DevSpark
Current Release
Current version: v4.2.0
DevSpark is an Adaptive System Life Cycle Development toolkit for AI coding assistants. It is prompt-first: the product is the command prompt collection, quickstart prompts, helper scripts, schemas, skills, and current-truth knowledge model.
The current source tree contains 30 active stock command prompts.
Install, upgrade, and repair DevSpark only by running the matching quickstart
prompt from quickstart/ in the target repository.

Command Categories
The canonical feature path is specify → clarify when needed → plan → tasks → required checklist/analyze/critic gates → implement → focused verify when needed → commit/push → create-pr → pr-review ↔ address-pr-review → merge. Release is a
separate human-triggered event.
