Getting Started
The essential setup for getting the most out of DevSpec.
Core ConceptsThe building blocks of DevSpec — projects, repositories, databases, sessions, action items, and knowledge — and how they fit together.From Conversation to DeploymentSet up the full DevSpec loop: talk to Dev, let Autopilot make the changes, and watch them appear live in your product.AI WorkflowHow DevSpec closes the loop end to end — from an action item, through your coding agent and CI/CD pipeline, to a live deployment you can verify.Autopilot RunnersSet up persistent or on-demand coding-agent capacity, then explicitly request named action items so the agent can reserve and claim them in order.
Tips & Tricks
Power-user shortcuts and clever ways to combine features to move faster.
Bring Your Own AgentConnect your coding agent to DevSpec, attach it to a session, and use exact-target owner or delegated commands with reserve-then-claim work acquisition.One-Click Handoff to Your Coding AgentJump straight from DevSpec in the browser into Claude Code (or any enabled coding agent) with a single click of the rocket icon — the work gets done locally and flows right back into DevSpec.Parallel Autopilot with Remote ControlRun several Claude Code sessions at once, connect them to DevSpec, then send exact-target commands from the mobile app so each agent reserves and claims the work you requested.Drive Your Coding Agent from Your PhoneKick off an action item on your machine, then monitor and steer that Claude Code session from your phone with one command — so you can keep DevSpec work moving while you're away from the desk.Connect a Local Agent to a SessionDrive continuous remote control from DevSpec — attach your coding agent to a session and work from the web or Agents page while it acts on your machine.
Projects & Repositories
Manage your software projects and connect your code.
ProjectsCreate and manage software projects as the central hub for all your work.Repository IntegrationConnect repositories from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Gitea for AI-powered code understanding.Code IndexingAutomated parsing and categorization of your codebase.Database ConnectionConnect project databases for schema-aware AI assistance.
Sessions & AI
Conversational AI sessions with deep project awareness.
Knowledge & Tracking
Track tasks and capture structured documents from your AI sessions.
Action ItemsTrack scoped work, dependencies, implementation evidence, and follow-ups from your DevSpec sessions.GoalsSet your project goals with a vision and milestones. Goals are user-authored; DevSpec derives milestones automatically from your completed and in-progress work.ResourcesStructured documents created during AI sessions.ChangelogA deployment-aware timeline of work whose lifecycle and evidence satisfy the project's served completion contract.Persona-Based ReportsAI-generated reports tailored to each team member's role and interests — from engineering velocity to executive summaries.Testing & VerificationReview implementation evidence, observe deployed behavior, request explicit follow-up work, and apply the served completion contract.AnalyticsHow a project is moving, for everyone on it; and what the organization is spending, for the people who manage the money.Automatic Commit TrackingDevSpec watches your commits and retroactively creates tickets, so your team gets full visibility without anyone stopping to write one.
Account & Organization
Profile, billing, and organization management.
Integrations
Connect external tools and services.
Git Provider ConnectionsGive DevSpec access to GitHub for your organization, or connect Bitbucket, GitLab, or Gitea.MCP EndpointLet external coding tools access your DevSpec project knowledge, decisions, and conventions.Deployment MonitoringMonitors CI/CD deployments, records retry/escalation history, and attaches failure evidence to explicit fix requests.From Conversation to CodeThe full workflow from a first conversation to deployed code, without losing context.
Admin
Platform administration tools (admin access required).
Automation
Automate action item resolution with AI-powered agents.
Autopilot Setup GuideConnect coding-agent capacity to DevSpec, configure repository safeguards, and invoke named implementation work with reserve-then-claim acquisition.AutopilotKeep coding-agent capacity available, explicitly request implementation, and let each addressed agent reserve and claim the named work under DevSpec's implementation contract.
Dashboard & Productivity
Tools that help you stay oriented, track your daily progress, and capture your thinking.
