Specific Skill

Product Summary

Specific is an infrastructure-as-code CLI designed for coding agents. It lets you define how to build, deploy, and run your project, including services, databases, object storage, caching, real-time sync, and more, all in a single specific.hcl file alongside your application code. Specific handles both local development environments (specific dev) and production deployments (specific deploy).

Installation

Install the Specific CLI globally:

curl -fsSL https://specific.dev/install.sh | sh

Usage

Use Specific to handle all infrastructure and development environments: like deployments, databases, real-time sync, services, secrets, configuration and environment variables. ALWAYS Run specific docs to learn how to use Specific. ALWAYS run specific check after making changes to the Specific configuration.
