If you use Windows, open the page in your browser, then look for the latest release or the main app file. Save it to your PC before you run it.
specsmith helps you manage AEE agent sessions, execution profiles, and tool setup in one place. It is built for users who want a clear way to work with:
- agent sessions
- execution profiles
- FPGA and HDL workflows
- tool installs
- LLM providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama
- CLI commands for guided tasks
It brings these parts into one toolkit so you can keep your work organized.
To run specsmith on Windows, you need:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- A stable internet connection
- Enough free disk space for the app and any tools it installs
- Permission to run downloaded files
- A modern browser such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox
If the app asks to install helper tools, allow it to finish. Some functions may need extra components for FPGA, HDL, or model access.

When you start specsmith for the first time, it may ask you to set up a few items:
- choose a working folder
- pick a provider for AI tasks
- allow tool installation
- set paths for HDL or FPGA tools
- select an execution profile
Use the default options if you are not sure. You can change them later.
specsmith includes a tool installer for common setup tasks. This helps you get the right tools without searching for each one by hand.
It can help with:
- command-line tools
- HDL support tools
- FPGA helper tools
- model connectors
- local runtime tools
If a tool install fails, check that you have admin rights on your PC and try again.
Execution profiles let you save how you want specsmith to work. A profile can store settings like:
- which provider to use
- which folder to work in
- which tools are active
- which checks to run
- how strict the session should be
Use one profile for daily work and another for testing. This keeps your setup clean.
Agent sessions help you track work from start to finish. Each session can hold tasks, settings, and progress.
You may use agent sessions to:
- start a new task
- continue an older task
- review what changed
- keep work tied to one profile
- switch between projects
This makes it easier to stay organized when you work on many items.
specsmith also supports FPGA and HDL governance tasks. If you work with hardware design, the app can help you keep rules and checks in one place.
You can use it to:
- manage HDL-related steps
- keep project rules clear
- run checks for setup
- store approved execution paths
- reduce setup errors
This is useful for teams and solo users who want a steady process.
specsmith works with several model providers. You can connect one that fits your setup:
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
- Gemini
- Ollama
Pick the provider you already use. If you use a local model with Ollama, make sure it is running before you start a session.
specsmith includes more than 50 CLI commands for users who want direct control. You do not need to use the command line for basic use, but it can help with:
- starting sessions
- checking status
- managing profiles
- running installs
- viewing logs
- testing settings
If you prefer clicks and menus, start there. If you want repeatable tasks, the CLI can save time.
If this is your first time using specsmith, follow this path:
- Install the app.
- Open it.
- Choose a provider.
- Set your working folder.
- Create one execution profile.
- Run the built-in tool installer.
- Start a small agent session.
- Check that the session runs with no errors.
This gives you a clean base before you try more advanced work.
A simple folder layout can help:

Keep these folders in a place you can find fast, such as Documents or a work drive.
If Windows blocks the app or nothing happens, try these steps:
- Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator.
- Check whether your antivirus moved the file.
- Make sure the file finished downloading.
- Extract the ZIP file if one was used.
- Try a different browser for the download.
- Re-download the file from the page.
- Use one profile per project type.
- Keep your provider key in a safe place.
- Save logs if you need to review a session.
- Use the same folder each time for the same task.
- Start with default settings before you tune anything.
