fix: pin click>=8.1 to prevent Python 3.14/Homebrew env isolation crash (#1648)

* fix: pin click>=8.1 to prevent Python 3.14/Homebrew env isolation failures

Fixes #1631. When uv installs specify-cli on macOS with Homebrew Python
3.14, the virtual environment can fail to fully isolate from the system
site-packages, causing Homebrew's click to be loaded instead of the one
uv installed. If that system click is older than 8.1, it lacks the `ctx`
keyword argument in `ParamType.get_metavar()`, which typer 0.24.0 requires,
resulting in:

  TypeError: ParamType.get_metavar() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ctx'

Adding an explicit `click>=8.1` dependency gives uv a hard constraint so
the correct version is always resolved and installed.

+
+## About Spec Kit and Specify
+
+**GitHub Spec Kit** is a comprehensive toolkit for implementing Spec-Driven Development (SDD) - a methodology that emphasizes creating clear specifications before implementation. The toolkit includes templates, scripts, and workflows that guide development teams through a structured approach to building software.
+
+**Specify CLI** is the command-line interface that bootstraps projects with the Spec Kit framework. It sets up the necessary directory structures, templates, and AI agent integrations to support the Spec-Driven Development workflow.
+
+The toolkit supports multiple AI coding assistants, allowing teams to use their preferred tools while maintaining consistent project structure and development practices.
+
+---
+
+## General practices
+
+- Any changes to `__init__.py` for the Specify CLI require a version rev in `pyproject.toml` and addition of entries to `CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+## Adding New Agent Support
+
+This section explains how to add support for new AI agents/assistants to the Specify CLI. Use this guide as a reference when integrating new AI tools into the Spec-Driven Development workflow.
+
+### Overview
+
+Specify supports multiple AI agents by generating agent-specific command files and directory structures when initializing projects. Each agent has its own conventions for:
+
+- **Command file formats** (Markdown, TOML, etc.)
+- **Directory structures** (`.claude/commands/`, `.windsurf/workflows/`, etc.)
+- **Command invocation patterns** (slash commands, CLI tools, etc.)
+- **Argument passing conventions** (`$ARGUMENTS`, `{{args}}`, etc.)
+
+### Current Supported Agents
+
+| Agent                      | Directory              | Format   | CLI Tool        | Description                 |

+### Step-by-Step Integration Guide
+
+Follow these steps to add a new agent (using a hypothetical new agent as an example):
+
+#### 1. Add to AGENT_CONFIG
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Use the actual CLI tool name as the key, not a shortened version.
+
+Add the new agent to the `AGENT_CONFIG` dictionary in `src/specify_cli/__init__.py`. This is the **single source of truth** for all agent metadata:
+
+```python
+AGENT_CONFIG = {
+    # ... existing agents ...
+    "new-agent-cli": {  # Use the ACTUAL CLI tool name (what users type in terminal)
+        "name": "New Agent Display Name",
+        "folder": ".newagent/",  # Directory for agent files
+        "install_url": "https://example.com/install",  # URL for installation docs (or None if IDE-based)
+        "requires_cli": True,  # True if CLI tool required, False for IDE-based agents
+    },
+}
+```
+
+**Key Design Principle**: The dictionary key should match the actual executable name that users install. For example:
+
+- ✅ Use `"cursor-agent"` because the CLI tool is literally called `cursor-agent`
+- ❌ Don't use `"cursor"` as a shortcut if the tool is `cursor-agent`
+
+This eliminates the need for special-case mappings throughout the codebase.
+
+**Field Explanations**:
+
+- `name`: Human-readable display name shown to users
+- `folder`: Directory where agent-specific files are stored (relative to project root)
+- `install_url`: Installation documentation URL (set to `None` for IDE-based agents)
+- `requires_cli`: Whether the agent requires a CLI tool check during initialization
+
+#### 2. Update CLI Help Text
+
+Update the `--ai` parameter help text in the `init()` command to include the new agent:
+
+```python
+ai_assistant: str = typer.Option(None, "--ai", help="AI assistant to use: claude, gemini, copilot, cursor-agent, qwen, opencode, codex, windsurf, kilocode, auggie, codebuddy, new-agent-cli, or q"),
+```
+
+Also update any function docstrings, examples, and error messages that list available agents.
+
+#### 3. Update README Documentation
+
+Update the **Supported AI Agents** section in `README.md` to include the new agent:
+
+- Add the new agent to the table with appropriate support level (Full/Partial)
+- Include the agent's official website link
+- Add any relevant notes about the agent's implementation
+- Ensure the table formatting remains aligned and consistent
+
+#### 4. Update Release Package Script
+
+Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh`:
+
+##### Add to ALL_AGENTS array
+
+```bash
+ALL_AGENTS=(claude gemini copilot cursor-agent qwen opencode windsurf q)
+```
+
+##### Add case statement for directory structure
+
+```bash
+case $agent in
+  # ... existing cases ...
+  windsurf)
+    mkdir -p "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows"
+    generate_commands windsurf md "\$ARGUMENTS" "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows" "$script" ;;
+esac
+```
+
+#### 4. Update GitHub Release Script
+
+Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-github-release.sh` to include the new agent's packages:
+
+```bash
+gh release create "$VERSION" \
+  # ... existing packages ...
+  .genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-sh-"$VERSION".zip \
+  .genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-ps-"$VERSION".zip \
+  # Add new agent packages here
+```
+
+#### 5. Update Agent Context Scripts
+
+##### Bash script (`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`)
+
+Add file variable:
+
+```bash
+WINDSURF_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md"
+```
+
+Add to case statement:
+
+```bash
+case "$AGENT_TYPE" in
+  # ... existing cases ...
+  windsurf) update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf" ;;
+  "")
+    # ... existing checks ...
+    [ -f "$WINDSURF_FILE" ] && update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf";
+    # Update default creation condition
+    ;;
+esac
+```
+
+##### PowerShell script (`scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1`)
+
+Add file variable:
+
+```powershell
+$windsurfFile = Join-Path $repoRoot '.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md'
+```
+
+Add to switch statement:
+
+```powershell
+switch ($AgentType) {
+    # ... existing cases ...
+    'windsurf' { Update-AgentFile $windsurfFile 'Windsurf' }
+    '' {
+        foreach ($pair in @(
+            # ... existing pairs ...
+            @{file=$windsurfFile; name='Windsurf'}
+        )) {
+            if (Test-Path $pair.file) { Update-AgentFile $pair.file $pair.name }
+        }
+        # Update default creation condition
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 6. Update CLI Tool Checks (Optional)
+
+For agents that require CLI tools, add checks in the `check()` command and agent validation:
+
+```python
+# In check() command
+tracker.add("windsurf", "Windsurf IDE (optional)")
+windsurf_ok = check_tool_for_tracker("windsurf", "https://windsurf.com/", tracker)
+
+# In init validation (only if CLI tool required)
+elif selected_ai == "windsurf":
+    if not check_tool("windsurf", "Install from: https://windsurf.com/"):
+        console.print("[red]Error:[/red] Windsurf CLI is required for Windsurf projects")
+        agent_tool_missing = True
+```
+
+**Note**: CLI tool checks are now handled automatically based on the `requires_cli` field in AGENT_CONFIG. No additional code changes needed in the `check()` or `init()` commands - they automatically loop through AGENT_CONFIG and check tools as needed.
+
+## Important Design Decisions
+
+### Using Actual CLI Tool Names as Keys
+
+**CRITICAL**: When adding a new agent to AGENT_CONFIG, always use the **actual executable name** as the dictionary key, not a shortened or convenient version.
+
+**Why this matters:**
+
+- The `check_tool()` function uses `shutil.which(tool)` to find executables in the system PATH
+- If the key doesn't match the actual CLI tool name, you'll need special-case mappings throughout the codebase
+- This creates unnecessary complexity and maintenance burden
+
+**Example - The Cursor Lesson:**
+
+❌ **Wrong approach** (requires special-case mapping):
+
+```python
+AGENT_CONFIG = {
+    "cursor": {  # Shorthand that doesn't match the actual tool
+        "name": "Cursor",
+        # ...
+    }
+}
+
+# Then you need special cases everywhere:
+cli_tool = agent_key
+if agent_key == "cursor":
+    cli_tool = "cursor-agent"  # Map to the real tool name
+```
+
+✅ **Correct approach** (no mapping needed):
+
+```python
+AGENT_CONFIG = {
+    "cursor-agent": {  # Matches the actual executable name
+        "name": "Cursor",
+        # ...
+    }
+}
+
+# No special cases needed - just use agent_key directly!
+```
+
+**Benefits of this approach:**
+
+- Eliminates special-case logic scattered throughout the codebase
+- Makes the code more maintainable and easier to understand
+- Reduces the chance of bugs when adding new agents
+- Tool checking "just works" without additional mappings
+
+#### 7. Update Devcontainer files (Optional)
+
+For agents that have VS Code extensions or require CLI installation, update the devcontainer configuration files:
+
+##### VS Code Extension-based Agents
+
+For agents available as VS Code extensions, add them to `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "customizations": {
+    "vscode": {
+      "extensions": [
+        // ... existing extensions ...
+        // [New Agent Name]
+        "[New Agent Extension ID]"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+##### CLI-based Agents
+
+For agents that require CLI tools, add installation commands to `.devcontainer/post-create.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+# Existing installations...
+
+echo -e "\n🤖 Installing [New Agent Name] CLI..."
+# run_command "npm install -g [agent-cli-package]@latest" # Example for node-based CLI
+# or other installation instructions (must be non-interactive and compatible with Linux Debian "Trixie" or later)...
+echo "✅ Done"
+
+```
+
+**Quick Tips:**
+
+- **Extension-based agents**: Add to the `extensions` array in `devcontainer.json`
+- **CLI-based agents**: Add installation scripts to `post-create.sh`
+- **Hybrid agents**: May require both extension and CLI installation
+- **Test thoroughly**: Ensure installations work in the devcontainer environment
+
+## Agent Categories
+
+### CLI-Based Agents
+
+Require a command-line tool to be installed:
+
+- **Claude Code**: `claude` CLI
+- **Gemini CLI**: `gemini` CLI
+- **Cursor**: `cursor-agent` CLI
+- **Qwen Code**: `qwen` CLI
+- **opencode**: `opencode` CLI
+- **Amazon Q Developer CLI**: `q` CLI
+- **CodeBuddy CLI**: `codebuddy` CLI
+- **Qoder CLI**: `qoder` CLI
+- **Amp**: `amp` CLI
+- **SHAI**: `shai` CLI
+
+### IDE-Based Agents
+
+Work within integrated development environments:
+
+- **GitHub Copilot**: Built into VS Code/compatible editors
+- **Windsurf**: Built into Windsurf IDE
+- **IBM Bob**: Built into IBM Bob IDE
+
+## Command File Formats
+
+### Markdown Format
+
+Used by: Claude, Cursor, opencode, Windsurf, Amazon Q Developer, Amp, SHAI, IBM Bob
+
+**Standard format:**
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: "Command description"
+---
+
+Command content with {SCRIPT} and $ARGUMENTS placeholders.
+```
+
+**GitHub Copilot Chat Mode format:**
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: "Command description"
+mode: speckit.command-name
+---
+
+Command content with {SCRIPT} and $ARGUMENTS placeholders.
+```
+
+### TOML Format
+
+Used by: Gemini, Qwen
+
+```toml
+description = "Command description"
+
+prompt = """
+Command content with {SCRIPT} and {{args}} placeholders.
+"""
+```
+
+## Directory Conventions
+
+- **CLI agents**: Usually `.<agent-name>/commands/`
+- **IDE agents**: Follow IDE-specific patterns:
+  - Copilot: `.github/agents/`
+  - Cursor: `.cursor/commands/`
+  - Windsurf: `.windsurf/workflows/`
+
+## Argument Patterns
+
+Different agents use different argument placeholders:
+
+- **Markdown/prompt-based**: `$ARGUMENTS`
+- **TOML-based**: `{{args}}`
+- **Script placeholders**: `{SCRIPT}` (replaced with actual script path)
+- **Agent placeholders**: `__AGENT__` (replaced with agent name)
+
+## Testing New Agent Integration
+
+1. **Build test**: Run package creation script locally
+2. **CLI test**: Test `specify init --ai <agent>` command
+3. **File generation**: Verify correct directory structure and files
+4. **Command validation**: Ensure generated commands work with the agent
+5. **Context update**: Test agent context update scripts
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Using shorthand keys instead of actual CLI tool names**: Always use the actual executable name as the AGENT_CONFIG key (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). This prevents the need for special-case mappings throughout the codebase.
+2. **Forgetting update scripts**: Both bash and PowerShell scripts must be updated when adding new agents.
+3. **Incorrect `requires_cli` value**: Set to `True` only for agents that actually have CLI tools to check; set to `False` for IDE-based agents.
+4. **Wrong argument format**: Use correct placeholder format for each agent type (`$ARGUMENTS` for Markdown, `{{args}}` for TOML).
+5. **Directory naming**: Follow agent-specific conventions exactly (check existing agents for patterns).
+6. **Help text inconsistency**: Update all user-facing text consistently (help strings, docstrings, README, error messages).
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+When adding new agents:
+
+- Consider the agent's native command/workflow patterns
+- Ensure compatibility with the Spec-Driven Development process
+- Document any special requirements or limitations
+- Update this guide with lessons learned
+- Verify the actual CLI tool name before adding to AGENT_CONFIG
+
+---
+
+*This documentation should be updated whenever new agents are added to maintain accuracy and completeness.*

