. Do you need offline capability?
3. Will this be free or subscription?
4. Any compliance requirements (COPPA)?"4. Tailored Recommendations
AI: "Based on your answers, I recommend:
Stack: Next.js 14 with PWA capabilities
Why: PWA gives offline capability, Next.js excels at interactive content
Database: PostgreSQL via Supabase
Why: Built-in realtime for progress sync, COPPA compliance features
Services: Clerk (COPPA-compliant auth), Stripe (payments)"5. Generate & Build
gigaspec generate --stack "Next.js 14" --name "MathLearn"๐ Comparison
Traditional Tools | Gigaspec | |
Analysis | Keyword matching | Deep AI reasoning |
