* Add Spec Scope extension to community catalog
Adds spec-kit-scope: effort estimation and scope tracking from spec artifacts.
4 commands:
- /speckit.scope.estimate — data-driven effort estimation with three-point ranges
- /speckit.scope.compare — side-by-side spec scope comparison
- /speckit.scope.creep — scope creep detection via git history
- /speckit.scope.budget — sprint-ready time budget generation
1 hook: after_specify (auto-estimation)
Turns "how long will this take?" into a data-driven answer.
* Add Spec Changelog extension to community catalog
* Add Spec Changelog extension to community catalog
* fix: drop accidental scope entry, restore Intelligent Agent Orchestrator README row, return Spec Reference Loader to original position
Per Copilot review on PR #2177: this branch is supposed to add only the
Spec Changelog extension. The diff against main also showed (1) a duplicate
'scope' catalog entry, (2) a deletion of the Intelligent Agent Orchestrator
README row, and (3) Spec Reference Loader moved out of alphabetical order.
All three were merge artifacts and have been cleaned up here.

* fix: keep Spec Changelog row alphabetically sorted
Address Copilot review on PR #2177: the Community Extensions table is
sorted alphabetically by display name, and 'Changelog' precedes 'Critique',
'Diagram', 'Orchestrator', and 'Reference', so the Spec Changelog row
belongs right after Ship Release Extension. Move it into its sorted slot
and keep Spec Reference Loader in its original alphabetical position
(between Spec Orchestrator and Spec Refine).
* fix: remove duplicate Spec Reference Loader row from README

* fix(kiro-cli): replace literal $ARGUMENTS with prose fallback
Kiro CLI file-based prompts do not natively substitute any
argument placeholder (kirodotdev/Kiro#4141, kiro.dev/docs/cli
manage-prompts), so the literal "$ARGUMENTS" set in
KiroCliIntegration.registrar_config["args"] reached the model
verbatim and broke the prompt — every parameterized SpecKit
command under Kiro CLI was unusable.
Replace the placeholder with a prose fallback that instructs
the model to take its argument from the user's next message,
mirroring the convention used by other integrations whose
target CLI lacks native argument injection.
Add two regression tests in TestKiroCliIntegration:
- test_rendered_prompts_do_not_contain_raw_arguments
- test_rendered_prompts_contain_kiro_arg_placeholder
and override the inherited test_registrar_config so it does
not require args == "$ARGUMENTS".
Fixes#1926
* test(kiro-cli): tighten args regression guard + document quirk
Address review feedback on PR #2482.
Two changes that bracket the original bug fix from both sides — code AND
documentation:
1. Test layer (Copilot finding at lines 27, 56)
The previous test_registrar_config asserted only that args != "$ARGUMENTS"
and that args is truthy. That would silently pass if a future change
swapped $ARGUMENTS for $INPUT, {{userMessage}}, <args>, or any other
unsubstituted placeholder syntax — defeating the regression guard for
issue #1926.
Replace with a dual-layer guard:
- test_registrar_config_args_is_exact_prose_fallback pins args to the
imported _KIRO_ARG_FALLBACK constant. Wording drift now requires a
deliberate paired commit (production constant + test).
- test_registrar_config_args_does_not_look_like_a_placeholder_token is
an independent regression guard built on a 7-pattern regex set
covering Bash ($X, ${X}, ${X:-default}), Mustache/Handlebars/Jinja
({{X}}, {{{X}}}), Liquid/Jinja control ({% %}), Python str.format /
.NET ({0}, {var}), angle-bracket (<X>), and Windows (%X%). Patterns
are anchored to the full string so legitimate prose mentioning a
placeholder ("the {{magic}} of placeholders") is not flagged.
Also fix the line-56 tautology by importing _KIRO_ARG_FALLBACK directly
into test_rendered_prompts_contain_kiro_arg_placeholder, instead of
reading the constant back from registrar_config["args"]. The test now
verifies the FALLBACK STRING reaches the rendered output, independent
of the integration's own config staying correct.
2. Docs layer (mnriem CHANGES_REQUESTED)
The Kiro CLI row in docs/reference/integrations.md only documented its
alias. Update the notes column to lead with the limitation — Kiro CLI
does not substitute $ARGUMENTS in file-based prompts, so Spec Kit ships
a prose fallback at render time — with inline links to upstream Kiro
"Manage prompts" docs and issue #1926. Style follows the Pi row
("limitation first, alias preserved at end").