-## [Unreleased]
+## [0.1.2] - 2026-02-20
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Python 3.14 / Homebrew compatibility**: Added explicit `click>=8.1` dependency so the resolver always selects a Click version compatible with Python 3.14 and avoids errors such as `TypeError: ParamType.get_metavar() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ctx'` when an older Click would otherwise be used. Note that broader uv/Homebrew environment isolation or `sys.path` bleed issues (see [#1631](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/1631)) may still require environment-level workarounds.
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-13
+
+### Added
+
+- **Agent Skills Installation**: New `--ai-skills` CLI option to install Prompt.MD templates as agent skills following [agentskills.io specification](https://agentskills.io/specification)
+  - Skills are installed to agent-specific directories (e.g., `.claude/skills/`, `.gemini/skills/`, `.github/skills/`)
+  - Codex uses `.agents/skills/` following Codex agent directory conventions
+  - Default fallback directory is `.agents/skills/` for agents without a specific mapping
+  - Requires `--ai` flag to be specified
+  - Converts all 9 spec-kit command templates (specify, plan, tasks, implement, analyze, clarify, constitution, checklist, taskstoissues) to properly formatted SKILL.md files
+  - **New projects**: command files are not installed when `--ai-skills` is used (skills replace commands)
+  - **Existing repos** (`--here`): pre-existing command files are preserved — no breaking changes
+  - `pyyaml` dependency (already present) used for YAML frontmatter parsing
+- **Unit tests** for `install_ai_skills`, `_get_skills_dir`, and `--ai-skills` CLI validation (51 test cases covering all 18 supported agents)
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-01-28

+### Changed
+
+- Version bumped to 0.1.0 (minor release for new feature)
+
+## [0.0.22] - 2025-11-07
+
+- Support for VS Code/Copilot agents, and moving away from prompts to proper agents with hand-offs.
+- Move to use `AGENTS.md` for Copilot workloads, since it's already supported out-of-the-box.
+- Adds support for the version command. ([#486](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/486))
+- Fixes potential bug with the `create-new-feature.ps1` script that ignores existing feature branches when determining next feature number ([#975](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/975))
+- Add graceful fallback and logging for GitHub API rate-limiting during template fetch ([#970](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/970))
+
+## [0.0.21] - 2025-10-21
+
+- Fixes [#975](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/975) (thank you [@fgalarraga](https://github.com/fgalarraga)).
+- Adds support for Amp CLI.
+- Adds support for VS Code hand-offs and moves prompts to be full-fledged chat modes.
+- Adds support for `version` command (addresses [#811](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/811) and [#486](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/486), thank you [@mcasalaina](https://github.com/mcasalaina) and [@dentity007](https://github.com/dentity007)).
+- Adds support for rendering the rate limit errors from the CLI when encountered ([#970](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/970), thank you [@psmman](https://github.com/psmman)).
+
+## [0.0.20] - 2025-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- **Intelligent Branch Naming**: `create-new-feature` scripts now support `--short-name` parameter for custom branch names
+  - When `--short-name` provided: Uses the custom name directly (cleaned and formatted)
+  - When omitted: Automatically generates meaningful names using stop word filtering and length-based filtering
+  - Filters out common stop words (I, want, to, the, for, etc.)
+  - Removes words shorter than 3 characters (unless they're uppercase acronyms)
+  - Takes 3-4 most meaningful words from the description
+  - **Enforces GitHub's 244-byte branch name limit** with automatic truncation and warnings
+  - Examples:
+    - "I want to create user authentication" → `001-create-user-authentication`
+    - "Implement OAuth2 integration for API" → `001-implement-oauth2-integration-api`
+    - "Fix payment processing bug" → `001-fix-payment-processing`
+    - Very long descriptions are automatically truncated at word boundaries to stay within limits
+  - Designed for AI agents to provide semantic short names while maintaining standalone usability
+
+### Changed
+
+- Enhanced help documentation for `create-new-feature.sh` and `create-new-feature.ps1` scripts with examples
+- Branch names now validated against GitHub's 244-byte limit with automatic truncation if needed
+
+## [0.0.19] - 2025-10-10
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for CodeBuddy (thank you to [@lispking](https://github.com/lispking) for the contribution).
+- You can now see Git-sourced errors in the Specify CLI.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Fixed the path to the constitution in `plan.md` (thank you to [@lyzno1](https://github.com/lyzno1) for spotting).
+- Fixed backslash escapes in generated TOML files for Gemini (thank you to [@hsin19](https://github.com/hsin19) for the contribution).
+- Implementation command now ensures that the correct ignore files are added (thank you to [@sigent-amazon](https://github.com/sigent-amazon) for the contribution).
+
+## [0.0.18] - 2025-10-06
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for using `.` as a shorthand for current directory in `specify init .` command, equivalent to `--here` flag but more intuitive for users.
+- Use the `/speckit.` command prefix to easily discover Spec Kit-related commands.
+- Refactor the prompts and templates to simplify their capabilities and how they are tracked. No more polluting things with tests when they are not needed.
+- Ensure that tasks are created per user story (simplifies testing and validation).
+- Add support for Visual Studio Code prompt shortcuts and automatic script execution.
+
+### Changed
+
+- All command files now prefixed with `speckit.` (e.g., `speckit.specify.md`, `speckit.plan.md`) for better discoverability and differentiation in IDE/CLI command palettes and file explorers
+
+## [0.0.17] - 2025-09-22
+
+### Added
+
+- New `/clarify` command template to surface up to 5 targeted clarification questions for an existing spec and persist answers into a Clarifications section in the spec.
+- New `/analyze` command template providing a non-destructive cross-artifact discrepancy and alignment report (spec, clarifications, plan, tasks, constitution) inserted after `/tasks` and before `/implement`.
+  - Note: Constitution rules are explicitly treated as non-negotiable; any conflict is a CRITICAL finding requiring artifact remediation, not weakening of principles.
+
+## [0.0.16] - 2025-09-22
+
+### Added
+
+- `--force` flag for `init` command to bypass confirmation when using `--here` in a non-empty directory and proceed with merging/overwriting files.
+
+## [0.0.15] - 2025-09-21
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for Roo Code.
+
+## [0.0.14] - 2025-09-21

+- Agent folder security notice displayed after project provisioning completion, warning users that some agents may store credentials or auth tokens in their agent folders and recommending adding relevant folders to `.gitignore` to prevent accidental credential leakage.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Warning displayed to ensure that folks are aware that they might need to add their agent folder to `.gitignore`.
+- Cleaned up the `check` command output.
+
+## [0.0.12] - 2025-09-21

+## AI contributions in Spec Kit
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>
+> If you are using **any kind of AI assistance** to contribute to Spec Kit,
+> it must be disclosed in the pull request or issue.
+
+We welcome and encourage the use of AI tools to help improve Spec Kit! Many valuable contributions have been enhanced with AI assistance for code generation, issue detection, and feature definition.
+
+That being said, if you are using any kind of AI assistance (e.g., agents, ChatGPT) while contributing to Spec Kit,
+**this must be disclosed in the pull request or issue**, along with the extent to which AI assistance was used (e.g., documentation comments vs. code generation).
+
+If your PR responses or comments are being generated by an AI, disclose that as well.
+
+As an exception, trivial spacing or typo fixes don't need to be disclosed, so long as the changes are limited to small parts of the code or short phrases.
+
+An example disclosure:
+
+> This PR was written primarily by GitHub Copilot.
+
+Or a more detailed disclosure:
+
+> I consulted ChatGPT to understand the codebase but the solution
+> was fully authored manually by myself.
+
+Failure to disclose this is first and foremost rude to the human operators on the other end of the pull request, but it also makes it difficult to
+determine how much scrutiny to apply to the contribution.
+
+In a perfect world, AI assistance would produce equal or higher quality work than any human. That isn't the world we live in today, and in most cases
+where human supervision or expertise is not in the loop, it's generating code that cannot be reasonably maintained or evolved.
+
+### What we're looking for
+
+When submitting AI-assisted contributions, please ensure they include:
+
+- **Clear disclosure of AI use** - You are transparent about AI use and degree to which you're using it for the contribution
+- **Human understanding and testing** - You've personally tested the changes and understand what they do
+- **Clear rationale** - You can explain why the change is needed and how it fits within Spec Kit's goals
+- **Concrete evidence** - Include test cases, scenarios, or examples that demonstrate the improvement
+- **Your own analysis** - Share your thoughts on the end-to-end developer experience
+
+### What we'll close
+
+We reserve the right to close contributions that appear to be:
+
+- Untested changes submitted without verification
+- Generic suggestions that don't address specific Spec Kit needs
+- Bulk submissions that show no human review or understanding
+
+### Guidelines for success
+
+The key is demonstrating that you understand and have validated your proposed changes. If a maintainer can easily tell that a contribution was generated entirely by AI without human input or testing, it likely needs more work before submission.
+
+Contributors who consistently submit low-effort AI-generated changes may be restricted from further contributions at the maintainers' discretion.
+
+Please be respectful to maintainers and disclose AI assistance.

 Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: **specifications become executable**, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them.
 
-## ⚡ Get started
+## ⚡ Get Started
 
-### 1. Install Specify
+### 1. Install Specify CLI
 
-Initialize your project depending on the coding agent you're using:
+Choose your preferred installation method:
+
+#### Option 1: Persistent Installation (Recommended)
+
+Install once and use everywhere:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+```
+
+Then use the tool directly:
+
+```bash
+# Create new project
+specify init <PROJECT_NAME>
+
+# Or initialize in existing project
+specify init . --ai claude
+# or
+specify init --here --ai claude
+
+# Check installed tools
+specify check
+```
+
+To upgrade Specify, see the [Upgrade Guide](./docs/upgrade.md) for detailed instructions. Quick upgrade:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+```
+
+#### Option 2: One-time Usage
+
+Run directly without installing:
 
 ```bash
 uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <PROJECT_NAME>
 ```
 
+**Benefits of persistent installation:**
+
+- Tool stays installed and available in PATH
+- No need to create shell aliases
+- Better tool management with `uv tool list`, `uv tool upgrade`, `uv tool uninstall`
+- Cleaner shell configuration
+

+## 📚 Core Philosophy
 
 Spec-Driven Development is a structured process that emphasizes:
 
-- **Intent-driven development** where specifications define the "_what_" before the "_how_"
+- **Intent-driven development** where specifications define the "*what*" before the "*how*"
 - **Rich specification creation** using guardrails and organizational principles
 - **Multi-step refinement** rather than one-shot code generation from prompts
 - **Heavy reliance** on advanced AI model capabilities for specification interpretation

+**In the chat**, use the `/speckit.specify` slash command to describe what you want to build. Focus on the **what** and **why**, not the tech stack.
 
-```bash
+```markdown
-/plan The application uses Vite with minimal number of libraries. Use vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as much as possible. Images are not uploaded anywhere and metadata is stored in a local SQLite database.
+/speckit.specify Build an application that can help me organize my photos in separate photo albums. Albums are grouped by date and can be re-organized by dragging and dropping on the main page. Albums are never in other nested albums. Within each album, photos are previewed in a tile-like interface.
 ```
 
-### 4. Break Down and Implement
+### Step 4: Refine the Spec
 
-Use `/tasks` to create an actionable task list, then ask your agent to implement the feature.
+**In the chat**, use the `/speckit.clarify` slash command to identify and resolve ambiguities in your specification. You can provide specific focus areas as arguments.
+
+```bash
+/speckit.clarify Focus on security and performance requirements.
+```
+
+### Step 5: Create a Technical Implementation Plan
+
+**In the chat**, use the `/speckit.plan` slash command to provide your tech stack and architecture choices.
+
+```markdown
+/speckit.plan The application uses Vite with minimal number of libraries. Use vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as much as possible. Images are not uploaded anywhere and metadata is stored in a local SQLite database.
+```
+
+### Step 6: Break Down and Implement
+
+**In the chat**, use the `/speckit.tasks` slash command to create an actionable task list.
+
+```markdown
+/speckit.tasks
+```
+
+Optionally, validate the plan with `/speckit.analyze`:
+
+```markdown
+/speckit.analyze
+```
+
+Then, use the `/speckit.implement` slash command to execute the plan.
+
+```markdown
+/speckit.implement

+# Upgrade Guide
+
+> You have Spec Kit installed and want to upgrade to the latest version to get new features, bug fixes, or updated slash commands. This guide covers both upgrading the CLI tool and updating your project files.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| What to Upgrade | Command | When to Use |
+|----------------|---------|-------------|
+| **CLI Tool Only** | `uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git` | Get latest CLI features without touching project files |
+| **Project Files** | `specify init --here --force --ai <your-agent>` | Update slash commands, templates, and scripts in your project |
+| **Both** | Run CLI upgrade, then project update | Recommended for major version updates |
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: Upgrade the CLI Tool
+
+The CLI tool (`specify`) is separate from your project files. Upgrade it to get the latest features and bug fixes.
+
+### If you installed with `uv tool install`
+
+```bash
+uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+```
+
+### If you use one-shot `uvx` commands
+
+No upgrade needed—`uvx` always fetches the latest version. Just run your commands as normal:
+
+```bash
+uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init --here --ai copilot
+```
+
+### Verify the upgrade
+
+```bash
+specify check
+```
+
+This shows installed tools and confirms the CLI is working.
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: Updating Project Files
+
+When Spec Kit releases new features (like new slash commands or updated templates), you need to refresh your project's Spec Kit files.
+
+### What gets updated?
+
+Running `specify init --here --force` will update:
+
+- ✅ **Slash command files** (`.claude/commands/`, `.github/prompts/`, etc.)
+- ✅ **Script files** (`.specify/scripts/`)
+- ✅ **Template files** (`.specify/templates/`)
+- ✅ **Shared memory files** (`.specify/memory/`) - **⚠️ See warnings below**
+
+### What stays safe?
+
+These files are **never touched** by the upgrade—the template packages don't even contain them:
+
+- ✅ **Your specifications** (`specs/001-my-feature/spec.md`, etc.) - **CONFIRMED SAFE**
+- ✅ **Your implementation plans** (`specs/001-my-feature/plan.md`, `tasks.md`, etc.) - **CONFIRMED SAFE**
+- ✅ **Your source code** - **CONFIRMED SAFE**
+- ✅ **Your git history** - **CONFIRMED SAFE**
+
+The `specs/` directory is completely excluded from template packages and will never be modified during upgrades.
+
+### Update command
+
+Run this inside your project directory:
+
+```bash
+specify init --here --force --ai <your-agent>
+```
+
+Replace `<your-agent>` with your AI assistant. Refer to this list of [Supported AI Agents](../README.md#-supported-ai-agents)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```bash
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot
+```
+
+### Understanding the `--force` flag
+
+Without `--force`, the CLI warns you and asks for confirmation:
+
+```text
+Warning: Current directory is not empty (25 items)
+Template files will be merged with existing content and may overwrite existing files
+Proceed? [y/N]
+```
+
+With `--force`, it skips the confirmation and proceeds immediately.
+
+**Important: Your `specs/` directory is always safe.** The `--force` flag only affects template files (commands, scripts, templates, memory). Your feature specifications, plans, and tasks in `specs/` are never included in upgrade packages and cannot be overwritten.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Important Warnings
+
+### 1. Constitution file will be overwritten
+
+**Known issue:** `specify init --here --force` currently overwrites `.specify/memory/constitution.md` with the default template, erasing any customizations you made.
+
+**Workaround:**
+
+```bash
+# 1. Back up your constitution before upgrading
+cp .specify/memory/constitution.md .specify/memory/constitution-backup.md
+
+# 2. Run the upgrade
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot
+
+# 3. Restore your customized constitution
+mv .specify/memory/constitution-backup.md .specify/memory/constitution.md
+```
+
+Or use git to restore it:
+
+```bash
+# After upgrade, restore from git history
+git restore .specify/memory/constitution.md
+```
+
+### 2. Custom template modifications
+
+If you customized any templates in `.specify/templates/`, the upgrade will overwrite them. Back them up first:
+
+```bash
+# Back up custom templates
+cp -r .specify/templates .specify/templates-backup
+
+# After upgrade, merge your changes back manually
+```
+
+### 3. Duplicate slash commands (IDE-based agents)
+
+Some IDE-based agents (like Kilo Code, Windsurf) may show **duplicate slash commands** after upgrading—both old and new versions appear.
+
+**Solution:** Manually delete the old command files from your agent's folder.
+
+**Example for Kilo Code:**
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to the agent's commands folder
+cd .kilocode/rules/
+
+# List files and identify duplicates
+ls -la
+
+# Delete old versions (example filenames - yours may differ)
+rm speckit.specify-old.md
+rm speckit.plan-v1.md
+```
+
+Restart your IDE to refresh the command list.
+
+---
+
+## Common Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: "I just want new slash commands"
+
+```bash
+# Upgrade CLI (if using persistent install)
+uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+
+# Update project files to get new commands
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot
+
+# Restore your constitution if customized
+git restore .specify/memory/constitution.md
+```
+
+### Scenario 2: "I customized templates and constitution"
+
+```bash
+# 1. Back up customizations
+cp .specify/memory/constitution.md /tmp/constitution-backup.md
+cp -r .specify/templates /tmp/templates-backup
+
+# 2. Upgrade CLI
+uv tool install specify-cli --force --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+
+# 3. Update project
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot
+
+# 4. Restore customizations
+mv /tmp/constitution-backup.md .specify/memory/constitution.md
+# Manually merge template changes if needed
+```
+
+### Scenario 3: "I see duplicate slash commands in my IDE"
+
+This happens with IDE-based agents (Kilo Code, Windsurf, Roo Code, etc.).
+
+```bash
+# Find the agent folder (example: .kilocode/rules/)
+cd .kilocode/rules/
+
+# List all files
+ls -la
+
+# Delete old command files
+rm speckit.old-command-name.md
+
+# Restart your IDE
+```
+
+### Scenario 4: "I'm working on a project without Git"
+
+If you initialized your project with `--no-git`, you can still upgrade:
+
+```bash
+# Manually back up files you customized
+cp .specify/memory/constitution.md /tmp/constitution-backup.md
+
+# Run upgrade
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot --no-git
+
+# Restore customizations
+mv /tmp/constitution-backup.md .specify/memory/constitution.md
+```
+
+The `--no-git` flag skips git initialization but doesn't affect file updates.
+
+---
+
+## Using `--no-git` Flag
+
+The `--no-git` flag tells Spec Kit to **skip git repository initialization**. This is useful when:
+
+- You manage version control differently (Mercurial, SVN, etc.)
+- Your project is part of a larger monorepo with existing git setup
+- You're experimenting and don't want version control yet
+
+**During initial setup:**
+
+```bash
+specify init my-project --ai copilot --no-git
+```
+
+**During upgrade:**
+
+```bash
+specify init --here --force --ai copilot --no-git
+```
+
+### What `--no-git` does NOT do
+
+❌ Does NOT prevent file updates
+❌ Does NOT skip slash command installation
+❌ Does NOT affect template merging
+
+It **only** skips running `git init` and creating the initial commit.
+
+### Working without Git
+
+If you use `--no-git`, you'll need to manage feature directories manually:
+
+**Set the `SPECIFY_FEATURE` environment variable** before using planning commands:
+
+```bash
+# Bash/Zsh
+export SPECIFY_FEATURE="001-my-feature"
+
+# PowerShell
+$env:SPECIFY_FEATURE = "001-my-feature"
+```
+
+This tells Spec Kit which feature directory to use when creating specs, plans, and tasks.
+
+**Why this matters:** Without git, Spec Kit can't detect your current branch name to determine the active feature. The environment variable provides that context manually.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Slash commands not showing up after upgrade"
+
+**Cause:** Agent didn't reload the command files.
+
+**Fix:**
+
+1. **Restart your IDE/editor** completely (not just reload window)
+2. **For CLI-based agents**, verify files exist:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls -la .claude/commands/      # Claude Code
+   ls -la .gemini/commands/       # Gemini
+   ls -la .cursor/commands/       # Cursor
+   ```
+
+3. **Check agent-specific setup:**
+   - Codex requires `CODEX_HOME` environment variable
+   - Some agents need workspace restart or cache clearing
+
+### "I lost my constitution customizations"
+
+**Fix:** Restore from git or backup:
+
+```bash
+# If you committed before upgrading
+git restore .specify/memory/constitution.md
+
+# If you backed up manually
+cp /tmp/constitution-backup.md .specify/memory/constitution.md
+```
+
+**Prevention:** Always commit or back up `constitution.md` before upgrading.
+
+### "Warning: Current directory is not empty"
+
+**Full warning message:**
+
+```text
+Warning: Current directory is not empty (25 items)
+Template files will be merged with existing content and may overwrite existing files
+Do you want to continue? [y/N]
+```
+
+**What this means:**
+
+This warning appears when you run `specify init --here` (or `specify init .`) in a directory that already has files. It's telling you:
+
+1. **The directory has existing content** - In the example, 25 files/folders
+2. **Files will be merged** - New template files will be added alongside your existing files
+3. **Some files may be overwritten** - If you already have Spec Kit files (`.claude/`, `.specify/`, etc.), they'll be replaced with the new versions
+
+**What gets overwritten:**
+
+Only Spec Kit infrastructure files:
+
+- Agent command files (`.claude/commands/`, `.github/prompts/`, etc.)
+- Scripts in `.specify/scripts/`
+- Templates in `.specify/templates/`
+- Memory files in `.specify/memory/` (including constitution)
+
+**What stays untouched:**
+
+- Your `specs/` directory (specifications, plans, tasks)
+- Your source code files
+- Your `.git/` directory and git history
+- Any other files not part of Spec Kit templates
+
+**How to respond:**
+
+- **Type `y` and press Enter** - Proceed with the merge (recommended if upgrading)
+- **Type `n` and press Enter** - Cancel the operation
+- **Use `--force` flag** - Skip this confirmation entirely:
+
+  ```bash
+  specify init --here --force --ai copilot
+  ```
+
+**When you see this warning:**
+
+- ✅ **Expected** when upgrading an existing Spec Kit project
+- ✅ **Expected** when adding Spec Kit to an existing codebase
+- ⚠️ **Unexpected** if you thought you were creating a new project in an empty directory
+
+**Prevention tip:** Before upgrading, commit or back up your `.specify/memory/constitution.md` if you customized it.
+
+### "CLI upgrade doesn't seem to work"
+
+Verify the installation:
+
+```bash
+# Check installed tools
+uv tool list
+
+# Should show specify-cli
+
+# Verify path
+which specify
+
+# Should point to the uv tool installation directory
+```
+
+If not found, reinstall:
+
+```bash
+uv tool uninstall specify-cli
+uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+```
+
+### "Do I need to run specify every time I open my project?"
+
+**Short answer:** No, you only run `specify init` once per project (or when upgrading).
+
+**Explanation:**
+
+The `specify` CLI tool is used for:
+
+- **Initial setup:** `specify init` to bootstrap Spec Kit in your project
+- **Upgrades:** `specify init --here --force` to update templates and commands
+- **Diagnostics:** `specify check` to verify tool installation
+
+Once you've run `specify init`, the slash commands (like `/speckit.specify`, `/speckit.plan`, etc.) are **permanently installed** in your project's agent folder (`.claude/`, `.github/prompts/`, etc.). Your AI assistant reads these command files directly—no need to run `specify` again.
+
+**If your agent isn't recognizing slash commands:**
+
+1. **Verify command files exist:**
+
+   ```bash
+   # For GitHub Copilot
+   ls -la .github/prompts/
+
+   # For Claude
+   ls -la .claude/commands/
+   ```
+
+2. **Restart your IDE/editor completely** (not just reload window)
+
+3. **Check you're in the correct directory** where you ran `specify init`
+
+4. **For some agents**, you may need to reload the workspace or clear cache
+
+**Related issue:** If Copilot can't open local files or uses PowerShell commands unexpectedly, this is typically an IDE context issue, not related to `specify`. Try:
+
+- Restarting VS Code
+- Checking file permissions
+- Ensuring the workspace folder is properly opened
+
+---
+
+## Version Compatibility
+
+Spec Kit follows semantic versioning for major releases. The CLI and project files are designed to be compatible within the same major version.
+
+**Best practice:** Keep both CLI and project files in sync by upgrading both together during major version changes.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After upgrading:
+
+- **Test new slash commands:** Run `/speckit.constitution` or another command to verify everything works
+- **Review release notes:** Check [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) for new features and breaking changes
+- **Update workflows:** If new commands were added, update your team's development workflows
+- **Check documentation:** Visit [github.io/spec-kit](https://github.github.io/spec-kit/) for updated guides

