-The registry is the **single source of truth for Python integration metadata**. Supported agents, their directories, formats, and capabilities are derived from the integration classes for the Python integration layer. However, context-update behavior still requires explicit cases in the shared dispatcher scripts (`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh` and `scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1`), which currently maintain their own supported-agent lists and agent-key→context-file mappings until they are migrated to registry-based dispatch.

-Create two thin wrapper scripts in `src/specify_cli/integrations/<package_dir>/scripts/` that delegate to the shared context-update scripts. Each is ~25 lines of boilerplate.
+Set `context_file` on the integration class. The base integration setup creates or updates the managed Spec Kit section in that file, and uninstall removes the managed section when appropriate.
 
-> **Note on `<package_dir>` vs `<key>`:** `<package_dir>` is the Python-safe directory name for your integration — it matches `<key>` exactly when the key contains no hyphens (e.g., key `"gemini"` → `gemini/`), but uses underscores when it does (e.g., key `"kiro-cli"` → `kiro_cli/`). The `IntegrationBase.key` class attribute always retains the original hyphenated value (e.g., `key = "kiro-cli"`), since that is what the CLI and registry use.

-You must also add the agent to the shared context-update scripts so the shared dispatcher recognises the new key:

-- **`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`** — add a file-path variable and a case in `update_specific_agent()`.
-- **`scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1`** — add a file-path variable, add the new key to the `AgentType` parameter's `[ValidateSet(...)]`, add a switch case in `Update-SpecificAgent`, and add an entry in `Update-AllExistingAgents`.
+Only add custom setup logic when the agent needs non-standard behavior. Most integrations do not need wrapper scripts or separate context-update dispatch code.

+2. **Run manual workflow tests second** — if your change affects slash commands or the developer workflow, follow the [manual testing](#manual-testing) section to choose the right commands, run them in an agent, and capture results for your PR.
 
-### Testing template and command changes locally
+### Automated checks
 
-Running `uv run specify init` pulls released packages, which won’t include your local changes.  
-To test your templates, commands, and other changes locally, follow these steps:
+#### Agent configuration and wiring consistency
 
-1. **Create release packages**
+```bash
+uv run python -m pytest tests/test_agent_config_consistency.py -q
+```
 
-   Run the following command to generate the local packages:
+Run this when you change agent metadata, context update scripts, or integration wiring.
 
-   ```bash
-   ./.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh v1.0.0
-   ```
+### Manual testing
 
-2. **Copy the relevant package to your test project**
+#### Testing setup
 
-   ```bash
-   cp -r .genreleases/sdd-copilot-package-sh/. <path-to-test-project>/
-   ```
+```bash
+# Install the project and test dependencies from your local branch
+cd <spec-kit-repo>
+uv sync --extra test
+source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows (CMD): .venv\Scripts\activate  |  (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+uv pip install -e .
+# Ensure the `specify` binary in this environment points at your working tree so the agent runs the branch you're testing.
 
-3. **Open and test the agent**
+# Initialize a test project using your local changes
+uv run specify init <temp-dir>/speckit-test --integration <agent>
+cd <temp-dir>/speckit-test
 
-   Navigate to your test project folder and open the agent to verify your implementation.
+# Open in your agent
+```
 
