# Requirements and status

## Release status

Specgent is pre\-release\. The distribution version is 0\.3\.0, but no version has been published, so there is no released package and no supported\-version matrix yet\. These pages describe the product as implemented and gated in continuous integration, not as released\.

## Supported platforms

| Requirement | Supported |
| --- | --- |
| Operating system | macOS or Linux |
| Node\.js | 22 \(22\.13 or later\) or 24 |
| Python | 3\.11 to 3\.14 |
| Claude Code | 2\.1\.x |
| Git | required for the workspace |

Windows is not covered, and no Windows claim is made\. Git is required because the workspace scan reads tracked and untracked files and records repository identity\.

Specgent installs into a workspace you already have\. It does not create one, and it writes only inside `.specgent/` and `.claude/`\.

## What local operation covers

“Local” covers four separate properties\. Three hold and one does not\.

| Property | Status | What it means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Local\-first operation | Holds | No account, remote service, daemon, telemetry endpoint or container; runs, evidence and the store are files under the workspace |
| Air\-gapped installation | Holds, with staged inputs | Installable from frozen package caches on a host with no network egress, once its inputs are staged |
| Offline deterministic verification | Holds | The default verification checks take no input from outside the repository beyond the toolchain and a short list of declared sites |
| Offline model execution | Does not hold | Model reasoning belongs to the Claude Code host, and Specgent supplies no local inference provider |

The deterministic engine and validation run with no network, but end\-to\-end authoring is not established offline, because the authoring steps depend on the model host\.