+```
+
+### Special Variables
+
+- `$ARGUMENTS` - Placeholder for user-provided arguments
+- Extension context automatically injected:
+
+  ```markdown
+  <!-- Extension: {extension-id} -->
+  <!-- Config: .specify/extensions/{extension-id}/ -->
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Schema
+
+### Extension Config File
+
+**File**: `.specify/extensions/{extension-id}/{extension-id}-config.yml`
+
+Extensions define their own config schema. Common patterns:
+
+```yaml
+# Connection settings
+connection:
+  url: string
+  api_key: string
+
+# Project settings
+project:
+  key: string
+  workspace: string
+
+# Feature flags
+features:
+  enabled: boolean
+  auto_sync: boolean
+
+# Defaults
+defaults:
+  labels: [string]
+  assignee: string
+
+# Custom fields
+field_mappings:
+  internal_name: "external_field_id"
+```
+
+### Config Layers
+
+1. **Extension Defaults** (from `extension.yml` `defaults` section)
+2. **Project Config** (`{extension-id}-config.yml`)
+3. **Local Override** (`{extension-id}-config.local.yml`, gitignored)
+4. **Environment Variables** (`SPECKIT_{EXTENSION}_*`)
+
+### Environment Variable Pattern
+
+Format: `SPECKIT_{EXTENSION}_{KEY}`
+
+Examples:
+
+- `SPECKIT_JIRA_PROJECT_KEY`
+- `SPECKIT_LINEAR_API_KEY`
+- `SPECKIT_GITHUB_TOKEN`
+
+---
+
+## Hook System
+
+### Hook Definition
+
+**In extension.yml**:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+  after_tasks:
+    command: "speckit.jira.specstoissues"
+    optional: true
+    prompt: "Create Jira issues from tasks?"
+    description: "Automatically create Jira hierarchy"
+    condition: null
+```
+
+### Hook Events
+
+Standard events (defined by core):
+
+- `after_tasks` - After task generation
+- `after_implement` - After implementation
+- `before_commit` - Before git commit
+- `after_commit` - After git commit
+
+### Hook Configuration
+
+**In `.specify/extensions.yml`**:
+
+```yaml
+hooks:
+  after_tasks:
+    - extension: jira
+      command: speckit.jira.specstoissues
+      enabled: true
+      optional: true
+      prompt: "Create Jira issues from tasks?"
+      description: "..."
+      condition: null
+```
+
+### Hook Message Format
+
+```markdown
+## Extension Hooks
+
+**Optional Hook**: {extension}
+Command: `/{command}`
+Description: {description}
+
+Prompt: {prompt}
+To execute: `/{command}`
+```
+
+Or for mandatory hooks:
+
+```markdown
+**Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+Executing: `/{command}`
+EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+```

+specify extension add --dev /path/to/my-extension
+```
+
+### 6. Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+specify extension list
+
+# Should show:
+#  ✓ My Extension (v1.0.0)
+#     My custom extension
+#     Commands: 1 | Hooks: 1 | Status: Enabled
+```
+
+### 7. Test Command

+
+## Command File Format
+
+### Frontmatter (YAML)
+
+```yaml
+---
+description: "Command description"          # Required
+tools:                                      # Optional
+  - 'tool-name/function'
+scripts:                                    # Optional
+  sh: ../../scripts/bash/helper.sh
+  ps: ../../scripts/powershell/helper.ps1
+---
+```
+
+### Body (Markdown)
+
+Use standard Markdown with special placeholders:
+
+- `$ARGUMENTS`: User-provided arguments
+- `{SCRIPT}`: Replaced with script path during registration
+
+**Example**:
+
+````markdown
+## Steps
+
+1. Parse arguments
+2. Execute logic
+
+```bash
+args="$ARGUMENTS"
+echo "Running with args: $args"
+```
+````
+
+### Script Path Rewriting
+
+Extension commands use relative paths that get rewritten during registration:
+
+**In extension**:
+
+```yaml
+scripts:
+  sh: ../../scripts/bash/helper.sh
+```
+
+**After registration**:
+
+```yaml
+scripts:
+  sh: .specify/scripts/bash/helper.sh
+```
+
+This allows scripts to reference core spec-kit scripts.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### Config Template
+
+**File**: `my-ext-config.template.yml`
+
+```yaml
+# My Extension Configuration
+# Copy this to my-ext-config.yml and customize
+
+# Example configuration
+api:
+  endpoint: "https://api.example.com"
+  timeout: 30
+
+features:
+  feature_a: true
+  feature_b: false
+
+credentials:
+  # DO NOT commit credentials!
+  # Use environment variables instead
+  api_key: "${MY_EXT_API_KEY}"
+```
+
+### Config Loading
+
+In your command, load config with layered precedence:
+
+1. Extension defaults (`extension.yml` → `defaults`)
+2. Project config (`.specify/extensions/my-ext/my-ext-config.yml`)
+3. Local overrides (`.specify/extensions/my-ext/my-ext-config.local.yml` - gitignored)
+4. Environment variables (`SPECKIT_MY_EXT_*`)
+
+**Example loading script**:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+EXT_DIR=".specify/extensions/my-ext"
+
+# Load and merge config
+config=$(yq eval '.' "$EXT_DIR/my-ext-config.yml" -o=json)
+
+# Apply env overrides
+if [ -n "${SPECKIT_MY_EXT_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
+  config=$(echo "$config" | jq ".api.api_key = \"$SPECKIT_MY_EXT_API_KEY\"")
+fi
+
+echo "$config"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### Extension ID
+
+- **Pattern**: `^[a-z0-9-]+$`
+- **Valid**: `my-ext`, `tool-123`, `awesome-plugin`
+- **Invalid**: `MyExt` (uppercase), `my_ext` (underscore), `my ext` (space)
+
+### Extension Version

+
+## Testing Extensions
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. **Create test extension**
+2. **Install locally**:
+
+   ```bash
+   specify extension add --dev /path/to/extension
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify installation**:
+
+   ```bash
+   specify extension list
+   ```
+
+4. **Test commands** with your AI agent
+5. **Check command registration**:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls .claude/commands/speckit.my-ext.*
+   ```
+
+6. **Remove extension**:
+
+   ```bash
+   specify extension remove my-ext
+   ```
+
+### Automated Testing
+
+Create tests for your extension:
+
+```python
+# tests/test_my_extension.py
+import pytest
+from pathlib import Path
+from specify_cli.extensions import ExtensionManifest
+
+def test_manifest_valid():
+    """Test extension manifest is valid."""
+    manifest = ExtensionManifest(Path("extension.yml"))
+    assert manifest.id == "my-ext"
+    assert len(manifest.commands) >= 1
+
+def test_command_files_exist():
+    """Test all command files exist."""
+    manifest = ExtensionManifest(Path("extension.yml"))
+    for cmd in manifest.commands:
+        cmd_file = Path(cmd["file"])
+        assert cmd_file.exists(), f"Command file not found: {cmd_file}"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Distribution
+
+### Option 1: GitHub Repository
+
+1. **Create repository**: `spec-kit-my-ext`
+2. **Add files**:
+
+   ```text
+   spec-kit-my-ext/
+   ├── extension.yml
+   ├── commands/
+   ├── scripts/
+   ├── docs/
+   ├── README.md
+   ├── LICENSE
+   └── CHANGELOG.md
+   ```
+
+3. **Create release**: Tag with version (e.g., `v1.0.0`)
+4. **Install from repo**:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/you/spec-kit-my-ext
+   specify extension add --dev spec-kit-my-ext/
+   ```
+
+### Option 2: ZIP Archive (Future)
+
+Create ZIP archive and host on GitHub Releases:
+
+```bash
+zip -r spec-kit-my-ext-1.0.0.zip extension.yml commands/ scripts/ docs/
+```
+
+Users install with:
+
+```bash
+specify extension add --from https://github.com/.../spec-kit-my-ext-1.0.0.zip
+```
+
+### Option 3: Extension Catalog (Future)
+
+Submit to official catalog:
+
+1. **Fork** spec-kit repository
+2. **Add entry** to `extensions/catalog.json`
+3. **Create PR**
+4. **After merge**, users can install with:
+
+   ```bash
+   specify extension add my-ext  # No URL needed!
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **Extension ID**: Use descriptive, hyphenated names (`jira-integration`, not `ji`)
+- **Commands**: Use verb-noun pattern (`create-issue`, `sync-status`)
+- **Config files**: Match extension ID (`jira-config.yml`)
+
+### Documentation
+
+- **README.md**: Overview, installation, usage
+- **CHANGELOG.md**: Version history
+- **docs/**: Detailed guides
+- **Command descriptions**: Clear, concise
+
+### Versioning
+
+- **Follow SemVer**: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
+- **MAJOR**: Breaking changes
+- **MINOR**: New features
+- **PATCH**: Bug fixes
+
+### Security
+
+- **Never commit secrets**: Use environment variables
+- **Validate input**: Sanitize user arguments
+- **Document permissions**: What files/APIs are accessed
+
+### Compatibility
+
+- **Specify version range**: Don't require exact version
+- **Test with multiple versions**: Ensure compatibility
+- **Graceful degradation**: Handle missing features
+
+---
+
+## Example Extensions
+
+### Minimal Extension
+
+Smallest possible extension:
+
+```yaml
+# extension.yml
+schema_version: "1.0"
+extension:
+  id: "minimal"
+  name: "Minimal Extension"
+  version: "1.0.0"
+  description: "Minimal example"
+requires:
+  speckit_version: ">=0.1.0"
+provides:
+  commands:
+    - name: "speckit.minimal.hello"
+      file: "commands/hello.md"
+```
+
+````markdown
+<!-- commands/hello.md -->
+---
+description: "Hello command"
+---
+
+# Hello World
+
+```bash
+echo "Hello, $ARGUMENTS!"
+```
+````
+
+### Extension with Config
+
+Extension using configuration:
+
+```yaml
+# extension.yml
+# ... metadata ...
+provides:
+  config:
+    - name: "tool-config.yml"
+      template: "tool-config.template.yml"
+      required: true
+```
+
+```yaml
+# tool-config.template.yml
+api_endpoint: "https://api.example.com"
+timeout: 30
+```
+
+````markdown
+<!-- commands/use-config.md -->
+# Use Config
+
+Load config:
+```bash
+config_file=".specify/extensions/tool/tool-config.yml"
+endpoint=$(yq eval '.api_endpoint' "$config_file")
+echo "Using endpoint: $endpoint"
+```
+````
+
+### Extension with Hooks
+
+Extension that runs automatically:
+
+```yaml
+# extension.yml
+hooks:
+  after_tasks:
+    command: "speckit.auto.analyze"
+    optional: false  # Always run
+    description: "Analyze tasks after generation"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Extension won't install
+
+**Error**: `Invalid extension ID`
+
+- **Fix**: Use lowercase, alphanumeric + hyphens only
+
+**Error**: `Extension requires spec-kit >=0.2.0`
+
+- **Fix**: Update spec-kit with `uv tool install specify-cli --force`
+
+**Error**: `Command file not found`
+
+- **Fix**: Ensure command files exist at paths specified in manifest
+
+### Commands not registered
+
+**Symptom**: Commands don't appear in AI agent
+
+**Check**:
+
+1. `.claude/commands/` directory exists
+2. Extension installed successfully
+3. Commands registered in registry:
+
+   ```bash
+   cat .specify/extensions/.registry
+   ```
+
+**Fix**: Reinstall extension to trigger registration
+
+### Config not loading
+
+**Check**:
+
+1. Config file exists: `.specify/extensions/{ext-id}/{ext-id}-config.yml`
+2. YAML syntax is valid: `yq eval '.' config.yml`
+3. Environment variables set correctly
+
+---

+## Release Workflow
+
+### Publishing New Versions
+
+When releasing a new version:
+
+1. **Update version** in `extension.yml`:
+
+   ```yaml
+   extension:
+     version: "1.1.0"  # Updated version
+   ```
+
+2. **Update CHANGELOG.md**:
+
+   ```markdown
+   ## [1.1.0] - 2026-02-15
+
+   ### Added
+   - New feature X
+
+   ### Fixed
+   - Bug fix Y
+   ```
+
+3. **Create GitHub release**:
+
+   ```bash
+   git tag v1.1.0
+   git push origin v1.1.0
+   # Create release on GitHub
+   ```
+
+4. **Update catalog**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Fork spec-kit repo (or update existing fork)
+   cd spec-kit
+
+   # Update extensions/catalog.json
+   jq '.extensions["your-extension"].version = "1.1.0"' extensions/catalog.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json extensions/catalog.json
+   jq '.extensions["your-extension"].download_url = "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-your-extension/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.0.zip"' extensions/catalog.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json extensions/catalog.json
+   jq '.extensions["your-extension"].updated_at = "2026-02-15T00:00:00Z"' extensions/catalog.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json extensions/catalog.json
+   jq '.updated_at = "2026-02-15T00:00:00Z"' extensions/catalog.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json extensions/catalog.json
+
+   # Submit PR
+   git checkout -b update-your-extension-v1.1.0
+   git add extensions/catalog.json
+   git commit -m "Update your-extension to v1.1.0"
+   git push origin update-your-extension-v1.1.0
+   ```
+
+5. **Submit update PR** with changelog in description
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Extension Design
+
+1. **Single Responsibility**: Each extension should focus on one tool/integration
+2. **Clear Naming**: Use descriptive, unambiguous names
+3. **Minimal Dependencies**: Avoid unnecessary dependencies
+4. **Backward Compatibility**: Follow semantic versioning strictly
+
+### Documentation
+
+1. **README.md Structure**:
+   - Overview and features
+   - Installation instructions
+   - Configuration guide
+   - Usage examples
+   - Troubleshooting
+   - Contributing guidelines
+
+2. **Command Documentation**:
+   - Clear description
+   - Prerequisites listed
+   - Step-by-step instructions
+   - Error handling guidance
+   - Examples
+
+3. **Configuration**:
+   - Provide template file
+   - Document all options
+   - Include examples
+   - Explain defaults
+
+### Security
+
+1. **Input Validation**: Validate all user inputs
+2. **No Hardcoded Secrets**: Never include credentials
+3. **Safe Dependencies**: Only use trusted dependencies
+4. **Audit Regularly**: Check for vulnerabilities
+
+### Maintenance
+
+1. **Respond to Issues**: Address issues within 1-2 weeks
+2. **Regular Updates**: Keep dependencies updated
+3. **Changelog**: Maintain detailed changelog
+4. **Deprecation**: Give advance notice for breaking changes
+
+### Community
+
+1. **License**: Use permissive open-source license (MIT, Apache 2.0)
+2. **Contributing**: Welcome contributions
+3. **Code of Conduct**: Be respectful and inclusive
+4. **Support**: Provide ways to get help (issues, discussions, email)
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Q: Can I publish private/proprietary extensions?
+
+A: The main catalog is for public extensions only. For private extensions:
+
+- Host your own catalog.json file
+- Users add your catalog: `specify extension add-catalog https://your-domain.com/catalog.json`
+- Not yet implemented - coming in Phase 4
+
+### Q: How long does verification take?
+
+A: Typically 3-7 business days for initial review. Updates to verified extensions are usually faster.
+
+### Q: What if my extension is rejected?
+
+A: You'll receive feedback on what needs to be fixed. Make the changes and resubmit.
+
+### Q: Can I update my extension anytime?
+
+A: Yes, submit a PR to update the catalog with your new version. Verified status may be re-evaluated for major changes.
+
+### Q: Do I need to be verified to be in the catalog?
+
+A: No, unverified extensions are still searchable. Verification just adds trust and visibility.
+
+### Q: Can extensions have paid features?
+
+A: Extensions should be free and open-source. Commercial support/services are allowed, but core functionality must be free.

