From the repository
Install via cargo install spec-oxide, then run spox init in your project, execute the .spox/setup.sh script to configure MCP servers, launch Claude Code, and run /spox:setup to get started. The core workflow uses three slash commands: /spox:propose, /spox:implement, and /spox:archive. The built-in MCP server provides tools for spec and change management—always use the MCP tools through the AI agent rather than direct CLI commands.