* test(presets): silence expected UserWarnings in self-test composition tests
The self-test preset that ships with the repo provides a wrap-strategy
command (speckit.wrap-test) intentionally without a corresponding core
base layer, exercising the 'no base layer' branch of
_reconcile_composed_commands().
Eighteen tests across TestSelfTestPreset and TestPresetSkills install
this preset and trigger an expected UserWarning. Running the suite with
-W error::UserWarning surfaces them as test noise that could obscure
unrelated warnings.
Add class-level pytest.mark.filterwarnings filters to acknowledge the
two known messages ('Cannot compose command speckit.wrap-test' and
'Post-install reconciliation failed for self-test') so other UserWarning
sources still propagate normally.
Fixes#2363
* test(presets): scope filterwarnings to UserWarning category
Address Copilot review on #2373: the previous filterwarnings entries
omitted the warning category, so any warning class with a matching
message would have been silenced. Append :UserWarning to the four
filters so only the deliberately-emitted UserWarnings from
_reconcile_composed_commands() are ignored.
* test(presets): narrow self-test warning filter to install helper only
Address Copilot feedback: the class-level @pytest.mark.filterwarnings on
TestPresetSkills was too broad. The 'Post-install reconciliation failed'
filter could mask real reconciliation regressions, since that warning is
only emitted when _reconcile_composed_commands/_reconcile_skills raises.
Tests in TestPresetSkills already call install_self_test_preset(), which
scopes a narrow filter to the expected wrap-strategy 'Cannot compose'
warning. The class-level filters are redundant for those calls and unsafe
elsewhere, so they are removed.
* test(presets): align TestSelfTestPreset docstring with helper-based filtering
Address Copilot feedback: docstring referred to 'filters above', but the
fix uses warnings.filterwarnings inside install_self_test_preset rather
than class-level decorators. Updated the docstring to describe the actual
mechanism.
* test(presets): remove extra blank line between helper and class (PEP 8)
Address Copilot feedback: PEP 8 expects two blank lines between top-level
definitions; reduce the three blank lines between install_self_test_preset
and TestSelfTestPreset to two.