+## Introduction
+
+### What are Extensions?
+
+Extensions are modular packages that add new commands and functionality to Spec Kit without bloating the core framework. They allow you to:
+
+- **Integrate** with external tools (Jira, Linear, GitHub, etc.)
+- **Automate** repetitive tasks with hooks
+- **Customize** workflows for your team
+- **Share** solutions across projects
+
+### Why Use Extensions?
+
+- **Clean Core**: Keeps spec-kit lightweight and focused
+- **Optional Features**: Only install what you need
+- **Community Driven**: Anyone can create and share extensions
+- **Version Controlled**: Extensions are versioned independently
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Spec Kit version 0.1.0 or higher
+- A spec-kit project (directory with `.specify/` folder)
+
+### Check Your Version
+
+```bash
+specify --version
+# Should show 0.1.0 or higher
+```
+
+### First Extension
+
+Let's install the Jira extension as an example:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Search for the extension
+specify extension search jira
+
+# 2. Get detailed information
+specify extension info jira
+
+# 3. Install it
+specify extension add jira
+
+# 4. Configure it
+vim .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml
+
+# 5. Use it
+# (Commands are now available in Claude Code)
+/speckit.jira.specstoissues
+```
+
+---
+
+## Finding Extensions
+
+### Browse All Extensions
+
+```bash
+specify extension search
+```
+
+Shows all available extensions in the catalog.
+
+### Search by Keyword
+
+```bash
+# Search for "jira"
+specify extension search jira
+
+# Search for "issue tracking"
+specify extension search issue
+```
+
+### Filter by Tag
+
+```bash
+# Find all issue-tracking extensions
+specify extension search --tag issue-tracking
+
+# Find all Atlassian tools
+specify extension search --tag atlassian
+```
+
+### Filter by Author
+
+```bash
+# Extensions by Stats Perform
+specify extension search --author "Stats Perform"
+```
+
+### Show Verified Only
+
+```bash
+# Only show verified extensions
+specify extension search --verified
+```
+
+### Get Extension Details
+
+```bash
+# Detailed information
+specify extension info jira
+```
+
+Shows:
+
+- Description
+- Requirements
+- Commands provided
+- Hooks available
+- Links (documentation, repository, changelog)
+- Installation status
+
+---
+
+## Installing Extensions
+
+### Install from Catalog
+
+```bash
+# By name (from catalog)
+specify extension add jira
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Download the extension from GitHub
+2. Validate the manifest
+3. Check compatibility with your spec-kit version
+4. Install to `.specify/extensions/jira/`
+5. Register commands with your AI agent
+6. Create config template
+
+### Install from URL
+
+```bash
+# From GitHub release
+specify extension add --from https://github.com/org/spec-kit-ext/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip
+```
+
+### Install from Local Directory (Development)
+
+```bash
+# For testing or development
+specify extension add --dev /path/to/extension
+```
+
+### Installation Output
+
+```text
+✓ Extension installed successfully!
+
+Jira Integration (v1.0.0)
+  Create Jira Epics, Stories, and Issues from spec-kit artifacts
+
+Provided commands:
+  • speckit.jira.specstoissues - Create Jira hierarchy from spec and tasks
+  • speckit.jira.discover-fields - Discover Jira custom fields for configuration
+  • speckit.jira.sync-status - Sync task completion status to Jira
+
+⚠  Configuration may be required
+   Check: .specify/extensions/jira/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using Extensions
+
+### Using Extension Commands
+
+Extensions add commands that appear in your AI agent (Claude Code):
+
+```text
+# In Claude Code
+> /speckit.jira.specstoissues
+
+# Or use short alias (if provided)
+> /speckit.specstoissues
+```
+
+### Extension Configuration
+
+Most extensions require configuration:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find the config file
+ls .specify/extensions/jira/
+
+# 2. Copy template to config
+cp .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.template.yml \
+   .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml
+
+# 3. Edit configuration
+vim .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml
+
+# 4. Use the extension
+# (Commands will now work with your config)
+```
+
+### Extension Hooks
+
+Some extensions provide hooks that execute after core commands:
+
+**Example**: Jira extension hooks into `/speckit.tasks`
+
+```text
+# Run core command
+> /speckit.tasks
+
+# Output includes:
+## Extension Hooks
+
+**Optional Hook**: jira
+Command: `/speckit.jira.specstoissues`
+Description: Automatically create Jira hierarchy after task generation
+
+Prompt: Create Jira issues from tasks?
+To execute: `/speckit.jira.specstoissues`
+```
+
+You can then choose to run the hook or skip it.
+
+---
+
+## Managing Extensions
+
+### List Installed Extensions
+
+```bash
+specify extension list
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```text
+Installed Extensions:
+
+  ✓ Jira Integration (v1.0.0)
+     Create Jira Epics, Stories, and Issues from spec-kit artifacts
+     Commands: 3 | Hooks: 1 | Status: Enabled
+```
+
+### Update Extensions
+
+```bash
+# Check for updates (all extensions)
+specify extension update
+
+# Update specific extension
+specify extension update jira
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```text
+🔄 Checking for updates...
+
+Updates available:
+
+  • jira: 1.0.0 → 1.1.0
+
+Update these extensions? [y/N]:
+```
+
+### Disable Extension Temporarily
+
+```bash
+# Disable without removing
+specify extension disable jira
+
+✓ Extension 'jira' disabled
+
+Commands will no longer be available. Hooks will not execute.
+To re-enable: specify extension enable jira
+```
+
+### Re-enable Extension
+
+```bash
+specify extension enable jira
+
+✓ Extension 'jira' enabled
+```
+
+### Remove Extension
+
+```bash
+# Remove extension (with confirmation)
+specify extension remove jira
+
+# Keep configuration when removing
+specify extension remove jira --keep-config
+
+# Force removal (no confirmation)
+specify extension remove jira --force
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Configuration Files
+
+Extensions can have multiple configuration files:
+
+```text
+.specify/extensions/jira/
+├── jira-config.yml           # Main config (version controlled)
+├── jira-config.local.yml     # Local overrides (gitignored)
+└── jira-config.template.yml  # Template (reference)
+```
+
+### Configuration Layers
+
+Configuration is merged in this order (highest priority last):
+
+1. **Extension defaults** (from `extension.yml`)
+2. **Project config** (`jira-config.yml`)
+3. **Local overrides** (`jira-config.local.yml`)
+4. **Environment variables** (`SPECKIT_JIRA_*`)
+
+### Example: Jira Configuration
+
+**Project config** (`.specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml`):
+
+```yaml
+project:
+  key: "MSATS"
+
+defaults:
+  epic:
+    labels: ["spec-driven"]
+```
+
+**Local override** (`.specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.local.yml`):
+
+```yaml
+project:
+  key: "MYTEST"  # Override for local development
+```
+
+**Environment variable**:
+
+```bash
+export SPECKIT_JIRA_PROJECT_KEY="DEVTEST"
+```
+
+Final resolved config uses `DEVTEST` from environment variable.
+
+### Project-Wide Extension Settings
+
+File: `.specify/extensions.yml`
+
+```yaml
+# Extensions installed in this project
+installed:
+  - jira
+  - linear
+
+# Global settings
+settings:
+  auto_execute_hooks: true
+
+# Hook configuration
+hooks:
+  after_tasks:
+    - extension: jira
+      command: speckit.jira.specstoissues
+      enabled: true
+      optional: true
+      prompt: "Create Jira issues from tasks?"
+```
+
+### Core Environment Variables
+
+In addition to extension-specific environment variables (`SPECKIT_{EXT_ID}_*`), spec-kit supports core environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL`       | Override the extension catalog URL | GitHub-hosted catalog |
+| `GH_TOKEN` / `GITHUB_TOKEN` | GitHub API token for downloads     | None                  |
+
+#### Example: Using a custom catalog for testing
+
+```bash
+# Point to a local or alternative catalog
+export SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="http://localhost:8000/catalog.json"
+
+# Or use a staging catalog
+export SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="https://example.com/staging/catalog.json"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Organization Catalog Customization
+
+### Why the Default Catalog is Empty
+
+The default spec-kit catalog ships empty by design. This allows organizations to:
+
+- **Control available extensions** - Curate which extensions your team can install
+- **Host private extensions** - Internal tools that shouldn't be public
+- **Customize for compliance** - Meet security/audit requirements
+- **Support air-gapped environments** - Work without internet access
+
+### Setting Up a Custom Catalog
+
+#### 1. Create Your Catalog File
+
+Create a `catalog.json` file with your extensions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "updated_at": "2026-02-03T00:00:00Z",
+  "catalog_url": "https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json",
+  "extensions": {
+    "jira": {
+      "name": "Jira Integration",
+      "id": "jira",
+      "description": "Create Jira issues from spec-kit artifacts",
+      "author": "Your Organization",
+      "version": "2.1.0",
+      "download_url": "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-jira/archive/refs/tags/v2.1.0.zip",
+      "repository": "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-jira",
+      "license": "MIT",
+      "requires": {
+        "speckit_version": ">=0.1.0",
+        "tools": [
+          {"name": "atlassian-mcp-server", "required": true}
+        ]
+      },
+      "provides": {
+        "commands": 3,
+        "hooks": 1
+      },
+      "tags": ["jira", "atlassian", "issue-tracking"],
+      "verified": true
+    },
+    "internal-tool": {
+      "name": "Internal Tool Integration",
+      "id": "internal-tool",
+      "description": "Connect to internal company systems",
+      "author": "Your Organization",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "download_url": "https://internal.your-org.com/extensions/internal-tool-1.0.0.zip",
+      "repository": "https://github.internal.your-org.com/spec-kit-internal",
+      "license": "Proprietary",
+      "requires": {
+        "speckit_version": ">=0.1.0"
+      },
+      "provides": {
+        "commands": 2
+      },
+      "tags": ["internal", "proprietary"],
+      "verified": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Host the Catalog
+
+Options for hosting your catalog:
+
+| Method | URL Example | Use Case |
+| ------ | ----------- | -------- |
+| GitHub Pages | `https://your-org.github.io/spec-kit-catalog/catalog.json` | Public or org-visible |
+| Internal web server | `https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json` | Corporate network |
+| S3/Cloud storage | `https://s3.amazonaws.com/your-bucket/catalog.json` | Cloud-hosted teams |
+| Local file server | `http://localhost:8000/catalog.json` | Development/testing |
+
+**Security requirement**: URLs must use HTTPS (except `localhost` for testing).
+
+#### 3. Configure Your Environment
+
+##### Option A: Environment variable (recommended for CI/CD)
+
+```bash
+# In ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or CI pipeline
+export SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json"
+```
+
+##### Option B: Per-project configuration
+
+Create `.env` or set in your shell before running spec-kit commands:
+
+```bash
+SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json" specify extension search
+```
+
+#### 4. Verify Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Search should now show your catalog's extensions
+specify extension search
+
+# Install from your catalog
+specify extension add jira
+```
+
+### Catalog JSON Schema
+
+Required fields for each extension entry:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+| ----- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `name` | string | Yes | Human-readable name |
+| `id` | string | Yes | Unique identifier (lowercase, hyphens) |
+| `version` | string | Yes | Semantic version (X.Y.Z) |
+| `download_url` | string | Yes | URL to ZIP archive |
+| `repository` | string | Yes | Source code URL |
+| `description` | string | No | Brief description |
+| `author` | string | No | Author/organization |
+| `license` | string | No | SPDX license identifier |
+| `requires.speckit_version` | string | No | Version constraint |
+| `requires.tools` | array | No | Required external tools |
+| `provides.commands` | number | No | Number of commands |
+| `provides.hooks` | number | No | Number of hooks |
+| `tags` | array | No | Search tags |
+| `verified` | boolean | No | Verification status |
+
+### Use Cases
+
+#### Private/Internal Extensions
+
+Host proprietary extensions that integrate with internal systems:
+
+```json
+{
+  "internal-auth": {
+    "name": "Internal SSO Integration",
+    "download_url": "https://artifactory.company.com/spec-kit/internal-auth-1.0.0.zip",
+    "verified": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Curated Team Catalog
+
+Limit which extensions your team can install:
+
+```json
+{
+  "extensions": {
+    "jira": { "..." },
+    "github": { "..." }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Only `jira` and `github` will appear in `specify extension search`.
+
+#### Air-Gapped Environments
+
+For networks without internet access:
+
+1. Download extension ZIPs to internal file server
+2. Create catalog pointing to internal URLs
+3. Host catalog on internal web server
+
+```json
+{
+  "jira": {
+    "download_url": "https://files.internal/spec-kit/jira-2.1.0.zip"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Development/Testing
+
+Test new extensions before publishing:
+
+```bash
+# Start local server
+python -m http.server 8000 --directory ./my-catalog/
+
+# Point spec-kit to local catalog
+export SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="http://localhost:8000/catalog.json"
+
+# Test installation
+specify extension add my-new-extension
+```
+
+### Combining with Direct Installation
+
+You can still install extensions not in your catalog using `--from`:
+
+```bash
+# From catalog
+specify extension add jira
+
+# Direct URL (bypasses catalog)
+specify extension add --from https://github.com/someone/spec-kit-ext/archive/v1.0.0.zip
+
+# Local development
+specify extension add --dev /path/to/extension
+```
+
+**Note**: Direct URL installation shows a security warning since the extension isn't from your configured catalog.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Extension Not Found
+
+**Error**: `Extension 'jira' not found in catalog
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check spelling: `specify extension search jira`
+2. Refresh catalog: `specify extension search --help`
+3. Check internet connection
+4. Extension may not be published yet
+
+### Configuration Not Found
+
+**Error**: `Jira configuration not found`
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check if extension is installed: `specify extension list`
+2. Create config from template:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.template.yml \
+      .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml
+   ```
+
+3. Reinstall extension: `specify extension remove jira && specify extension add jira`
+
+### Command Not Available
+
+**Issue**: Extension command not appearing in AI agent
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check extension is enabled: `specify extension list`
+2. Restart AI agent (Claude Code)
+3. Check command file exists:
+
+   ```bash
+   ls .claude/commands/speckit.jira.*.md
+   ```
+
+4. Reinstall extension
+
+### Incompatible Version
+
+**Error**: `Extension requires spec-kit >=0.2.0, but you have 0.1.0`
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Upgrade spec-kit:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv tool upgrade specify-cli
+   ```
+
+2. Install older version of extension:
+
+   ```bash
+   specify extension add --from https://github.com/org/ext/archive/v1.0.0.zip
+   ```
+
+### MCP Tool Not Available
+
+**Error**: `Tool 'jira-mcp-server/epic_create' not found`
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check MCP server is installed
+2. Check AI agent MCP configuration
+3. Restart AI agent
+4. Check extension requirements: `specify extension info jira`
+
+### Permission Denied
+
+**Error**: `Permission denied` when accessing Jira
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. Check Jira credentials in MCP server config
+2. Verify project permissions in Jira
+3. Test MCP server connection independently
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Version Control
+
+**Do commit**:
+
+- `.specify/extensions.yml` (project extension config)
+- `.specify/extensions/*/jira-config.yml` (project config)
+
+**Don't commit**:
+
+- `.specify/extensions/.cache/` (catalog cache)
+- `.specify/extensions/.backup/` (config backups)
+- `.specify/extensions/*/*.local.yml` (local overrides)
+- `.specify/extensions/.registry` (installation state)
+
+Add to `.gitignore`:
+
+```gitignore
+.specify/extensions/.cache/
+.specify/extensions/.backup/
+.specify/extensions/*/*.local.yml
+.specify/extensions/.registry
+```
+
+### 2. Team Workflows
+
+**For teams**:
+
+1. Agree on which extensions to use
+2. Commit extension configuration
+3. Document extension usage in README
+4. Keep extensions updated together
+
+**Example README section**:
+
+```markdown
+## Extensions
+
+This project uses:
+- **jira** (v1.0.0) - Jira integration
+  - Config: `.specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml`
+  - Requires: jira-mcp-server
+
+To install: `specify extension add jira`
+```
+
+### 3. Local Development
+
+Use local config for development:
+
+```yaml
+# .specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.local.yml
+project:
+  key: "DEVTEST"  # Your test project
+
+defaults:
+  task:
+    custom_fields:
+      customfield_10002: 1  # Lower story points for testing
+```
+
+### 4. Environment-Specific Config
+
+Use environment variables for CI/CD:
+
+```bash
+# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
+env:
+  SPECKIT_JIRA_PROJECT_KEY: ${{ secrets.JIRA_PROJECT }}
+
+- name: Create Jira Issues
+  run: specify extension add jira && ...
+```
+
+### 5. Extension Updates
+
+**Check for updates regularly**:
+
+```bash
+# Weekly or before major releases
+specify extension update
+```
+
+**Pin versions for stability**:
+
+```yaml
+# .specify/extensions.yml
+installed:
+  - id: jira
+    version: "1.0.0"  # Pin to specific version
+```
+
+### 6. Minimal Extensions
+
+Only install extensions you actively use:
+
+- Reduces complexity
+- Faster command loading
+- Less configuration
+
+### 7. Documentation
+
+Document extension usage in your project:
+
+```markdown
+# PROJECT.md
+
+## Working with Jira
+
+After creating tasks, sync to Jira:
+1. Run `/speckit.tasks` to generate tasks
+2. Run `/speckit.jira.specstoissues` to create Jira issues
+3. Run `/speckit.jira.sync-status` to update status
+```
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Q: Can I use multiple extensions at once?
+
+**A**: Yes! Extensions are designed to work together. Install as many as you need.
+
+### Q: Do extensions slow down spec-kit?
+
+**A**: No. Extensions are loaded on-demand and only when their commands are used.
+
+### Q: Can I create private extensions?
+
+**A**: Yes. Install with `--dev` or `--from` and keep private. Public catalog submission is optional.
+
+### Q: How do I know if an extension is safe?
+
+**A**: Look for the ✓ Verified badge. Verified extensions are reviewed by maintainers. Always review extension code before installing.
+
+### Q: Can extensions modify spec-kit core?
+
+**A**: No. Extensions can only add commands and hooks. They cannot modify core functionality.
+
+### Q: What happens if two extensions have the same command name?
+
+**A**: Extensions use namespaced commands (`speckit.{extension}.{command}`), so conflicts are very rare. The extension system will warn you if conflicts occur.
+
+### Q: Can I contribute to existing extensions?
+
+**A**: Yes! Most extensions are open source. Check the repository link in `specify extension info {extension}`.
+
+### Q: How do I report extension bugs?
+
+**A**: Go to the extension's repository (shown in `specify extension info`) and create an issue.
+
+### Q: Can extensions work offline?
+
+**A**: Once installed, extensions work offline. However, some extensions may require internet for their functionality (e.g., Jira requires Jira API access).
+
+### Q: How do I backup my extension configuration?
+
+**A**: Extension configs are in `.specify/extensions/{extension}/`. Back up this directory or commit configs to git.