-If you only need to validate generated file structure and content before doing manual agent testing, start with the focused automated checks in [`TESTING.md`](./TESTING.md). Keep this section for the cases where you need to inspect the exact packaged output locally.
+#### Manual testing process
+
+Any change that affects a slash command's behavior requires manually testing that command through a coding agent and submitting results with the PR.
+
+1. **Identify affected commands** — use the [prompt below](#determining-which-tests-to-run) to have your agent analyze your changed files and determine which commands need testing.
+2. **Set up a test project** — scaffold from your local branch (see [Testing setup](#testing-setup)).
+3. **Run each affected command** — invoke it in your agent, verify it completes successfully, and confirm it produces the expected output (files created, scripts executed, artifacts populated).
+4. **Run prerequisites first** — commands that depend on earlier commands (e.g., `/speckit.tasks` requires `/speckit.plan` which requires `/speckit.specify`) must be run in order.
+5. **Report results** — paste the [reporting template](#reporting-results) into your PR with pass/fail for each command tested.
+
+#### Reporting results
+
+Paste this into your PR:
+
+~~~markdown
+## Manual test results
+
+**Agent**: [e.g., GitHub Copilot in VS Code]  |  **OS/Shell**: [e.g., macOS/zsh]
+
+| Command tested | Notes |
+|----------------|-------|
+| `/speckit.command` | |
+~~~
+
+#### Determining which tests to run
+
+Copy this prompt into your agent. Include the agent's response (selected tests plus a brief explanation of the mapping) in your PR.
+
+~~~text
+Read CONTRIBUTING.md, then run `git diff --name-only main` to get my changed files.
+For each changed file, determine which slash commands it affects by reading
+the command templates in templates/commands/ to understand what each command
+invokes. Use these mapping rules:
+
+- templates/commands/X.md → the command it defines
+- scripts/bash/Y.sh or scripts/powershell/Y.ps1 → every command that invokes that script (grep templates/commands/ for the script name). Also check transitive dependencies: if the changed script is sourced by other scripts (e.g., common.sh is sourced by create-new-feature.sh, check-prerequisites.sh, setup-plan.sh, update-agent-context.sh), then every command invoking those downstream scripts is also affected
+- templates/Z-template.md → every command that consumes that template during execution
+- src/specify_cli/*.py → CLI commands (`specify init`, `specify check`, `specify extension *`, `specify preset *`); test the affected CLI command and, for init/scaffolding changes, at minimum test /speckit.specify
+- extensions/X/commands/* → the extension command it defines
+- extensions/X/scripts/* → every extension command that invokes that script
+- extensions/X/extension.yml or config-template.yml → every command in that extension. Also check if the manifest defines hooks (look for `hooks:` entries like `before_specify`, `after_implement`, etc.) — if so, the core commands those hooks attach to are also affected
+- presets/*/* → test preset scaffolding via `specify init` with the preset
+- pyproject.toml → packaging/bundling; test `specify init` and verify bundled assets
+
+Include prerequisite tests (e.g., T5 requires T3 requires T1).
+
+Output in this format:
+
+### Test selection reasoning
+
+| Changed file | Affects | Test | Why |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| (path) | (command) | T# | (reason) |
+
+### Required tests
+
+Number each test sequentially (T1, T2, ...). List prerequisite tests first.
+
+- T1: /speckit.command — (reason)
+- T2: /speckit.command — (reason)

-
-See Spec-Driven Development in action across different scenarios with these community-contributed walkthroughs:
-
-- **[Greenfield .NET CLI tool](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-dotnet-cli-demo)** — Builds a Timezone Utility as a .NET single-binary CLI tool from a blank directory, covering the full spec-kit workflow: constitution, specify, plan, tasks, and multi-pass implement using GitHub Copilot agents.
-
-- **[Greenfield Spring Boot + React platform](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-spring-react-demo)** — Builds an LLM performance analytics platform (REST API, graphs, iteration tracking) from scratch using Spring Boot, embedded React, PostgreSQL, and Docker Compose, with a clarify step and a cross-artifact consistency analysis pass included.
-
-- **[Brownfield ASP.NET CMS extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-aspnet-brownfield-demo)** — Extends an existing open-source .NET CMS (CarrotCakeCMS-Core, ~307,000 lines of C#, Razor, SQL, JavaScript, and config files) with two new features — cross-platform Docker Compose infrastructure and a token-authenticated headless REST API — demonstrating how spec-kit fits into existing codebases without prior specs or a constitution.
-
-- **[Brownfield Java runtime extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-java-brownfield-demo)** — Extends an existing open-source Jakarta EE runtime (Piranha, ~420,000 lines of Java, XML, JSP, HTML, and config files across 180 Maven modules) with a password-protected Server Admin Console, demonstrating spec-kit on a large multi-module Java project with no prior specs or constitution.
-
-- **[Brownfield Go / React dashboard demo](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-go-brownfield-demo)** — Demonstrates spec-kit driven entirely from the **terminal using GitHub Copilot CLI**. Extends NASA's open-source Hermes ground support system (Go) with a lightweight React-based web telemetry dashboard, showing that the full constitution → specify → plan → tasks → implement workflow works from the terminal.
-
-- **[Greenfield Spring Boot MVC with a custom preset](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-pirate-speak-preset-demo)** — Builds a Spring Boot MVC application from scratch using a custom pirate-speak preset, demonstrating how presets can reshape the entire spec-kit experience: specifications become "Voyage Manifests," plans become "Battle Plans," and tasks become "Crew Assignments" — all generated in full pirate vernacular without changing any tooling.
-
-- **[Greenfield Spring Boot + React with a custom extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-aide-extension-demo)** — Walks through the **AIDE extension**, a community extension that adds an alternative spec-driven workflow to spec-kit with high-level specs (vision) and low-level specs (work items) organized in a 7-step iterative lifecycle: vision → roadmap → progress tracking → work queue → work items → execution → feedback loops. Uses a family trading platform (Spring Boot 4, React 19, PostgreSQL, Docker Compose) as the scenario to illustrate how the extension mechanism lets you plug in a different style of spec-driven development without changing any core tooling — truly utilizing the "Kit" in Spec Kit.

