Use Spec Kitty in Augment Code (Auggie)

Tier: supported. Citation (accessed 2026-05-21): https://docs.augmentcode.com/auggie/overview

Prerequisites

• Spec Kitty CLI installed. See Install Spec Kitty.
• Project initialized for this harness:

  spec-kitty init --ai auggie
  

  (The configuration key is auggie; the on-disk directory is .augment/.)
• Augment Code installed and signed in. Follow the Auggie overview for installation and authentication.

Where Spec Kitty installs files

Per the supported-harnesses matrix, Augment Code uses the slash-command mechanism. Spec Kitty installs:

• Directory: .augment/commands/
• Files: spec-kitty.specify.md, spec-kitty.plan.md, spec-kitty.tasks.md, spec-kitty.implement.md, spec-kitty.review.md, spec-kitty.accept.md, spec-kitty.merge.md, spec-kitty.dashboard.md, spec-kitty.status.md, spec-kitty.charter.md, spec-kitty.analyze.md, spec-kitty.research.md.

Canonical invocation

Inside Augment Code's chat, slash commands are invoked as:

/spec-kitty.specify "<one-line mission description>"
/spec-kitty.plan
/spec-kitty.tasks
/spec-kitty.implement WP01

Worked example

1. Open your project in Augment Code.
2. In the agent chat, type:

   /spec-kitty.specify "a hello world page"
   

3. Spec Kitty's interview prompts appear — answer them inline.
4. When asked for a kebab-case slug, supply something short, e.g. hello-world-page.
5. The mission spec lands at kitty-specs/hello-world-page-<mid8>/spec.md.

Troubleshooting

• /spec-kitty.* commands do not appear. Run spec-kitty agent config sync from the repo root. This rewrites .augment/commands/ from the canonical source templates. Restart Augment Code.

• Profile not loading. Run inside Augment Code:

  /ad-hoc-profile-load researcher-robbie
  

  Use the profile id from the work-package frontmatter.