+---
+
+# Example Command
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace this entire file with your command documentation -->
+
+This is an example command that demonstrates how to create commands for Spec Kit extensions.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Describe what this command does and when to use it.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+List requirements before using this command:
+
+1. Prerequisite 1 (e.g., "MCP server configured")
+2. Prerequisite 2 (e.g., "Configuration file exists")
+3. Prerequisite 3 (e.g., "Valid API credentials")
+
+## User Input
+
+$ARGUMENTS
+
+## Steps
+
+### Step 1: Load Configuration
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace with your actual steps -->
+
+Load extension configuration from the project:
+
+``bash
+config_file=".specify/extensions/my-extension/my-extension-config.yml"
+
+if [ ! -f "$config_file" ]; then
+  echo "❌ Error: Configuration not found at $config_file"
+  echo "Run 'specify extension add my-extension' to install and configure"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+# Read configuration values
+
+setting_value=$(yq eval '.settings.key' "$config_file")
+
+# Apply environment variable overrides
+
+setting_value="${SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY:-$setting_value}"
+
+# Validate configuration
+
+if [ -z "$setting_value" ]; then
+  echo "❌ Error: Configuration value not set"
+  echo "Edit $config_file and set 'settings.key'"
+  exit 1
+fi
+
+echo "📋 Configuration loaded: $setting_value"
+``
+
+### Step 2: Perform Main Action
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Replace with your command logic -->
+
+Describe what this step does:
+
+``markdown
+Use MCP tools to perform the main action:
+
+- Tool: example-mcp-server example_tool
+- Parameters: { "key": "$setting_value" }
+
+This calls the MCP server tool to execute the operation.
+``
+
+### Step 3: Process Results
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add more steps as needed -->
+
+Process the results and provide output:
+
+`` bash
+echo ""
+echo "✅ Command completed successfully!"
+echo ""
+echo "Results:"
+echo "  • Item 1: Value"
+echo "  • Item 2: Value"
+echo ""
+``
+
+### Step 4: Save Output (Optional)
+
+Save results to a file if needed:
+
+``bash
+output_file=".specify/my-extension-output.json"
+
+cat > "$output_file" <<EOF
+{
+  "timestamp": "$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")",
+  "setting": "$setting_value",
+  "results": []
+}
+EOF
+
+echo "💾 Output saved to $output_file"
+``
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Document configuration options -->
+
+This command uses the following configuration from `my-extension-config.yml`:
+
+- **settings.key**: Description of what this setting does
+  - Type: string
+  - Required: Yes
+  - Example: `"example-value"`
+
+- **settings.another_key**: Description of another setting
+  - Type: boolean
+  - Required: No
+  - Default: `false`
+  - Example: `true`
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Document environment variable overrides -->
+
+Configuration can be overridden with environment variables:
+
+- `SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY` - Overrides `settings.key`
+- `SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_ANOTHER_KEY` - Overrides `settings.another_key`
+
+Example:
+``bash
+export SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY="override-value"
+``
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add common issues and solutions -->
+
+### "Configuration not found"
+
+**Solution**: Install the extension and create configuration:
+``bash
+specify extension add my-extension
+cp .specify/extensions/my-extension/config-template.yml \
+   .specify/extensions/my-extension/my-extension-config.yml
+``
+
+### "MCP tool not available"
+
+**Solution**: Ensure MCP server is configured in your AI agent settings.
+
+### "Permission denied"
+
+**Solution**: Check credentials and permissions in the external service.
+
+## Notes
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add helpful notes and tips -->
+
+- This command requires an active connection to the external service
+- Results are cached for performance
+- Re-run the command to refresh data
+
+## Examples
+
+<!-- CUSTOMIZE: Add usage examples -->
+
+### Example 1: Basic Usage
+
+``bash
+
+# Run with default configuration
+>
+> /speckit.my-extension.example
+``
+
+### Example 2: With Environment Override
+
+``bash
+
+# Override configuration with environment variable
+
+export SPECKIT_MY_EXTENSION_KEY="custom-value"
+> /speckit.my-extension.example
+``
+
+### Example 3: After Core Command
+
+``bash
+
+# Use as part of a workflow
+>
+> /speckit.tasks
+> /speckit.my-extension.example
+``

