From 4c8124d22bf4f3b9ac792a7c34ef673ef62aa261 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manfred Riem <15701806+mnriem@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:52:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(extensions): address PR review on assess extension Resolve review feedback on github/spec-kit#3568: - catalog.json: bump top-level updated_at to this revision (2026-07-17) - extension.yml + catalog.json: shorten the assess description to under the documented 200-char manifest limit (kept aligned across both) - extension.yml: make the before_specify hook prompt condition-neutral (it fires on every /speckit.specify, so it must not claim "no assessment found") - intake.md: fix slug normalization to explicitly allow lowercase letters a-z (the old rule permitted only digits and '-', contradicting the offline-mode example) - intake.md + research.md: require a sanitized source URL (strip userinfo and credential/signature query params) instead of persisting a verbatim URL that could leak secrets into project artifacts - decide.md: remove the "trivially small" exception so a go always requires a shaped concept, making verdict behavior deterministic and consistent with the guardrails and README Assisted-by: GitHub Copilot (model: Claude Opus 4.8, supervised) Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 1f25cf9d-b7eb-4b2b-b811-3e91d8db8f6a --- extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.decide.md | 2 +- extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.intake.md | 8 ++++---- extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.research.md | 4 ++-- extensions/assess/extension.yml | 4 ++-- extensions/catalog.json | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.decide.md b/extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.decide.md index 3c9e86ac7..2951a71c8 100644 --- a/extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.decide.md +++ b/extensions/assess/commands/speckit.assess.decide.md @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ Resolve the slug: explicit `slug=…` → conversation context (a slug reported ## Prerequisites - `ASSESS_DIR/problem.md` **MUST** exist (you cannot decide on an undefined problem).
