 ### 2c. Repository validation
 - Fetch the repository URL — confirm it exists and is publicly accessible
 - Confirm the repository contains a `preset.yml` file
-- Confirm the repository contains a `README.md` file
 - Confirm the repository contains a `LICENSE` file
 
-### 2d. Release and download URL validation
+> The README requirement is enforced once, in **Step 2d**, against the specific file the
+> `documentation` field points to — not a generic repository-root `README.md`. This avoids
+> the monorepo false-positive where a root README exists but isn't the preset-usage doc.
+
+### 2d. Documentation README validation
+
+The `documentation` field must point to the README that explains **how to use this
+preset** — not just any file named `README.md`, and not a product/framework pitch.
+
+- **Restrict the URL to GitHub before fetching.** The `documentation` value is
+  user-provided input. Only accept GitHub-hosted README URLs:
+  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>`
+  - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>`
+  - `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>`
+
+  If the URL points anywhere else (or isn't a URL), **fail this check** and do not fetch it.
+- **Require the URL to point at a README file.** After stripping any fragment/query (see
+  below), the URL path must end with `README.md` (case-insensitive). If it points at some
+  other Markdown file, **fail this check** and ask the submitter to link the preset's README.
+- Fetch the **exact URL** in the `documentation` field. First strip any fragment (`#...`)
+  or query string (`?...`) — these are common when copying from the browser UI and must be
+  ignored so the fetch target is deterministic. Then resolve the raw content to fetch:
+  - For a `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path>` URL, fetch the equivalent
+    `github.com/<owner>/<repo>/raw/<ref>/<path>` URL (only swap `/blob/` → `/raw/`).
+  - Fetch `github.com/.../raw/...` and `raw.githubusercontent.com/...` URLs as-is.
+
+  Do **not** rewrite into `raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>` form — that
+  format can't reliably represent refs containing slashes (e.g. a `feature/foo` branch).
+  Confirm the fetched URL resolves to a readable Markdown file.
+- **Validate that the README contains a valid Spec Kit CLI install command.** The fetched
+  README must contain at least one `specify preset add ...` invocation. The strongest
+  signal is the catalog-install form whose URL matches the submitted **Download URL**:
+  - `specify preset add --from <download-url>` (preferred), or
+  - `specify preset add <preset-id>`, or
+  - `specify preset add --dev <path>`
+
+  A `specify preset add --from <url>` command only counts when its `<url>` **matches the
+  submitted Download URL exactly**. A `--from` command pointing at a *different* URL does
+  **not** satisfy the install-command requirement (treat it as if absent) — but the README
+  may still pass on one of the other accepted forms (`specify preset add <preset-id>` or
+  `specify preset add --dev <path>`).
+
+  If **no** accepted `specify preset add ...` command is present, the README is treated as a
+  generic description/pitch rather than preset-usage documentation — **fail this check** and
+  tell the submitter to add a valid install command (ideally
+  `specify preset add --from <download-url>`).
+- **Prefer a preset-scoped README in monorepos.** If `documentation` resolves to a generic
+  repository-root README in a monorepo (the preset lives in a subdirectory such as
+  `presets/<id>/` and a preset-scoped README exists there), **flag it** in your comment and
+  recommend the submitter point `documentation` at the preset-scoped README
+  (e.g. `presets/<id>/README.md`) so the catalog surfaces usage instead of marketing. Treat
+  this as a flag rather than a hard failure **only if** the root README still contains a valid
+  `specify preset add ...` command for this preset; otherwise it fails check 2d above.
+
+### 2e. Release and download URL validation
 - The download URL should follow the pattern
   `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/archive/refs/tags/v<version>.zip`
   or
   `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/releases/download/<tag>/<asset>.zip`
 - Verify a GitHub release exists matching the submitted version
 