 ## Available Slash Commands
 
-After running `specify init`, your AI coding agent will have access to these slash commands for structured development. If you pass `--ai <agent> --ai-skills`, Spec Kit installs agent skills instead of slash-command prompt files; `--ai-skills` requires `--ai`.
+After running `specify init`, your AI coding agent will have access to these slash commands for structured development. For integrations that support skills mode, passing `--integration <agent> --integration-options="--skills"` installs agent skills instead of slash-command prompt files.

-# Testing Guide
-
-This document is the detailed testing companion to [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-Use it for three things:
-
-1. running quick automated checks before manual testing,
-2. manually testing affected slash commands through an AI agent, and
-3. capturing the results in a PR-friendly format.
-
-Any change that affects a slash command's behavior requires manually testing that command through an AI agent and submitting results with the PR.
-
-## Recommended order
-
-1. **Sync your environment** — install the project and test dependencies.
-2. **Run focused automated checks** — especially for packaging, scaffolding, agent config, and generated-file changes.
-3. **Run manual agent tests** — for any affected slash commands.
-4. **Paste results into your PR** — include both command-selection reasoning and manual test results.
-
-## Quick automated checks
-
-Run these before manual testing when your change affects packaging, scaffolding, templates, release artifacts, or agent wiring.
-
-### Environment setup
-
-```bash
-cd <spec-kit-repo>
-uv sync --extra test
-source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows (CMD): .venv\Scripts\activate  |  (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
-```
-
-### Generated package structure and content
-
-```bash
-uv run python -m pytest tests/test_core_pack_scaffold.py -q
-```
-
-This validates the generated files that CI-style packaging depends on, including directory layout, file names, frontmatter/TOML validity, placeholder replacement, `.specify/` path rewrites, and parity with `create-release-packages.sh`.
-
-### Agent configuration and release wiring consistency
-
-```bash
-uv run python -m pytest tests/test_agent_config_consistency.py -q
-```
-
-Run this when you change agent metadata, release scripts, context update scripts, or artifact naming.
-
-### Optional single-agent packaging spot check
-
-```bash
-AGENTS=copilot SCRIPTS=sh ./.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh v1.0.0
-```
-
-Inspect `.genreleases/sdd-copilot-package-sh/` and the matching ZIP in `.genreleases/` when you want to review the exact packaged output for one agent/script combination.
-
-## Manual testing process
-
-1. **Identify affected commands** — use the [prompt below](#determining-which-tests-to-run) to have your agent analyze your changed files and determine which commands need testing.
-2. **Set up a test project** — scaffold from your local branch (see [Setup](#setup)).
-3. **Run each affected command** — invoke it in your agent, verify it completes successfully, and confirm it produces the expected output (files created, scripts executed, artifacts populated).
-4. **Run prerequisites first** — commands that depend on earlier commands (e.g., `/speckit.tasks` requires `/speckit.plan` which requires `/speckit.specify`) must be run in order.
-5. **Report results** — paste the [reporting template](#reporting-results) into your PR with pass/fail for each command tested.
-
-## Setup
-
-```bash
-# Install the project and test dependencies from your local branch
-cd <spec-kit-repo>
-uv sync --extra test
-source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows (CMD): .venv\Scripts\activate  |  (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
-uv pip install -e .
-# Ensure the `specify` binary in this environment points at your working tree so the agent runs the branch you're testing.
-
-# Initialize a test project using your local changes
-uv run specify init /tmp/speckit-test --ai <agent> --offline
-cd /tmp/speckit-test
-
-# Open in your agent
-```
-
-If you are testing the packaged output rather than the live source tree, create a local release package first as described in [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-## Reporting results
-
-Paste this into your PR:
-
-~~~markdown
-## Manual test results
-
-**Agent**: [e.g., GitHub Copilot in VS Code]  |  **OS/Shell**: [e.g., macOS/zsh]
-
-| Command tested | Notes |
-|----------------|-------|
-| `/speckit.command` | |

