-# 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.

-
-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.

-#### Articles IV, V & VI: Project-Defined Governance
-
-Articles IV, V, and VI are intentionally defined by each project's constitution rather than prescribed by Spec Kit. The constitution template provides placeholder slots and example concerns such as integration testing, observability, versioning, and breaking changes, but teams replace those placeholders with the principles that match their system and organization.
-
-This keeps the nine-article structure stable while allowing each project to encode its own non-negotiable standards. For one project, Article IV might govern security and access boundaries; for another, it might define integration test requirements. The `/speckit.analyze` command evaluates the concrete constitution in the project, so these project-defined articles participate in compliance checks just like the built-in examples.

 ### 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
