Reference Documentation

Complete reference for all SpecWeave skills, commands, and capabilities.

What's the Difference?

Type	Purpose	Example
Skills	Domain expertise and best practices	sw:architect, /mobile:appstore
Commands	Execute specific actions	sw:auto, sw:done, sw:validate

Both Are Slash Commands Now

In Claude Code, skills and commands are invoked the same way - with sw:name. Skills provide domain knowledge; commands perform actions.

Most Used

Planning

"Let's build a new feature"

sw:pm                                 # Product management
sw:architect                          # System design

Execution

"Ship while I sleep"

sw:do                                # Manual task-by-task
sw:progress                          # Check status

Quality

"Check the quality of my work"

Additional: sw:qa --gate (AI quality gate), sw:grill (deep audit).

Completion

"What's next?"

Additional: sw-github:sync 0007 (sync to GitHub).

Plugin Ecosystem

Skills come from plugins. Core plugin sw is always installed. Domain plugins auto-load based on your tech stack:

Plugin	Skills Count	Domain
sw (core)	44	Planning, execution, quality, sync, utilities
mobile	1	App Store Connect automation
marketing	3	Marketing and social media
google-workspace	3	Google Workspace CLI
productivity	1	Personal productivity
skills	1	Skill discovery

Installing Plugins

# The sw plugin installs automatically via specweave init
# Domain plugins install manually:
npx vskill install --repo anton-abyzov/vskill --plugin mobile
npx vskill install --repo anton-abyzov/vskill --plugin marketing
npx vskill install --repo anton-abyzov/specweave --plugin sw