-
-## Determining which tests to run
-
-Copy this prompt into your agent. Include the agent's response (selected tests plus a brief explanation of the mapping) in your PR.
-
-~~~text
-Read TESTING.md, then run `git diff --name-only main` to get my changed files.
-For each changed file, determine which slash commands it affects by reading
-the command templates in templates/commands/ to understand what each command
-invokes. Use these mapping rules:
-
-- templates/commands/X.md → the command it defines
-- scripts/bash/Y.sh or scripts/powershell/Y.ps1 → every command that invokes that script (grep templates/commands/ for the script name). Also check transitive dependencies: if the changed script is sourced by other scripts (e.g., common.sh is sourced by create-new-feature.sh, check-prerequisites.sh, setup-plan.sh, update-agent-context.sh), then every command invoking those downstream scripts is also affected
-- templates/Z-template.md → every command that consumes that template during execution
-- src/specify_cli/*.py → CLI commands (`specify init`, `specify check`, `specify extension *`, `specify preset *`); test the affected CLI command and, for init/scaffolding changes, at minimum test /speckit.specify
-- extensions/X/commands/* → the extension command it defines
-- extensions/X/scripts/* → every extension command that invokes that script
-- extensions/X/extension.yml or config-template.yml → every command in that extension. Also check if the manifest defines hooks (look for `hooks:` entries like `before_specify`, `after_implement`, etc.) — if so, the core commands those hooks attach to are also affected
-- presets/*/* → test preset scaffolding via `specify init` with the preset
-- pyproject.toml → packaging/bundling; test `specify init` and verify bundled assets

-Include prerequisite tests (e.g., T5 requires T3 requires T1).

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Community walkthroughs are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. They are **not reviewed, nor endorsed, nor supported by GitHub**. Review their content before following along and use at your own discretion.
+
+See Spec-Driven Development in action across different scenarios with these community-contributed walkthroughs:
+
+- **[Greenfield .NET CLI tool](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-dotnet-cli-demo)** — Builds a Timezone Utility as a .NET single-binary CLI tool from a blank directory, covering the full spec-kit workflow: constitution, specify, plan, tasks, and multi-pass implement using GitHub Copilot agents.
+
+- **[Greenfield Spring Boot + React platform](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-spring-react-demo)** — Builds an LLM performance analytics platform (REST API, graphs, iteration tracking) from scratch using Spring Boot, embedded React, PostgreSQL, and Docker Compose, with a clarify step and a cross-artifact consistency analysis pass included.
+
+- **[Brownfield ASP.NET CMS extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-aspnet-brownfield-demo)** — Extends an existing open-source .NET CMS (CarrotCakeCMS-Core, ~307,000 lines of C#, Razor, SQL, JavaScript, and config files) with two new features — cross-platform Docker Compose infrastructure and a token-authenticated headless REST API — demonstrating how spec-kit fits into existing codebases without prior specs or a constitution.
+
+- **[Brownfield Java runtime extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-java-brownfield-demo)** — Extends an existing open-source Jakarta EE runtime (Piranha, ~420,000 lines of Java, XML, JSP, HTML, and config files across 180 Maven modules) with a password-protected Server Admin Console, demonstrating spec-kit on a large multi-module Java project with no prior specs or constitution.
+
+- **[Brownfield Go / React dashboard demo](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-go-brownfield-demo)** — Demonstrates spec-kit driven entirely from the **terminal using GitHub Copilot CLI**. Extends NASA's open-source Hermes ground support system (Go) with a lightweight React-based web telemetry dashboard, showing that the full constitution → specify → plan → tasks → implement workflow works from the terminal.
+
+- **[Greenfield Spring Boot MVC with a custom preset](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-pirate-speak-preset-demo)** — Builds a Spring Boot MVC application from scratch using a custom pirate-speak preset, demonstrating how presets can reshape the entire spec-kit experience: specifications become "Voyage Manifests," plans become "Battle Plans," and tasks become "Crew Assignments" — all generated in full pirate vernacular without changing any tooling.
+
+- **[Greenfield Spring Boot + React with a custom extension](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-aide-extension-demo)** — Walks through the **AIDE extension**, a community extension that adds an alternative spec-driven workflow to spec-kit with high-level specs (vision) and low-level specs (work items) organized in a 7-step iterative lifecycle: vision → roadmap → progress tracking → work queue → work items → execution → feedback loops. Uses a family trading platform (Spring Boot 4, React 19, PostgreSQL, Docker Compose) as the scenario to illustrate how the extension mechanism lets you plug in a different style of spec-driven development without changing any core tooling — truly utilizing the "Kit" in Spec Kit.

