How it works

From sign-in to your first spec visualization in under a minute.

Step 1
Connect GitHub

Sign in with OAuth. SpecStat only requests read access — no write permissions ever.

Step 2
Select a repo

Pick any repository you have access to. Private repos are fully supported.

Step 3
OpenSpec analysis

SpecStat finds openspec/index.json and parses all referenced spec files in real time.

Step 4
Explore & visualize

Switch between 6 views — Stories, Graph, Tree, Timeline, Proposals or Archive.

6 ways to explore your specs

Every visualization mode is purpose-built for a different part of how engineering teams use specs.

Stories

Read specs as structured stories with full detail, status, contributors and linked resources.

Proposals

Track proposed changes and design decisions before they become spec.

Tree

Navigate your spec index in a collapsible folder hierarchy — just like your repo.

Graph

See spec relationships as an interactive node graph. Zoom, pan, click to explore.

Timeline

View how specs evolved over time — who changed what and when.

Archive

Explore historical and deprecated specs without losing context.

Built on the OpenSpec standard

Your specs live in git — SpecStat just reads them.

SpecStat reads openspec/index.json — a vendor-neutral, git-native format for documenting software specifications. No proprietary database. No lock-in. Your specs are always yours, in your repo.
