Quick start
Bring up Spectrace for a real project in about ten minutes — workspace, GitHub connection, first import, first verification.

01
Create a workspace
Sign in at spectrace.io and pick a workspace name — usually your company name. A workspace holds your team, projects, integrations, and audit log.
02
Connect GitHub
From the workspace nav, open Settings → Integrations and click Connect GitHub. Pick the repos Spectrace can read; it never writes to your code.
Spectrace asks for read access to PR diffs and write access to PR comments — nothing else. You can scope to specific repos at any time.

03
Import your first requirements
Drop a PRD, a doc, or paste a chat thread into the import wizard. The AI lifts the requirements, drafts AC, and flags ambiguities for clarification before anything saves.
04
Verify a pull request
Open a PR that references a requirement ID. Spectrace reads the diff, scores it against each AC, and posts a verdict comment — before a human reviewer is paged.
