Reframe the docs landing hero and "Make it your own" pillar to inject
the "harness" and "SDLC" framing while keeping SDD front and center:
- Hero: describe Spec Kit as an extensible, intent-driven harness that
pushes any coding agent beyond code, across the SDLC or any business
process; tagline now contrasts step-by-step vs automated-workflow runs.
- "Make it your own": explain the process lives in swappable building
blocks (not locked to SDD or even software) and add a real non-software
preset (Fiction Book Writing) to back the broadened scope.
- Community blurb: drop "development" so "entirely new processes" matches
the wider positioning.

* docs: reframe SDD positioning, modernize install, and de-duplicate walkthroughs
Reframe the landing page so Spec Kit reads as a toolkit for Spec-Driven
Development *or your own process* with any AI coding agent, and correct
stale claims: context files and git are now opt-in extensions, and the
install path uses PyPI (specify-cli). Generalize the landing cards to
cover bundles and catalog hosting across all primitives.
Restructure the Quick Start into a lean, guided Taskify walkthrough with
one command per step (install as a prerequisite, Steps 1-9 aligned with
the Full path), and extract the deep per-command detail into two new
reference pages: reference/agentic-sdd.md (the /speckit.* SDD process)
and reference/agentic-bugfix.md (the bug extension). Retitle the
reference overview to "Reference" and group these agentic processes in
their own section, distinct from CLI-managed primitives.
Remove the duplicated "Detailed Process" walkthrough from README.md
(and its TOC entry), repointing readers to the docs-site Quick Start
while keeping the concise "Get Started" section as the front door.

* docs: address review feedback on accuracy and scope
- quickstart: correct the git/feature note — resolution reads
.specify/feature.json / SPECIFY_FEATURE, not the checked-out branch,
so switching branches alone does not switch the active feature.
- quickstart + agentic-sdd: add an invocation-style note ($speckit-* for
Codex/ZCode, /skill:speckit-* for Kimi) so the agent-neutral commands
are executable everywhere.
- agentic-sdd: fix the tasks phase structure to match the generator
(Setup, Foundational, one phase per user story, final Polish; tests
optional within user-story phases).
- index: soften the catalog claim (catalogs curate discovery, not an
install allow-list) and relabel the "CLI reference" link to "Reference"
to match the retitled, broader page.

Copilot-Session: 9d9232f8-ece4-4aa6-a9bd-ff8d74ca1c89
* docs: correct feature-resolution override and add bug-command invocation note
- quickstart: the previous fix named the wrong override. The active
feature *directory* resolves from SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY then
.specify/feature.json; SPECIFY_FEATURE only supplies the identifier
after a directory is resolved. Rewrite the note to point users at
.specify/feature.json / SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY, and clarify the git
extension's branches don't by themselves change the active feature.
- agentic-bugfix: add the same invocation-style caveat as the SDD
reference ($speckit-bug-* for Codex/ZCode, /skill:speckit-bug-* for
Kimi).

Copilot-Session: 9d9232f8-ece4-4aa6-a9bd-ff8d74ca1c89
* docs: tighten bug-command contracts and drop numbered-phase examples
- agentic-bugfix: don't overstate overwrite protection — an interactive
run can overwrite an existing assessment after confirmation; only
automated mode refuses and picks a new slug. Correct the verify verdict
to the schema's verified/partial/failed (not-run is a per-check status);
an unexercised reproduction downgrades the result to partial.
- agentic-sdd: the implement examples labeled scoping "Phase 1/2", but
the tasks contract reserves Phase 1 for Setup and Phase 2 for
Foundational (user stories start at Phase 3). Scope by phase name and
user-story content instead to avoid mis-scoping execution.

