# Technical skills needed

Spec-Up-T is a specialized tool designed to facilitate the creation, management, and rendering of technical specifications in a streamlined manner. Users who intend to leverage Spec-Up-T for their projects must possess a foundational level of technical knowledge to navigate the installation, configuration, and utilization of this tool effectively. This article delves into the technical prerequisites necessary for a user to operate Spec-Up-T competently.
Spec-Up-T is a simple tool designed to facilitate the creation, management, and rendering of technical specifications. Users who intend to leverage Spec-Up-T for their projects must possess this technical knowledge:
Installation, configuration, and utilization of this tool.
This article delves into the technical prerequisites necessary to operate Spec-Up-T competently.

Not everyone needs all the knowledge described here. Different roles are identified.
Each type of user needs only some of the knowledge described here. We distinguish different roles.

## 1

### Familiarity with Node.js and npm
### Node.js and npm

At the core of Spec-Up-T's installation and operation lies the [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) environment, coupled with [npm (Node Package Manager)](https://www.npmjs.com/).

**Required Knowledge:**

- **Installation and Setup:** Users must know how to download and install Node.js, ensuring all relevant dependencies are correctly set up.
- **Command-Line Interface (CLI) Proficiency:** Users should be comfortable using a CLI, as many operations, including installing Spec-Up-T, running npm commands, and managing directories, are executed via terminal commands.
- **Understanding npm Scripts:** Familiarity with npm scripts, such as `npm run install`, `npm run render`, and `npm run dev`, is crucial. These scripts automate various tasks in Spec-Up-T, from installing dependencies to rendering the final HTML output.

### Basic Understanding of File System Navigation and Directory Management
### File System Navigation and Directory Management

Spec-Up-T users need to navigate through the file system, create and manage directories, and understand relative paths. These tasks are fundamental to setting up and maintaining a Spec-Up-T project.

**Required Knowledge:**

- Users should know how to move between directories using the command line (`cd` command).
- Know how to move between directories using the command line. (`cd` command) and create directories (`mkdir`).

## 3

### JSON Configuration Files

The `specs.json` file plays a pivotal role in Spec-Up-T, as it contains configuration details that dictate how the tool generates and outputs the specification documents. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.

It's JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format; it's a lightweight data-interchange format that is doable for humans to read and write.

**Required Knowledge:**

- **Editing JSON Files:** Users must be able to open, read, and edit JSON files to customize their Spec-Up-T setup. This includes setting paths, defining titles, adding logos, and configuring output options.
- **Understanding JSON Structure:** A basic understanding of JSON structure—such as key-value pairs, arrays, and nested objects—is necessary to modify the `specs.json` file effectively. This knowledge enables users to customize their specifications to fit their project requirements.

### Basic Web Development Concepts
### Web Development

Since Spec-Up-T ultimately renders HTML files that are intended for web viewing, a foundational understanding of web development is beneficial.

**Required Knowledge:**

- **Browser Usage:** Users should be familiar with opening files in a web browser, either by double-clicking the `index.html` file in a file manager or by navigating to the file via the browser’s menu.
- **Browser Usage:** Use a web browser to open the `index.html` file.

### Version Control and Automation
### GitHub Version Control and GitHub Actions Automation

Spec-Up-T integrates well with version control systems like Git and offers automation capabilities via GitHub Actions. This allows users to automate the rendering and deployment of their specifications.
Automate the rendering and deployment of your specifications.

**Required Knowledge:**

- **Basic Git Operations:** Users should understand how to commit changes, push them to a remote repository, and manage branches within a Git version control system. This is crucial for maintaining a history of changes and collaborating with others.
- **GitHub Actions:** Familiarity with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) tools is beneficial for users who want to automate the rendering process. This knowledge allows users to set up workflows that trigger rendering and deployment automatically upon certain events, such as commits or pull requests.