+# Core Commands
+
+The core `specify` commands handle project initialization, system checks, and version information.
+
+## Initialize a Project
+
+```bash
+specify init [<project_name>]
+```
+
+| Option                   | Description                                                              |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--integration <key>`    | AI coding agent integration to use (e.g. `copilot`, `claude`, `gemini`). See the [Integrations reference](integrations.md) for all available keys |
+| `--integration-options`  | Options for the integration (e.g. `--integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds"`) |
+| `--script sh\|ps`        | Script type: `sh` (bash/zsh) or `ps` (PowerShell)                       |
+| `--here`                 | Initialize in the current directory instead of creating a new one        |
+| `--force`                | Force merge/overwrite when initializing in an existing directory         |
+| `--no-git`               | Skip git repository initialization                                       |
+| `--ignore-agent-tools`   | Skip checks for AI coding agent CLI tools                                |
+| `--preset <id>`          | Install a preset during initialization                                   |
+| `--branch-numbering`     | Branch numbering strategy: `sequential` (default) or `timestamp`         |
+
+Creates a new Spec Kit project with the necessary directory structure, templates, scripts, and AI coding agent integration files.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The git extension is currently enabled by default during `specify init`.
+> Starting in `v0.10.0`, it will require explicit opt-in. To add it after init, run `specify extension add git`.
+
+Use `<project_name>` to create a new directory, or `--here` (or `.`) to initialize in the current directory. If the directory already has files, use `--force` to merge without confirmation.
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Create a new project with an integration
+specify init my-project --integration copilot
+
+# Initialize in the current directory
+specify init --here --integration copilot
+
+# Force merge into a non-empty directory
+specify init --here --force --integration copilot
+
+# Use PowerShell scripts (Windows/cross-platform)
+specify init my-project --integration copilot --script ps
+
+# Skip git initialization
+specify init my-project --integration copilot --no-git
+
+# Install a preset during initialization
+specify init my-project --integration copilot --preset compliance
+
+# Use timestamp-based branch numbering (useful for distributed teams)
+specify init my-project --integration copilot --branch-numbering timestamp
+```

+| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `SPECIFY_FEATURE` | Override feature detection for non-Git repositories. Set to the feature directory name (e.g., `001-photo-albums`) to work on a specific feature when not using Git branches. Must be set in the context of the agent prior to using `/speckit.plan` or follow-up commands. |
+
+## Check Installed Tools
+
+```bash
+specify check
+```
+
+Checks that required tools are available on your system: `git` and any CLI-based AI coding agents. IDE-based agents are skipped since they don't require a CLI tool.
+
+## Version Information
+
+```bash
+specify version
+```
+
+Displays the Spec Kit CLI version, Python version, platform, and architecture.

+# Extensions
+
+Extensions add new capabilities to Spec Kit — domain-specific commands, external tool integrations, quality gates, and more. They introduce new commands and templates that go beyond the built-in Spec-Driven Development workflow.
+
+## Search Available Extensions
+
+```bash
+specify extension search [query]
+```
+
+| Option       | Description                          |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| `--tag`      | Filter by tag                        |
+| `--author`   | Filter by author                     |
+| `--verified` | Show only verified extensions        |
+
+Searches all active catalogs for extensions matching the query. Without a query, lists all available extensions.
+
+## Install an Extension
+
+```bash
+specify extension add <name>
+```
+
+| Option          | Description                                              |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--dev`         | Install from a local directory (for development)         |
+| `--from <url>`  | Install from a custom URL instead of the catalog         |
+| `--priority <N>`| Resolution priority (default: 10; lower = higher precedence) |
+
+Installs an extension from the catalog, a URL, or a local directory. Extension commands are automatically registered with the currently installed AI coding agent integration.
+
+> **Note:** All extension commands require a project already initialized with `specify init`.
+
+## Remove an Extension
+
+```bash
+specify extension remove <name>

