โ†’ Error Recovery Guide


๐Ÿ‘ฅ Who Is This For?

๐ŸŽ“ Beginners

You'll understand what's happening and why.

No confusion. No guessing.

๐Ÿ’ผ Experienced Developers

You'll fix errors faster with recovery workflows.

No wasted time. No frustration.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Teams

You'll have consistent practices with Constitutional Governance.

No conflicts. No technical debt.

๐Ÿ“š Learners

You'll see real examples, not abstract theory.

No confusion. No gaps.


๐ŸŽฏ Why This Guide Exists

The official Spec-Kit is powerful. But power without clarity is frustrating.

The Split:

Official Docs This Guide
โœ… What the tool does โœ… How to actually use it
โœ… Technical reference โœ… What to do when it breaks
โœ… Core features โœ… Real-world examples

Both are needed. Use both.

Always check the official repository for updates.