* fix(catalog): update Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.5.3
v0.5.2 had two real-world install bugs caught when a user tried the
documented commands:
1. README/INSTALL showed 'specify extension add --from URL' (missing
the EXTENSION positional arg). The canonical form is
'specify extension add schedule --from URL'. Fixed in v0.5.3.
2. Release zip was ~5x bigger than peer extensions due to dev cruft
(.github/, tests/, benchmarks/, build metadata). Added .gitattributes
export-ignore in v0.5.3, dropping the zip from 718 KB to 590 KB.
v0.5.3 archive verified HTTP 200, sigstore attestations active.
* fix(catalog): bump Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.5.4
Adds an opt-in after_tasks hook so users get prompted to run the
scheduler immediately after /speckit.tasks, without forcing it.
Mirrors the canonical pattern used by the bundled 'git' extension.
* fix(catalog): bump Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.5.5
Documents the after_tasks hook in README and rewrites the
/speckit.schedule.portfolio command to autodetect the project's
tech stack via solver.autodetect, then refine interactively
against the matching recipe in docs/portfolio-design.md, instead
of starting from a blank slate.
* fix(catalog): bump Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.6.0
State now encapsulated under .specify/, /speckit.schedule.run is
idempotent with auto-bootstrap, and portfolio detection is
AI-aware (reads .specify/integration.json and discovers the user's
fleet from the canonical location for whichever spec-kit AI
assistant they chose: claude, copilot, cursor-agent, gemini, or any
of the other 26 supported integrations).
* fix(catalog): bump Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.6.1
Per-AI portfolio templates with verified May 2026 GA models
(gpt-5.5 flagship, claude-opus-4-7, gemini-2.5-flash). Critical
price unit fix (cost_aware reported $ figures 1000× inflated
in v0.6.0). Plus calibration feedback loop and inline summary.
* fix(readme): add Spec Kit Schedule row to Community Extensions table
Per Copilot review on PR #2473: the publishing guide requires an
accepted submission to update both extensions/catalog.community.json
AND the root README's Community Extensions table. Without the README
row the extension wouldn't appear in the primary browsable list.
Inserted alphabetically between 'Spec Diagram' and 'Spec Orchestrator'.
Category: process. Effect: Read+Write.
* fix(catalog): provides.commands 3→4 (schedule only) + bump top-level updated_at
Surgical edit responding to two Copilot review nits on PR #2473.
Previous attempt used str.replace too broadly and was reverted —
this version uses unique anchors to mutate only the schedule
entry and the top-level updated_at field.
1. extensions/catalog.community.json schedule entry had
provides.commands: 3, but the extension exposes 4 commands
(run, portfolio, visualize, calibrate — calibrate was added
in v0.6.0 Build 2 / calibration feedback loop).
2. Top-level catalog updated_at was 2026-05-06T22:28:55Z but
per-entry updated_at for our schedule entry is 2026-05-07.
Since this PR modifies the catalog, the top-level timestamp
advances too.
* fix(catalog): bump Spec Kit Schedule entry to v0.6.2
Adds /speckit.schedule.status (5th command) — self-diagnose
installation state, distinguishes 'expected-missing' (will
bootstrap automatically) from 'missing' (real problem). Closes
the audit-tool false-alarm gap where schedule-config.yml absence
post-install was misread as broken state.

* fix(integration): refresh shared infra on integration switch
* fix(integration): address Copilot review on switch shared-infra refresh
- Clarify install_shared_infra docstring: force overwrites regular files
but always preserves symlinks (safe-destination check refuses to follow).
- Print refresh_hint only for preserved_user_files; skipped_files keeps
the generic remediation. Avoids misleading guidance when files were
merely skipped (not detected as customized).
- Catch ValueError from the safe-destination check and bucket the path
under a new symlinked_files warning instead of aborting the switch.
- Restore templates/constitution-template.md to upstream (drop accidental
leading blank lines).
* fix(integration): narrow symlink bucketing to dedicated exception
Address Copilot feedback on shared_infra.py:305 — _safe_dest_or_bucket
caught any ValueError as 'symlinked', which masked genuine safety errors
(path escape, parent-not-a-directory).
- Introduce SymlinkedSharedPathError(ValueError) raised only by the
symlink-specific branches in _ensure_safe_shared_*().
- _safe_dest_or_bucket() now catches only SymlinkedSharedPathError;
other ValueErrors propagate so the operation aborts with the real
cause instead of being silently bucketed.
- Wrap top-level dest_scripts/dest_variant/dest_templates mkdir calls
in the same bucket helper so a symlinked .specify/scripts or
.specify/templates is preserved with a warning rather than aborting
the switch (matches the documented 'preserve customizations' behavior).
- Update tests to expect the new bucket+warn behavior for leaf-level
symlinked destinations.
* fix(integration): tailor shared-infra warnings and rename preflight test
Address Copilot review on PR #2375:
- skipped_files hint now uses refresh_hint when refresh_managed=True
so integration switch suggests --refresh-shared-infra instead of the
generic init/upgrade flags.
- symlinked-files warning header says "path(s)" rather than "file(s)"
since symlinked directories (e.g. .specify/scripts/bash) are also
bucketed there.
- Rename test_shared_infra_install_preflights_before_writing to
test_shared_infra_install_buckets_unsafe_destinations_and_continues
to match the new bucket-and-continue semantics.
* test: rename symlink bucketing tests to reflect bucket-and-continue behavior
The two file-bucketing tests at line 300/320 were named *_refuses_*, but
the new behavior buckets symlinked file destinations with a warning while
safe destinations in the same install still complete. Rename to
*_buckets_* and update docstrings to match.
The remaining *_refuses_* tests (line 342/362/381) genuinely raise on
symlinked dirs/manifests and keep their names.

