-## Quickstart — Add a New Integration in 5 Steps
-
-If you are new to the codebase and want to add support for a new AI agent, here is the shortest path from zero to a working integration:
-
-1. **Choose a base class** — most agents only need `MarkdownIntegration`. See [Choose a base class](#1-choose-a-base-class).
-2. **Create a subpackage** — add `src/specify_cli/integrations/<package_dir>/__init__.py` with the required `key`, `config`, and `registrar_config` fields.
-3. **Register it** — add one import and one `_register()` call in `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py` (both alphabetical).
-4. **Write a test file** — create `tests/integrations/test_integration_<key>.py` (hyphens in the key become underscores in the filename).
-5. **Run and verify** — use `specify init --integration <key>` to exercise the full install/uninstall cycle.
-
-Each step is expanded under [Adding a New Integration](#adding-a-new-integration). Note that agent **context files** (`CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, …) are **not** handled by the integration — that is owned by the opt-in `agent-context` extension; see [Context file behavior](#4-context-file-behavior).
-

 ## Integration Architecture

 Each AI agent is a self-contained **integration subpackage** under `src/specify_cli/integrations/<key>/`. The subpackage exposes a single class that declares all metadata and inherits setup/teardown logic from a base class. Built-in integrations are then instantiated and added to the global `INTEGRATION_REGISTRY` by `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py` via `_register_builtins()`.

-## IntegrationManifest — File Tracking
-
-`manifest.py` provides the `IntegrationManifest` class, which records every file an integration installs. This record is what makes uninstall reliable and safe.
-
-### How it works
-
-`setup()` receives an `IntegrationManifest` and writes files through it rather than touching the filesystem directly:
-
-```python
-# Produce a new file and record its hash for later verification.
-manifest.record_file("commands/speckit.plan.md", processed_content)
-
-# Adopt a pre-existing file the integration is now responsible for.
-manifest.record_existing(".vscode/settings.json")
-```
-
-The manifest is persisted at `.specify/integrations/<key>.manifest.json` (one per integration, keyed by `key`) and stores a SHA-256 hash per file. When the user runs `specify integration uninstall <key>`, `teardown()` delegates to `manifest.uninstall()`, which removes only files whose current hash still matches the recorded value — so files the user later edited by hand are skipped, not clobbered (use `specify integration uninstall <key> --force` to remove modified tracked files anyway).
-
-### Why this matters
-
-Without hash-tracked manifests, uninstall would either remove files it should not (destructive) or leave orphans behind (messy). If you write a custom `setup()`, route **every** file you create through `manifest.record_file(...)` (or `record_existing(...)` for files you adopt) so uninstall can reason about them.

-## Error Handling and Debugging
-
-### Common Errors and Fixes
-
-| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
-|---|---|---|
-| `Integration '<key>' not found` | Missing `_register()` call | Add `_register(<Name>Integration())` inside `_register_builtins()` |
-| `NameError: name '<Name>Integration' is not defined` at startup | Missing import | Add `from .<package_dir> import <Name>Integration` inside `_register_builtins()` |
-| CLI check fails for a `requires_cli: True` agent | `key` does not match the executable name | Set `key` to the exact name `shutil.which(key)` must resolve (e.g. `"cursor-agent"`, not `"cursor"`) |
-| Command files have the wrong argument syntax | Wrong `args` value in `registrar_config` | Use `$ARGUMENTS` for Markdown agents, `{{args}}` for TOML/YAML agents, or the agent's custom placeholder |
-| `ModuleNotFoundError` on a brand-new subpackage under pytest only | Ambient interpreter with a stale editable `.pth` | Run inside this tree's own venv (see Common Pitfall 6) |
-| Uninstall leaves files behind, or skips files you expected removed | Files not recorded via the manifest, or their hash changed after install | Route every created file through `manifest.record_file(...)`; user-edited files are intentionally skipped unless `force=True` |
-| Context file (`CLAUDE.md`, etc.) not updated | Expecting the CLI to manage it | Context files are owned by the opt-in `agent-context` extension, not the integration — see [Context file behavior](#4-context-file-behavior) |
-
-### Debugging Tips
-
-**Inspect the manifest** to see what an installed integration tracks:
-
-```bash
-cat .specify/integrations/<key>.manifest.json
-```
-
-**Verify a CLI tool is detected** before debugging a `requires_cli` agent:
-
-```bash
-which <key>        # Should print the executable path if installed
-```
-
-**Verify the installed output structure** after `specify init`:
-
-```bash
-find my-project/<folder> -type f
-```

-## Contribution Checklist
-
-Before opening or merging an integration PR, confirm the following:
-
- [ ] Added the integration subpackage under `src/specify_cli/integrations/<package_dir>/`.
- [ ] Registered it (import **and** `_register()`) in `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py`, both alphabetical.
- [ ] Added or updated tests in `tests/integrations/test_integration_<key>.py`.
- [ ] Verified the install/uninstall flow with `specify init --integration <key>`.
- [ ] Did **not** add `context_file` handling to the CLI (that belongs to the `agent-context` extension).
- [ ] Updated devcontainer files if the agent needs a VS Code extension or CLI install step.
- [ ] Updated this guide or other relevant docs if the integration has special setup or limitations.

 ## Overview

-`assess` runs inside an initialized Spec Kit project (it writes assessments under `.specify/assessments/`), but that project can be **completely empty of source code** — a freshly initialized project with no code works just as well as an established codebase. The input is just an idea: pasted text, a URL, or a ticket need no existing code, while a codebase pointer lets you assess an idea for code that already exists. Neither starting point is more "correct" than the other.
-
 Each idea lives in its own directory under `.specify/assessments/<slug>/`, with one Markdown artifact per stage:

@@ -21,8 +21,6 @@ The user input is the idea and (optionally) a slug. Treat it as one of:
 3. **A codebase pointer** — phrasing like "an idea for this repo" or a path. Read enough of the repository to record what the idea relates to.
 4. **A mix** of the above.

-There is **no requirement for existing source code**: within an initialized Spec Kit project, intake works just as well when the project is empty of code as when it already has a codebase. Pasted text or a URL (options 1–2) need no existing codebase; a codebase pointer (option 3) targets existing code. Both are equally valid.
-
 If the input is empty, ask the user for the idea (interactive), or stop with a note that there is nothing to intake (automated).

 5. Sequential questioning loop (interactive):

-       - NEVER use a topic label, section heading, or requirement id as the question itself. For example, `Acceptance device/runtime matrix (FR-023)` is INVALID — it is a label, not a question.
-       - After the `?`, the only permitted suffix is an optional parenthesized requirement/question id. Exact format: `**Question:** <interrogative>?` or `**Question:** <interrogative>? (FR-023)`. Never put the id before the `?`, and never use the id (alone or with a topic label) as the whole prompt.
-       - Immediately after the question line, add one plain-language "Why it matters" sentence (the stake for acceptance or shipping) before the recommendation/options.
-       - Use everyday wording; introduce jargon only if defined in the same sentence. Self-check: a reader who does not know Spec Kit must be able to answer from the Question line alone. Terse is fine; cryptic labels are not.