+# Update agent context files with information from plan.md
+#
+# This script maintains AI agent context files by parsing feature specifications 
+# and updating agent-specific configuration files with project information.
+#
+# MAIN FUNCTIONS:
+# 1. Environment Validation
+#    - Verifies git repository structure and branch information
+#    - Checks for required plan.md files and templates
+#    - Validates file permissions and accessibility
+#
+# 2. Plan Data Extraction
+#    - Parses plan.md files to extract project metadata
+#    - Identifies language/version, frameworks, databases, and project types
+#    - Handles missing or incomplete specification data gracefully
+#
+# 3. Agent File Management
+#    - Creates new agent context files from templates when needed
+#    - Updates existing agent files with new project information
+#    - Preserves manual additions and custom configurations
+#    - Supports multiple AI agent formats and directory structures
+#
+# 4. Content Generation
+#    - Generates language-specific build/test commands
+#    - Creates appropriate project directory structures
+#    - Updates technology stacks and recent changes sections
+#    - Maintains consistent formatting and timestamps
+#
+# 5. Multi-Agent Support
+#    - Handles agent-specific file paths and naming conventions
+#    - Supports: Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Qwen, opencode, Codex, Windsurf, Kilo Code, Auggie CLI, Roo Code, CodeBuddy CLI, Qoder CLI, Amp, SHAI, Amazon Q Developer CLI, or Antigravity
+#    - Can update single agents or all existing agent files
+#    - Creates default Claude file if no agent files exist
+#
+# Usage: ./update-agent-context.sh [agent_type]
+# Agent types: claude|gemini|copilot|cursor-agent|qwen|opencode|codex|windsurf|kilocode|auggie|roo|codebuddy|amp|shai|q|agy|bob|qoder
+# Leave empty to update all existing agent files

