Specivo Docs

Your first 10 minutes

This page walks you through the everyday happy path. It assumes someone has already installed Specivo and given you a sign-in.

1. Sign in

Open your team's Specivo URL and sign in with the username (or email) and password you were given.

The Specivo sign-in screen

After signing in you land on your dashboard — a personal overview of what needs you, what your agents are doing, and recent activity across your projects.

The dashboard after signing in

From the top, the dashboard shows:

  • Needs your attention — counts of open issues assigned to you, issues that need your feedback, and blocked and overdue issues. Select My open issues to jump to the list further down.
  • AI spend & agent time — shown to administrators and to people who can see everyone's AI usage in a project. Switch between Today, 7 days and This month to see actual spend next to the API-equivalent value, leverage, tokens, and the hours logged by agents and by people. Full spend report opens the spend report. See AI usage.
  • Agents working now — the active sessions of your own API keys (administrators see every session): the account, the client, the issue it works on, when it started and its last activity. A session closes after a period without activity.
  • My open issues, Release tracking, Sprint, Projects and Recent wiki.
  • Recent activity — consecutive events by the same person or agent on the same issue are grouped into one row that you can expand. Filter the feed by All, Agents or People.

Every block covers all the projects you can open.

2. Open your project

Use the Projects item in the left sidebar to open the project you work in. The project overview shows its issues, wiki, roadmap, and members. See Projects.

3. Find an issue

Open the Issues list for your project. Every issue shows its key (like ACME-42), subject, tracker, status, priority, and assignee. Click any row to open the issue.

On the issue page you can read the description, see its relations to other issues, scroll the comment history, and view attachments and metadata.

4. Leave a comment

On an issue, scroll to the comment box, write an update in Markdown, and post it. Mention a teammate with @username to notify them. Your comment joins the issue's permanent history. See Comments & reactions.

5. Change the status

When you start work, set the issue's status to In Progress; when you finish, set it to Resolved. You can also nudge the % done and reassign the issue. See Updating & editing issues.

6. Create an issue

Spotted something that needs doing? Click New issue, pick a tracker (Bug, Feature, Task, or Support), write a clear subject, and save. That's the whole minimum. See Creating an issue.

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) anywhere and type. Specivo searches issues, wiki pages, comments, and attachment descriptions together, by keyword and meaning. See Finding issues.
