/ Spikes

The feedback loop for AI-assisted building

AI can build a prototype in an hour.
Turning feedback into action is still the slow part.

Quick Start · CLI Reference · Widget Docs · Hosted Dashboard · Self-Hosting

What Is This?

Spikes is a feedback tool for AI-assisted development. It lets reviewers leave targeted feedback directly on web pages — no screenshots, no "that button over there", no lost context.

Click any element. Rate it. Comment. Spikes captures the exact CSS selector, bounding box, and page context. Your AI agent gets structured JSON it can act on immediately.

No accounts required. No build step. Works on file://, localhost, anywhere.

Quick Start

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://spikes.sh/install.sh | sh
# Or: cargo install spikes

2. Initialize your project

spikes init                     # Defaults to hosted spikes.sh
# spikes init --self-host       # Opt out — scaffold a self-hosted config instead

spikes init creates .spikes/config.toml with a [remote] section pointing at https://spikes.sh by default. Pass --self-host (or answer s at the prompt) to skip the hosted defaults.

3. Add the widget to your HTML

spikes inject ./mockups/        # Injects widget script tag (uses configured endpoint)
spikes serve                    # http://localhost:3847

4. Collect and use feedback

spikes list                     # See all feedback
spikes list --json              # Feed to your agent
spikes list --rating no         # Find problems
spikes hotspots                 # Elements with most feedback
spikes resolve <id>             # Mark items done

CLI Commands

Command	Description
`spikes init`	Create `.spikes/` directory with config (hosted by default; `--self-host` to opt out)
`spikes list`	List feedback (`--json`, `--page`, `--reviewer`, `--rating`, `--unresolved`)
`spikes show <id>`	Show single spike details
`spikes export`	Export to JSON/CSV/JSONL/Cursor/Claude context
`spikes hotspots`	Elements with most feedback
`spikes reviewers`	List all reviewers
`spikes inject <dir>`	Add/remove widget from HTML files (`--endpoint <url>` overrides the configured endpoint)
`spikes serve`	Local dev server (`--port`, `--marked`, `--cors-allow-origin`)
`spikes mcp serve`	Start MCP server for AI agent integration
`spikes pull/push/sync`	Sync with remote endpoint
`spikes share <dir>`	Upload to spikes.sh for instant sharing
`spikes login/logout/whoami`	Authentication management
`spikes upgrade/billing`	Pro tier subscription via Stripe
`spikes deploy cloudflare`	Scaffold self-hosted Worker + D1

All commands support --json for scripting. See full CLI reference.

Viewing spikes for a hosted project:

The hosted dashboard at https://spikes.sh/dashboard lists every project you own and lets you drill into individual spikes (filter by page, rating, resolved, toggle resolved inline). Sign in directly in your browser: click Sign in, open the verification page, and confirm via the magic link sent to your email — no CLI required.

You can also hit the JSON API directly with your bearer token ($SPIKES_TOKEN from spikes login):

# GET /me/projects
# List all projects you own (with spike_count + last_activity)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPIKES_TOKEN" \
  https://spikes.sh/me/projects

# GET /me/projects/:key
