What system requirements are needed for Codev?

Codev requires Node.js (version 18 or higher), git (2.5+), an authenticated GitHub CLI (gh), and at least one AI CLI like Claude, Gemini, or Codex.

Will running codev update overwrite my custom project specifications?

No. The update command is designed to only refresh framework files like protocols and skills. It never modifies user-generated data such as specs, plans, or reviews.

How does Codev handle merge conflicts during framework adoption?

If Codev detects existing configuration files, it creates '.codev-new' versions and can automatically launch Claude to help merge the differences safely.

What is the difference between codev init and codev adopt?

The 'init' command creates a brand new project directory from scratch, whereas 'adopt' is used to integrate the Codev framework into an existing project root.
