Getting Started
Why Specific?
Coding agents are rapidly improving and writing more code.
But when it comes to infrastructure, they hit a wall.
To understand what’s deployed, they’d need to navigate CLI output.
While Terraform solves this by defining infrastructure as code, it doesn’t handle local dev or deployment.
Docker Compose handles local dev, but production requires separate tooling that must be kept in sync.
The result of all of this is that agents can write your code, but the path from code to running application remains fragmented and manual.
Specific solves this by giving your coding agent the knowledge to declare services, databases, storage and more in a simple configuration file that lives next to your code.
The CLI handles spinning up local dependencies and deploying to production.
But it doesn’t stop there.
After a successful deployment, anything that can fail will fail.
By designing Specific to be agent-first, we optimize the feedback loop so your agent can understand what went wrong.
Traditionally, this would require the agent to search its way through CLI output to find the correct resources.
With Specific, your agent gets immediate access to logs, metrics, and traces and knows exactly how to troubleshoot and debug your systems.