-### 2e. Submission checklists

 - Confirm that all required checkboxes in the Testing Checklist and Submission

+# Using Spec Kit in a Monorepo
+
+A Spec Kit project is **directory-scoped**: the project is whichever directory
+contains `.specify/`. A monorepo can hold several independent Spec Kit projects
+under one repository root, each with its own `.specify/`, `specs/`, constitution,
+and feature numbering.
+
+Root resolution already prefers the **nearest** `.specify/` over the Git
+toplevel, so commands run from inside a member project resolve to that project,
+not the repo root.
+
+## Layout
+
+```text
+my-monorepo/
+├── .git/                     # one Git repository at the root
+├── apps/
+│   ├── web/
+│   │   └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "web"
+│   │       └── memory/constitution.md
+│   └── api/
+│       └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "api"
+│           └── memory/constitution.md
+└── packages/
+    └── ui/
+        └── .specify/         # Spec Kit project "ui"
+```
+
+Initialize each member project independently:
+
+```bash
+specify init apps/web --integration claude
+specify init apps/api --integration claude
+```
+
+Each project keeps its own `specs/` directory and numbers features
+independently (`apps/web/specs/001-…`, `apps/api/specs/001-…`).
+
+## Working inside a member project
+
+The default workflow is unchanged: change into the project directory and run the
+slash commands. Root resolution finds the nearest `.specify/`.
+
+```bash
+cd apps/web
+# then run /speckit.specify, /speckit.plan, … in your agent
+```
+
+## Targeting a member project from the repo root
+
+For non-interactive or CI runs where you do not want to `cd`, set
+**`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR`** to the member project root (the directory *containing*
+`.specify/`). Relative paths resolve against the current directory.
+
+```bash
+# operate on apps/web from the monorepo root (no cd required)
+export SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps/web
+```
+
+The path must exist and contain `.specify/`. If it does not, the command
+**errors and does not fall back** to the current directory or the Git toplevel.
+This is deliberate: a typo never writes specs into the wrong project. A
+nonexistent path is reported as you typed it; a path that exists but is not a
+Spec Kit project is reported as its resolved absolute path:
+
+```text
+# SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps/wbe  (typo: no such directory)
+ERROR: SPECIFY_INIT_DIR does not point to an existing directory: apps/wbe
+
+# SPECIFY_INIT_DIR=apps  (exists, but has no .specify/ of its own)
+ERROR: SPECIFY_INIT_DIR is not a Spec Kit project (no .specify/ directory): /home/you/my-monorepo/apps
+```
+
+`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` selects the **project**; `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` selects
+the **feature** within it. They compose: set both to pick a project and a
+feature non-interactively. See the
+[`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` reference](../reference/core.md#environment-variables) for
+the full contract and the two-axes model.
+
+## How `SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` reaches your agent
+
+`SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` is read by the shell scripts that the slash commands invoke
+(`get_repo_root` in Bash, `Get-RepoRoot` in PowerShell). It takes effect only
+when it is present in the environment of the shell that runs those scripts.
+
+- **Scripted / CI runs:** export it in the same shell that drives the commands;
+  it is reliable there.
+- **Interactive agents:** whether an exported variable reaches the shell tool an
+  agent uses is agent-specific. Export `SPECIFY_INIT_DIR` *before* launching the
+  agent, and verify once (e.g. run `/speckit.specify` and confirm the new feature
+  landed under the intended project's `specs/`).
+
+## Git in a monorepo
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Spec Kit project files are scoped to the **resolved project root**, but Git
+> operations still run in the containing Git work tree. In a monorepo with a
+> single Git repository at the root and projects in subdirectories, feature
+> branch creation creates or switches branches in the shared root repository.
+> Spec directories still live under the selected member project, while the Git
+> branch namespace is shared by the whole monorepo. Manage branches and commits
+> at the repository root, or initialize Git per member project if you want
+> isolated per-project branch namespaces.
+
+## Constitutions
+
+Each member project has its own `.specify/memory/constitution.md` and
+`/speckit.constitution` edits the local project's file. Spec Kit does not provide
+a built-in base/inheritance mechanism; if you want one constitution to reference
+shared rules elsewhere in the monorepo, you need to maintain that wiring yourself.
+Otherwise, duplicate or sync shared engineering rules per project.

 ## File Resolution
 
-Presets can provide command files, template files (like `plan-template.md`), and script files. These are resolved at runtime using a **replace** strategy — the first match in the priority stack wins and is used entirely. Each file is looked up independently, so different files can come from different layers.
+Presets can provide command files, template files (like `plan-template.md`), and script files. Each file name is evaluated independently against the priority stack, so different files can come from different layers.
 
