Priivacy-ai/spec-kitty v0.8.0

on GitHub

Breaking Changes

• Mission system refactored to per-feature model

  • Missions are now selected during /spec-kitty.specify instead of spec-kitty init
  • Each feature stores its mission in meta.json (field: "mission": "software-dev")
  • .kittify/active-mission symlink/file is no longer used
  • Run spec-kitty upgrade to clean up existing projects

• Removed commands

  • spec-kitty mission switch - Missions are now per-feature, not per-project
  • Running this command now shows a helpful error message explaining the new workflow

• Removed flags

  • --mission flag from spec-kitty init - Use /spec-kitty.specify instead
  • Flag is hidden but shows deprecation warning if used

Added

• Mission inference during /spec-kitty.specify - LLM analyzes feature description and suggests appropriate mission:

  • "Build a REST API" → suggests software-dev
  • "Research best practices" → suggests research
  • User confirms or overrides the suggestion
  • Explicit --mission flag bypasses inference

• Per-feature mission storage - Selected mission stored in feature's meta.json:

  • All downstream commands read mission from feature context
  • Legacy features without mission field default to software-dev

• Mission discovery - New discover_missions() function returns all available missions with source indicators

• Updated spec-kitty mission list - Shows source column (project/built-in) for each mission

• Migration for v0.8.0 - spec-kitty upgrade removes obsolete .kittify/active-mission file

• AGENTS.md worktree fix - New worktrees get AGENTS.md symlink, and spec-kitty upgrade fixes existing worktrees

Changed

• All downstream commands (/spec-kitty.plan, /spec-kitty.tasks, /spec-kitty.implement, /spec-kitty.review, /spec-kitty.accept) now read mission from feature's meta.json
• create-new-feature.sh accepts --mission <key> parameter to set mission in meta.json
• Common bash/PowerShell scripts updated to resolve mission from feature directory
• spec-kitty mission current shows current default mission (for informational purposes)
• Dashboard template now includes dynamic AGENTS.md path discovery instructions

Deprecated

• set_active_mission() function - Shows deprecation warning, will be removed in future version

Migration Guide

1. Run spec-kitty upgrade to remove .kittify/active-mission
2. Existing features without mission field will use software-dev by default
3. New features will have mission set during /spec-kitty.specify
