# spk-start-first-feature
Use this skill when a user wants to start their first Spec Kitty mission or
feature and needs the end-to-end path.
## Workflow
1. Verify install and agent surface with `spk-admin-setup-doctor` if commands or
skills are missing.
2. Create or select the mission with `/spec-kitty.specify`.
3. Build the plan with `/spec-kitty.plan`.
4. Produce work packages with `/spec-kitty.tasks` or the outline/packages/finalize
split when the project uses staged task authoring.
5. Advance work with `spk-run-next`.
6. Drive implementation/review loops with `spk-run-implement-review`.
7. Close with `spk-gate-accept`, then `spk-gate-merge`.
8. Finish post-merge checks with `spk-gate-mission-review` and
`spk-gate-retrospective`.
## Guardrails
- Keep the user on one mission until a blocker requires a different route.
- Treat generated runtime prompt files as authoritative for the current action.
- Do not skip review, accept, or merge gates just because implementation appears
complete.