-> **Note:** Additional composition strategies (`append`, `prepend`, `wrap`) are planned for a future release.
+Templates and scripts are looked up from the stack when Spec Kit needs them. Commands use the same stack for replacement and composition, but are materialized into detected agent directories instead of being re-resolved by agents. During preset install, Spec Kit registers command files for the preset being installed; post-install and post-removal reconciliation then recomputes and writes the effective command content for affected command names based on the active stack. Agents do not re-resolve the stack each time they run a command.
+
+By default, files use a **replace** strategy: the first match in the priority stack wins and is used entirely. Templates and commands can also use composition strategies: **prepend** places preset content before lower-priority content, **append** places it after lower-priority content, and **wrap** replaces `{CORE_TEMPLATE}` with lower-priority content. Scripts support **replace** and **wrap**; script wrappers use `$CORE_SCRIPT` as the placeholder.

 ```
 
+### Usage README Requirements
+
+The catalog `documentation` field must point at a README that explains how to use
+**this preset** — not a product pitch for a broader framework or a separate CLI.
+
+The submission workflow **mechanically enforces** that the linked README is a GitHub-hosted
+URL whose path ends with `README.md`, resolves to a readable file, and contains at least one
+valid `specify preset add ...` command. The remaining items (preferring a preset-scoped README
+in monorepos, covering the minimum structure) are expectations a human reviewer checks —
+follow them so your submission isn't sent back for changes.
+
+- **Point `documentation` at the preset-scoped README.** In a monorepo where the preset
+  lives in a subdirectory (e.g. `presets/<id>/`), link the README inside that directory
+  (`presets/<id>/README.md`) rather than the repository-root README. The root README is
+  often a marketing/overview page; the catalog should surface preset usage instead. The key
+  requirement is that this README is reachable at the `documentation` URL so users can read
+  it *before* downloading the release artifact — it's fine for the same file to also ship
+  inside the release ZIP.
+- **Include a valid Spec Kit CLI install command** *(enforced)*. The linked README must
+  contain at least one `specify preset add ...` invocation. Preferably use the
+  catalog-install form whose URL matches your Download URL:
+
+  ```bash
+  # <download-url> is the same URL you submit as the catalog Download URL —
+  # either the tag archive or a release asset, e.g.:
+  specify preset add --from https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/archive/refs/tags/vX.Y.Z.zip
+  specify preset add --from https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/<id>-X.Y.Z.zip
+  ```
+
+  `specify preset add <id>` and `specify preset add --dev <path>` are also accepted, but the
+  `--from <download-url>` form is the clearest signal that the README documents this exact
+  preset release.
+- **Cover the minimum structure** so a reader can decide whether the preset fits:
+  - What the preset does / what it provides
+  - The install command using Spec Kit CLI syntax (above)
+  - When to use it / when not to use it
+
+A submission whose linked README lacks a valid `specify preset add ...` command **fails
+validation** (workflow check 2d) and will not be added until corrected.

-    helper resolves such a URL to the matching GitHub REST API asset URL
-    (``https://api.github.com/repos/…/releases/assets/<id>``), which can
-    then be downloaded with ``Accept: application/octet-stream`` and an
-    auth token to retrieve the actual file payload.
+    Works for public ``github.com`` and for GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES)
+    hosts. A host is treated as GHES when it matches one of *github_hosts*
+    (exact hostname or ``*.suffix``) — supply the hosts the user has trusted
+    under a ``github`` provider in ``auth.json``. This allowlist is the
+    security gate: unlisted hosts never receive GHES API treatment, so a
+    malicious catalog cannot induce an API request to an arbitrary host.
 
-    If *download_url* is already a REST API asset URL, it is returned
-    as-is.  Non-GitHub URLs and GitHub URLs that are not release-download
-    URLs return ``None``.  If the API lookup fails (e.g. network error or
-    asset not found), ``None`` is returned so callers can fall back to the
-    original URL.
+    For a public URL the API base is ``https://api.github.com``; for a GHES
+    host it is ``{scheme}://{host[:port]}/api/v3``. Returns the API asset URL
+    (downloadable with ``Accept: application/octet-stream`` + a token), the
+    input unchanged if it is already an API asset URL, or ``None`` when the
+    URL is not a resolvable GitHub release download or the lookup fails.
 
     Args:
         download_url: The URL to resolve.
         open_url_fn: A callable compatible with
-            ``specify_cli.authentication.http.open_url`` used to make the
-            authenticated API request.
+            ``specify_cli.authentication.http.open_url`` used for the
+            authenticated release-metadata lookup.
         timeout: Per-request timeout in seconds.
-
-    Returns:
-        The resolved REST API asset URL, or ``None`` if resolution is not
-        applicable or fails.
+        github_hosts: Host patterns to treat as GitHub Enterprise Server.

 ### Shell Steps
 
+- **Shell runs with the user's privileges** — a `shell` step executes a local command directly; there is no capability sandbox. `requires` is an advisory pre-condition block (recognised keys: `speckit_version`, `integrations`), **not** a runtime permission gate — there is no `requires.permissions`. Gate sensitive commands explicitly with a `gate` step.
 - **Avoid destructive commands** — don't delete files or directories without explicit confirmation via a gate
 - **Quote variables** — use proper quoting in shell commands to handle spaces
 - **Check exit codes** — shell step failures stop the workflow; make sure commands are robust
 
+#### Security: shell steps execute arbitrary code
+
+Workflow `shell` steps execute their `run` field through `/bin/sh` (POSIX) or the platform shell. There is no sandbox between the step and the user's machine: a malicious or buggy `run` block can read environment variables, modify files outside the project, exfiltrate data, or escalate privileges.
+
+Catalog-listed workflows are reviewed at submission time (see [Verification Process](#verification-process)), but you should still treat every install as code-execution from an untrusted source until you have read the `workflow.yml`:
+
+- **Before installing a workflow**, fetch the raw YAML and audit every `shell` step's `run` field directly. `specify workflow info <name>` only shows metadata (name, version, inputs, step IDs/types) — not the shell content that would actually execute.
+- **Prefer explicit commands over interpolation** in `run` blocks: `{{ inputs.something }}` substitutions should be quoted and constrained via `enum` so a malicious input can't inject shell syntax.
+- **Limit privilege**: shell steps inherit the user's environment. Workflows that need elevated access (sudo, secrets, GitHub tokens) should call them out explicitly in the README so reviewers can spot the requirement.
+- **Authors**: if your workflow has shell steps that look risky out of context (deletions, network calls, credential reads), document the rationale in your README. Maintainers will reject submissions whose shell steps can't be justified at review time.
+
 ### Integration Flexibility
 
 - **Set `integration` at workflow level** — use the `workflow.integration` field as the default
