Products, the hosts they run in, and the agents they drive. Generated from the site's data, so a new product or harness shows up here when its entry is added.
The gated loop as it ships today. Bash and Python, standard library only. Drives Claude, Codex or dsh through a Spec Kit feature, phase by phase, behind the critic gate.
Released as v0.1.0. Runs on Linux with Python 3.13 and Bash.
specstride run Carry a Spec Kit feature through the gated loop.specstride reverse Turn an existing codebase into an as-is Spec Kit feature.specstride learn Suggest, apply and evaluate per-phase settings from run telemetry.One TypeScript codebase in place of three drifting tools. A detached runtime that relaunches itself, micro-loops that fail fast, harness discovery, and a plugin seam for hosts.
Specified as 41 Spec Kit features. Being implemented unattended by the CLI. Not public yet.
Specstride inside Claude Code. Two skills hand specified work to the detached engine and report back in a few lines, so the host keeps its context for judgment.
Specified in the first wave. Built after the core it sits on.
specstride-run Take Spec Kit features that already exist, derive and validate a launch contract, launch the gated loop detached, supervise it and report the digest.specstride-reverse Reverse-engineer a codebase into an as-is Spec Kit feature through the gated loop, with lint and guard checks.The same two skills on dsh, through the same CLI protocol. Alerts come from the engine through status and the digest.
Second wave, after the Claude Code plugin.
specstride-run Same contract as on Claude Code.specstride-reverse Same contract as on Claude Code.The same two skills inside Codex. Codex can already be the proposer or the critic; this puts Specstride behind a Codex prompt too.
On the roadmap. No code yet.
specstride-run Same contract as on Claude Code.specstride-reverse Same contract as on Claude Code.| Host | Product | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your shell | Specstride CLI | Available | The CLI on its own. Bash and Python, no host needed. |
| Claude Code | Claude Code plugin | In progress | The first host. Skills, hook shims and a small binary shim that finds the CLI. |
| dsh | dsh plugin | Planned | DeepSeek Harness. Skills only; alerts arrive through status and the digest. |
| Codex | Codex plugin | Planned | OpenAI's coding agent CLI. |
The proposer is the coding agent; the critic is the judge. They are picked independently. In the CLI today you name them with SPECSTRIDE_PROPOSER and SPECSTRIDE_CRITIC; the TypeScript core adds discovery and per-phase role resolution.
| Harness | Proposer | Critic | Adapter | Tested in the CLI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude | ✓ | ✓ | Available | yes | Backend in the CLI today. Default proposer and critic of the TypeScript core. |
| Codex | ✓ | ✓ | Available | yes | Backend in the CLI today. TypeScript adapter in the first wave. |
| dsh | ✓ | ✓ | Available | yes | Backend in the CLI today, with an optional provider/model qualifier. |
| pi | ✓ | ✓ | In progress | no | TypeScript adapter in the first wave. Proposer, plus a tool-less critic. |
| Gemini CLI | ✓ | ✓ | Planned | no | Own adapter in a later wave. Tool-less critic by a deny-all policy. |
| Copilot CLI | ✓ | — | Planned | no | Own adapter in a later wave. Proposer only; never picked as critic. |
| opencode | ✓ | ✓ | Planned | no | Own adapter in a later wave, driven through its server. |
| OpenRouter | — | ✓ | Planned | no | Critic. A proposer only through a harness that runs the tool loop. |
| z.ai | — | ✓ | Planned | no | Critic. A proposer only through a harness that runs the tool loop. |