* feat: add Zed integration
* fix: update integrations stats grid to 31 for consistency
* fix: address Copilot review feedback
- Remove non-actionable --skills flag from ZedIntegration (Zed is always
skills-based, like Agy)
- Align zed_skill_mode predicate with ai_skills for consistency across
init output and hook rendering
- Consolidate claude/cursor/zed slash-skill return blocks in
_render_hook_invocation to reduce duplication
- Override test_options_include_skills_flag for Zed (no --skills flag)
* Potential fix for pull request finding
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: address Copilot review round 2
- Make zed_skill_mode unconditional in hook rendering (Zed is always
skills-based, no --skills option)
- Add test_init_persists_ai_skills_for_zed that exercises the actual
CLI init path and verifies HookExecutor renders /speckit-plan
without manual init-options manipulation
* Potential fix for pull request finding
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: address copilot review feedback for zed integration
- Update integration count from 31 to 33 in docs/index.md (32 integrations + Generic)
- Make zed_skill_mode unconditional to match extensions.py behavior
- Consolidate slash-skill integrations into a set for consistency
- Move os import to module level in test_integration_zed.py
* fix: refine slash-skill logic and ai-skills validation
- Fix slash-skill integrations: Claude/Cursor require ai_skills=true; Zed/Agy/Devin are always skills
- Allow --ai-skills with --integration (not just --ai) to fix validation error
* fix: remove unused variables and update ai-skills help text
- Add agy_skill_mode and devin_skill_mode variables to fix F841 lint error
- Use all skill mode variables in the slash-skill conditional check
- Update --ai-skills help text to reflect it works with --integration too
* fix: add trae_skill_mode to hook invocation for consistency
Trae is a SkillsIntegration like Zed/Agy/Devin, so it should also be treated
as always-skills-based in hook invocation rendering.
* fix: make Agy always skills-based for consistency
AgyIntegration is a SkillsIntegration subclass with no --skills option,
so it should be treated as always skills-based (like Zed, Devin, Trae).
This aligns init.py skill mode detection with extensions.py hook rendering.
* fix: gate agy_skill_mode and refactor _render_hook_invocation to use sets
Addressed Copilot review comments:
- Restored _is_skills_integration guard on agy_skill_mode in init.py
to be defensive about runtime integration type.
- Refactored _render_hook_invocation() in extensions.py to use
always_slash/conditional_slash frozensets instead of individual
per-agent booleans, eliminating unused variables (F841) and making
it harder for conditions to drift between integrations.
- Centralized slash-skill determination so adding a new unconditional
slash-skill integration is a one-key addition.
* fix: address latest Copilot review comments
- Added copilot to CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS for consistent
hook invocation rendering with init.py
- Moved always_slash/conditional_slash frozensets to module
scope to avoid per-call reallocation
- Replaced manual os.chdir() with monkeypatch.chdir() in test
- Overrode test_options_include_skills_flag for Zed (no --skills)
* fix: address latest Copilot review comments
- Removed redundant local import yaml in _register_extension_skills
(yaml is already imported at module scope)
- Split --ai-skills usage hint into two separate print statements
for better readability
- Changed integrations count from '33' to '30+' to avoid future drift
* fix: re-add _is_skills_integration definition lost in merge
The _is_skills_integration variable was accidentally dropped during the
web UI merge resolution of upstream/main's removal of legacy --ai flags.
Re-added the definition via isinstance(resolved_integration, SkillsIntegration)
check so that skill-mode booleans work correctly.
* fix: gate zed_skill_mode on _is_skills_integration for consistency
Aligns zed_skill_mode with the other skills-based agents (codex, claude,
cursor-agent, copilot) which all use _is_skills_integration gating.
Since ZedIntegration extends SkillsIntegration, behavior is unchanged.
* fix: remove unused claude_skill_mode and cursor_skill_mode locals in _render_hook_invocation
These variables became unused after the refactor to ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS /
CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS sets. Claude and Cursor-Agent are now handled by the
CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS path, so the separate boolean locals are dead code.
Fixes ruff F841 and addresses Copilot review feedback that was repeated across
multiple review rounds.
* fix: align agy/trae invocation format in init next-steps with hook rendering and build_command_invocation
- Moved agy and trae from '-<name>' (dollar/Codex format) to
'/speckit-<name>' (slash format) in _display_cmd() to match:
- HookExecutor._render_hook_invocation() (ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS for trae,
CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS for agy)
- SkillsIntegration.build_command_invocation() (default: /speckit-<name>)
- The '$' prefix is specific to Codex; all other skills agents use '/'.
* fix: address Copilot review comments on hook invocation consistency
- Add is_slash_skills_agent() helper to extensions.py to centralize the
agent-to-invocation-format mapping, reducing drift risk between
HookExecutor._render_hook_invocation() and init.py _display_cmd()
- Use the shared helper in both locations; init.py now imports and
delegates to is_slash_skills_agent() instead of maintaining its own
per-agent boolean matrix
- Fix test_hooks_render_skill_invocation to use ai_skills=False,
proving Zed renders /speckit-<name> unconditionally
- Add parameterized TestSlashSkillsSets covering all agents in
ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS and CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS with ai_skills
both true and false
* fix: address Copilot review comments on type safety and test API
- Make is_slash_skills_agent() accept str | None to match its call sites
(init_options.get("ai") can return None)
- Refactor TestSlashSkillsSets to use public execute_hook() API instead of
private _render_hook_invocation() method
* fix: address Copilot review comments on typing and naming clarity
- Add from __future__ import annotations to extensions.py so PEP 604
unions (str | None) are safe regardless of Python version
- Add clarifying _ai_skills_enabled local variable in init.py's
_display_cmd() to make the semantic meaning explicit when passing it
to is_slash_skills_agent()
* fix: move invocation-style logic into shared _invocation_style module
- Extract ALWAYS_SLASH_AGENTS, CONDITIONAL_SLASH_AGENTS, and
is_slash_skills_agent() from extensions.py into new _invocation_style.py
module, eliminating the awkward init.py -> extensions.py import
dependency for invocation-style decision logic
- Both HookExecutor._render_hook_invocation() and init.py _display_cmd()
now import from the shared module instead of one subsystem importing
from the other
- Revert /SKILL.md change: the leading slash is semantically significant
(path component vs filename suffix)
* fix: add None guard before i.options() in test_options_include_skills_flag
get_integration() returns IntegrationBase | None, so i.options()
is a type error without a None check.
* fix: override test_options_include_skills_flag for Zed (always skills, no --skills flag)
Zed is always skills-based and doesn't expose a --skills option.
Override the inherited base test to assert --skills is absent.
* fix: rename test and skip inherited test_options_include_skills_flag for Zed
- Skip inherited test_options_include_skills_flag (not applicable — Zed
is always skills-based with no --skills flag)
- Add test_options_do_not_include_skills_flag with correct name matching
the assertion (--skills is absent)
* fix: add defensive non-string check in is_slash_skills_agent
Reject non-string values for selected_ai to prevent TypeError from
set membership checks when persisted init-options contain corrupted
data (e.g. list or dict instead of string).

Add automated markdown linting to ensure consistent formatting across
all markdown files in the repository.
Changes:
- Add .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc configuration
- Create .github/workflows/lint.yml for CI/CD integration
- Fix all 908 existing markdown errors across 27 files
- Enforce ATX-style headings and asterisk emphasis
- Set consistent 2-space list indentation
This prevents markdown errors after project initialization and
maintains high documentation quality standards.
## Problem
The links to the contributing and support guides at the bottom of [the docs site home page](https://github.github.com/spec-kit/index.html) currently take you to a 404 page.
## Solution
Update the links to the correct URLs, pointing to the guides that are currently in the repo's root directory rather than within the `docs` folder.
