Verify A Download

Every release includes checksums.txt.

grep 'specability-core_<version>_<platform>_<arch>' checksums.txt | shasum -a 256 -c -

The macOS/Linux installer downloads checksums.txt and verifies the selected archive before installing.

The npm and PowerShell installers also verify SHA256 checksums before exposing the specability command.

See docs/verify.md for details.

Activate

After installing, choose the AI coding tool you use and activate Specability:

specability install hook --host claude --scope global   # Claude Code
specability install hook --host codex  --scope global   # Codex CLI
specability install hook --host gemini --scope global   # Gemini CLI

Then open a new agent session. Specability will automatically load its concise main-agent workflow guidance when that session starts.