+.SYNOPSIS
+Update agent context files with information from plan.md (PowerShell version)
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+Mirrors the behavior of scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh:
+ 1. Environment Validation
+ 2. Plan Data Extraction
+ 3. Agent File Management (create from template or update existing)
+ 4. Content Generation (technology stack, recent changes, timestamp)
+ 5. Multi-Agent Support (claude, gemini, copilot, cursor-agent, qwen, opencode, codex, windsurf, kilocode, auggie, roo, codebuddy, amp, shai, q, agy, bob, qoder)
+
+.PARAMETER AgentType
+Optional agent key to update a single agent. If omitted, updates all existing agent files (creating a default Claude file if none exist).
+
+.EXAMPLE
+./update-agent-context.ps1 -AgentType claude
+
+.EXAMPLE
+./update-agent-context.ps1   # Updates all existing agent files

+# [CHECKLIST TYPE] Checklist: [FEATURE NAME]
+
+**Purpose**: [Brief description of what this checklist covers]
+**Created**: [DATE]
+**Feature**: [Link to spec.md or relevant documentation]
+
+**Note**: This checklist is generated by the `/speckit.checklist` command based on feature context and requirements.
+
+<!-- 
+  ============================================================================
+  IMPORTANT: The checklist items below are SAMPLE ITEMS for illustration only.
+  
+  The /speckit.checklist command MUST replace these with actual items based on:
+  - User's specific checklist request
+  - Feature requirements from spec.md
+  - Technical context from plan.md
+  - Implementation details from tasks.md
+  
+  DO NOT keep these sample items in the generated checklist file.

+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Goal
+
+Identify inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across the three core artifacts (`spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`) before implementation. This command MUST run only after `/speckit.tasks` has successfully produced a complete `tasks.md`.
+
+## Operating Constraints
+
+**STRICTLY READ-ONLY**: Do **not** modify any files. Output a structured analysis report. Offer an optional remediation plan (user must explicitly approve before any follow-up editing commands would be invoked manually).
+
+**Constitution Authority**: The project constitution (`/memory/constitution.md`) is **non-negotiable** within this analysis scope. Constitution conflicts are automatically CRITICAL and require adjustment of the spec, plan, or tasks—not dilution, reinterpretation, or silent ignoring of the principle. If a principle itself needs to change, that must occur in a separate, explicit constitution update outside `/speckit.analyze`.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### 1. Initialize Analysis Context
+
+Run `{SCRIPT}` once from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. Derive absolute paths:
+
+- SPEC = FEATURE_DIR/spec.md
+- PLAN = FEATURE_DIR/plan.md
+- TASKS = FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md
+
+Abort with an error message if any required file is missing (instruct the user to run missing prerequisite command).
+For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+### 2. Load Artifacts (Progressive Disclosure)
+
+Load only the minimal necessary context from each artifact:
+
+**From spec.md:**
+
+- Overview/Context
+- Functional Requirements
+- Non-Functional Requirements
+- User Stories
+- Edge Cases (if present)
+
+**From plan.md:**
+
+- Architecture/stack choices
+- Data Model references
+- Phases
+- Technical constraints
+
+**From tasks.md:**
+
+- Task IDs
+- Descriptions
+- Phase grouping
+- Parallel markers [P]
+- Referenced file paths
+
+**From constitution:**
+
+- Load `/memory/constitution.md` for principle validation
+
+### 3. Build Semantic Models
+
+Create internal representations (do not include raw artifacts in output):
+
+- **Requirements inventory**: Each functional + non-functional requirement with a stable key (derive slug based on imperative phrase; e.g., "User can upload file" → `user-can-upload-file`)
+- **User story/action inventory**: Discrete user actions with acceptance criteria
+- **Task coverage mapping**: Map each task to one or more requirements or stories (inference by keyword / explicit reference patterns like IDs or key phrases)
+- **Constitution rule set**: Extract principle names and MUST/SHOULD normative statements
+
+### 4. Detection Passes (Token-Efficient Analysis)
+
+Focus on high-signal findings. Limit to 50 findings total; aggregate remainder in overflow summary.
+
+#### A. Duplication Detection
+
+- Identify near-duplicate requirements
+- Mark lower-quality phrasing for consolidation
+
+#### B. Ambiguity Detection
+
+- Flag vague adjectives (fast, scalable, secure, intuitive, robust) lacking measurable criteria
+- Flag unresolved placeholders (TODO, TKTK, ???, `<placeholder>`, etc.)
+
+#### C. Underspecification
+
+- Requirements with verbs but missing object or measurable outcome
+- User stories missing acceptance criteria alignment
+- Tasks referencing files or components not defined in spec/plan
+
+#### D. Constitution Alignment
+
+- Any requirement or plan element conflicting with a MUST principle
+- Missing mandated sections or quality gates from constitution
+
+#### E. Coverage Gaps
+
+- Requirements with zero associated tasks
+- Tasks with no mapped requirement/story
+- Non-functional requirements not reflected in tasks (e.g., performance, security)
+
+#### F. Inconsistency
+
+- Terminology drift (same concept named differently across files)
+- Data entities referenced in plan but absent in spec (or vice versa)
+- Task ordering contradictions (e.g., integration tasks before foundational setup tasks without dependency note)
+- Conflicting requirements (e.g., one requires Next.js while other specifies Vue)
+
+### 5. Severity Assignment
+
+Use this heuristic to prioritize findings:
+
+- **CRITICAL**: Violates constitution MUST, missing core spec artifact, or requirement with zero coverage that blocks baseline functionality
+- **HIGH**: Duplicate or conflicting requirement, ambiguous security/performance attribute, untestable acceptance criterion
+- **MEDIUM**: Terminology drift, missing non-functional task coverage, underspecified edge case
+- **LOW**: Style/wording improvements, minor redundancy not affecting execution order
+
+### 6. Produce Compact Analysis Report
+
+Output a Markdown report (no file writes) with the following structure:
+
+## Specification Analysis Report
+
+| ID | Category | Severity | Location(s) | Summary | Recommendation |
+|----|----------|----------|-------------|---------|----------------|
+| A1 | Duplication | HIGH | spec.md:L120-134 | Two similar requirements ... | Merge phrasing; keep clearer version |
+
+(Add one row per finding; generate stable IDs prefixed by category initial.)
+
+**Coverage Summary Table:**
+
+| Requirement Key | Has Task? | Task IDs | Notes |
+|-----------------|-----------|----------|-------|
+
+**Constitution Alignment Issues:** (if any)
+
+**Unmapped Tasks:** (if any)
+