* fix: address Copilot review feedback
- Add blank line after __future__ import (PEP 8)
- Remove trailing whitespace at end of lingma/__init__.py
- Bump integrations/catalog.json updated_at timestamp
- Add Lingma to supported agent list in README.md
* fix: address Copilot review feedback (round 4)
- Reword module docstring: Lingma is a brand-new skills-only integration
with no prior command-mode history, so 'deprecated since v0.5.1'
wording (copied from Trae) was misleading
- Remove Lingma from README CLI-tool check list: Lingma is IDE-based
(requires_cli=False) and is explicitly skipped by specify init /
specify check tool detection
* fix(forge): use hyphen notation for command refs in Forge integration
- Add invoke_separator = "-" class attribute to ForgeIntegration so
effective_invoke_separator() returns "-" for shared-template installs
- Add "invoke_separator": "-" to ForgeIntegration.registrar_config so
agents.py CommandRegistrar can resolve refs with the correct separator
- Pass invoke_separator to process_template() in ForgeIntegration.setup()
so all .forge/commands/*.md bodies use /speckit-foo notation
- Replace literal /speckit.specify with __SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__ in
extensions/git/commands/speckit.git.feature.md so every agent resolves
the reference through its own separator
- Apply resolve_command_refs re.sub in agents.py register_commands() after
argument-placeholder substitution so extension commands registered for
Forge get /speckit-foo refs; all other agents continue to get /speckit.foo
Fixes ZSH compatibility: dot-notation command invocations (/speckit.specify)
are misinterpreted by ZSH as file-path operations; hyphen notation
(/speckit-specify) works correctly in all shells.
* fix(agents): propagate invoke_separator from integration class into AGENT_CONFIGS
Skills-based agents (claude, codex, kimi, …) inherit invoke_separator="-"
from SkillsIntegration but do not repeat it in their registrar_config dicts.
_build_agent_configs() was copying registrar_config verbatim, so
register_commands() fell back to "." when resolving __SPECKIT_COMMAND_*__
tokens for those agents — emitting /speckit.specify instead of the correct
/speckit-specify for extension commands like speckit.git.feature.
Fix: after copying registrar_config, inject invoke_separator from the
integration's class attribute when it is not already declared explicitly.
This makes the integration class the single source of truth for all agents,
without requiring each SkillsIntegration subclass to duplicate the field.
Also replace the inline re.sub in register_commands() with a call to
IntegrationBase.resolve_command_refs() (deferred import to avoid the
existing circular dependency) so token-resolution logic is not duplicated.
Adds two tests in test_agent_config_consistency.py:
- test_skills_agents_have_hyphen_invoke_separator_in_agent_configs: asserts
every /SKILL.md agent has invoke_separator="-" in AGENT_CONFIGS.
- test_skills_agent_command_token_resolves_with_hyphen: end-to-end check via
CommandRegistrar that the git extension's speckit.git.feature command is
installed for Claude with /speckit-specify (not /speckit.specify).

Simplify the community catalog submission flow to use issue templates
with manual maintainer review (no automation scripts or workflows).
- Add explicit CODEOWNERS entries for catalog.community.json files so
submissions are automatically assigned to a maintainer for review
- Improve preset submission template:
- Add 'Required Extensions' optional field
- Make 'Templates Provided' optional (supports command-only presets)
- Add 'Number of Scripts' optional field
The existing extension and preset issue templates already collect all
required catalog metadata. Maintainers review submissions and manually
update the catalog JSON files.
