Shotgun CLI

Codebase-aware spec engine for Cursor, Claude Code & Lovable

Overview

What it is

Spec Driven Development for Developers and AI Agents. Turn endless iterations into one-shot features. Shotgun writes codebase-aware specs for AI coding agents. We index your entire repo, research how features should fit your architecture, and generate technical specs that keep Cursor, Claude Code, and Lovable on track. Export to AGENTS.md. Your AI agent builds correctly the first time instead of derailing halfway through. Open source CLI for developers working with AI coding agents.

Intent

I need it when

Generate technical specifications automatically from code or requirements

Shotgun CLI enables spec-driven development by automating technical research and specification generation, allowing developers to create accurate specs without manual documentation effort

Integrate specification generation into AI code-generation workflows

Shotgun CLI is designed specifically for AI code-gen tools, providing structured specs that feed into automated code generation pipelines

Reduce time spent on technical documentation and specification writing

Shotgun CLI automates spec generation, eliminating manual documentation overhead and allowing engineers to focus on implementation rather than writing specifications

Maintain consistency and accuracy in technical specifications across projects

Shotgun CLI provides systematic, spec-driven development approach that ensures specifications are generated consistently and aligned with actual code requirements

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs visual UI-based spec generation without command-line interface
  • Organization requires on-premise deployment without cloud access
  • Team lacks technical expertise to integrate CLI tools into development workflow
  • Project requires real-time collaborative spec editing across non-technical stakeholders
  • User needs spec generation for non-software domains or non-technical documentation
