Speclintai
What is Speclintai?
Speclintai is an innovative tool designed to enhance the quality of specifications before they are processed by AI coding agents. By scoring every GitHub issue based on its completeness and clarity, Speclint ensures that only well-defined specifications lead to successful code outputs. This proactive approach helps prevent the shipping of broken code, making it easier for development teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently. Speclintai offers a free tier for users to try its capabilities without any commitment.
How to use Speclintai?
- Install Speclint: Integrate Speclint with your GitHub repository by adding the provided YAML configuration file. This enables automatic scoring on issue creation and edits.
- Create a GitHub Issue: Open or edit an issue in your GitHub repository. Speclint will automatically score the issue based on its completeness.
- Review the Score: Check the completeness score provided by Speclint. If the score is below your set threshold (default is 70), Speclint will comment on what’s missing.
- Fix the Specification: Modify the issue based on Speclint's feedback. You can also request Speclint to rewrite the failing parts for you.
- Rescore and Label: After making changes, Speclint will automatically rescore the issue. If it passes the threshold, it will label the issue as 'agent_ready', making it available for your coding agents.

- Enhancing Collaboration: Speclint facilitates better communication among team members by providing clear feedback on specification deficiencies, promoting a more collaborative development environment.
Speclintai Reviews
We spent weeks debugging agent rework before realizing the specs were the problem. $29/month on spec quality eliminated most of that rework.
Writing for Speclint's linter forced us to answer: why does this feature matter? That's not a linting rule — that's product thinking.

Speclintai Q&A
Speclint scores your specs based on five dimensions that map to specific failure modes: has measurable outcome, has testable criteria, has constraints, no vague verbs, and has verification steps. Each dimension contributes to a completeness score from 0 to 100.
