Spec ADE Features
Connect any agent. Run them in parallel.
Spec ADE is protocol-first. Connect multiple CLI tools, switch agents mid-session, and run them side-by-side on the same codebase.
Agent Connection Hub
Toggle agents to connect them to the workspace core.
Connect an agent to start the session...
Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
Standardized protocol for tools. Agents communicate natively with editor, terminals, and database drivers.
Parallel Collaboration
Run multiple agent CLI instances at once in separate workspaces or git branches.
Custom CLI Adapters
Plug in your own private scripts, custom wrappers, or local fine-tuned models in seconds.
Human-in-the-Loop
Centralized permission gateway. You approve folder writes, terminal runs, and network requests.
Specify goals. Watch the AI achieve them.
Define clear success criteria for your tasks. The goal runner drives the loop: writing code, running test suites, and refactoring, while a supervisor agent decides when it meets your standards.
Autonomous Coder-Watcher Loop
Specify a goal and watch the agent code, test, and self-heal automatically.
“Add JWT authentication with database storage.”
Connect an agent to start the session...
Milestone checkpoints
Define step-by-step criteria. The agent stays focused on one milestone until it is verified.
Headless Agent Supervisor
A separate supervisor agent monitors terminal output and file changes to judge criteria completion.
Self-healing debug loop
If a compiler or test run fails, the agent reads the error logs and automatically edits the code to fix it.
Zero user prompts
Runs in the background without needing constant steering. Sit back and watch the green ticks light up.
Run AI tasks on a cron schedule — controlled via Telegram.
A cron-based task runner built in. Schedule agent sessions to fire on any cron expression, or run them on demand. Generate cron expressions from plain language, and connect a Telegram bridge to trigger tasks and get notified when they finish.
Scheduled background runs
Schedule agent sessions to run in the background on cron expressions — no browser needed.
Telegram Bot Bridge
Get notifications and trigger tasks directly from your phone via Telegram.
AI cron generation
Describe a schedule in plain language and let AI turn it into a valid cron expression.
Manual or automated
Fire a task on demand when you need it, or let it run automatically on its schedule.
Stop alt-tabbing to TablePlus. Your AI can read the DB, you can edit it — same app.
6 drivers (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis), encrypted backups, ER diagrams, SSH tunnels. Safe Mode auto-escalates on production. The AI can query your schema directly.
6 Supported Drivers
Native compatibility with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MongoDB, and Redis.
Visual Table Inspector & Editor
Browse tables, search records, and edit values directly within the workspace.
AI Schema Reader & Auto-Query
Let AI agents read database schemas, draft queries, and run safe migration scripts.
Secure Tunneling & Safety
Integrates SSH Tunneling, encrypted connection details, and production Safe Mode protection.
A Postman-compatible HTTP client, in the same window as your code.
Build collections, folders, and requests; switch environments and secret variables; stream responses over SSE with in-flight cancellation. Import from curl or a Postman Collection v2.1, export back out — no separate API tool needed.
Postman-compatible
Import and export Postman Collection v2.1 and environments. curl import too — paste a command and it becomes a request.
Collections & environments
Multiple workspaces, a Collections → Folders → Requests tree, plus environment variables and secret variables stored separately.
SSE-streaming execution
Stream status, headers, body, and timing in real time; cancel any in-flight request at will.
Per-workspace history
The last 500 requests per workspace are kept, with variables resolved at send time.
Reach a local dev server or admin UI through the workspace itself.
A built-in reverse proxy at `/fw/{port}` forwards HTTP and WebSocket traffic to any port on the machine running Spec ADE. Preview a dev server, open a database admin UI, or hit a local API through the same host your workspace already runs on — hop-by-hop headers handled correctly.
Built-in reverse proxy
A catch-all `/fw/{port}/{*rest}` handler forwards straight to any port on the machine running Spec ADE — zero extra config.
HTTP + WebSocket
Handles both plain HTTP and WebSocket upgrades, so hot-reloading dev servers keep working through the proxy.
Correct hop-by-hop handling
Filters hop-by-hop headers per RFC 7230 for a transparent proxy that never corrupts keep-alive connections.
Handy when self-hosted
Run Spec ADE on a remote box, then reach that box’s database admin UI or dev server right in your browser.
AI-driven UI prototyping, prompt templates, and asset generation.
Transform wireframes into high-fidelity mockups, generate styled slides, and create custom graphics in a unified workspace. Integrate custom design systems, prompt examples, image templates, and video templates directly connected to your code.
Prompt Examples
A rich library of production-tested prompts for landing pages, slide decks, mobile layouts, and complex interfaces to start designing in seconds.
Design Systems
Synchronize typography, palettes, and custom UI kits so that generated interfaces always align with your design guidelines.
Image Templates
Built-in templates to generate 3D infographics, game illustrations, anime art, and e-commerce live-stream interfaces directly from text prompts.
Video Templates
Create compelling product presentations using AI avatar presenters or sleek motion graphic loop clips to showcase your application.
Everything else built in
No plugins, no install scripts. The rest of the workspace.