+| `--force`       | Skip confirmation prompt                       |
+
+Removes an installed extension. Configuration files are backed up by default; use `--keep-config` to leave them in place or `--force` to skip the confirmation.
+
+## List Installed Extensions
+
+```bash
+specify extension list
+```
+
+| Option        | Description                                        |
+| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--available` | Show available (uninstalled) extensions            |
+| `--all`       | Show both installed and available extensions       |
+
+Lists installed extensions with their status, version, and command counts.
+
+## Extension Info
+
+```bash
+specify extension info <name>
+```
+
+Shows detailed information about an installed or available extension, including its description, version, commands, and configuration.
+
+## Update Extensions
+
+```bash
+specify extension update [<name>]
+```
+
+Updates a specific extension, or all installed extensions if no name is given.
+
+## Enable / Disable an Extension
+
+```bash
+specify extension enable <name>
+specify extension disable <name>
+```
+
+Disable an extension without removing it. Disabled extensions are not loaded and their commands are not available. Re-enable with `enable`.
+
+## Set Extension Priority
+
+```bash
+specify extension set-priority <name> <priority>
+```
+
+Changes the resolution priority of an extension. When multiple extensions provide a command with the same name, the extension with the lowest priority number takes precedence.
+
+## Catalog Management
+
+Extension catalogs control where `search` and `add` look for extensions. Catalogs are checked in priority order (lower number = higher precedence).
+
+### List Catalogs
+
+```bash
+specify extension catalog list
+```
+
+Shows all active catalogs in the stack with their priorities and install permissions.
+
+### Add a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify extension catalog add <url>
+```
+
+| Option                               | Description                                        |
+| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--name <name>`                      | Required. Unique name for the catalog              |
+| `--priority <N>`                     | Priority (default: 10; lower = higher precedence)  |
+| `--install-allowed / --no-install-allowed` | Whether extensions can be installed from this catalog |
+| `--description <text>`               | Optional description                               |
+
+Adds a catalog to the project's `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`.
+
+### Remove a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify extension catalog remove <name>
+```
+
+Removes a catalog from the project configuration.
+
+### Catalog Resolution Order
+
+Catalogs are resolved in this order (first match wins):
+
+1. **Environment variable** — `SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL` overrides all catalogs
+2. **Project config** — `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`
+3. **User config** — `~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`
+4. **Built-in defaults** — official catalog + community catalog
+
+Example `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+catalogs:
+  - name: "my-org-catalog"
+    url: "https://example.com/catalog.json"
+    priority: 5
+    install_allowed: true
+    description: "Our approved extensions"
+```
+
+## Extension Configuration
+
+Most extensions include configuration files in their install directory:
+
+```text
+.specify/extensions/<ext>/
+├── <ext>-config.yml           # Project config (version controlled)
+├── <ext>-config.local.yml     # Local overrides (gitignored)
+└── <ext>-config.template.yml  # Template reference
+```
+
+Configuration is merged in this order (highest priority last):
+
+1. **Extension defaults** (from `extension.yml`)
+2. **Project config** (`<ext>-config.yml`)
+3. **Local overrides** (`<ext>-config.local.yml`)

+
+## FAQ
+
+### Why can't I find an extension with `search`?
+
+Check the spelling of the extension name. The extension may not be published yet, or it may be in a catalog you haven't added. Use `specify extension catalog list` to see which catalogs are active.
+
+### Why doesn't the extension command appear in my AI coding agent?
+
+Verify the extension is installed and enabled with `specify extension list`. If it shows as installed, restart your AI coding agent — it may need to reload for it to take effect.
+
+### How do I set up extension configuration?
+
+Copy the config template that ships with the extension:
+
+```bash
+cp .specify/extensions/<ext>/<ext>-config.template.yml \
+   .specify/extensions/<ext>/<ext>-config.yml
+```
+
+See [Extension Configuration](#extension-configuration) for details on config layers and overrides.
+
+### How do I resolve an incompatible version error?
+
+Update Spec Kit to the version required by the extension.
+
+### Who maintains extensions?
+
+Most extensions are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. The Spec Kit maintainers do not review, audit, endorse, or support extension code. Review an extension's source code before installing and use at your own discretion. For issues with a specific extension, contact its author or file an issue on the extension's repository.

+# Supported AI Coding Agent Integrations
+
+The Specify CLI supports a wide range of AI coding agents. When you run `specify init`, the CLI sets up the appropriate command files, context rules, and directory structures for your chosen AI coding agent — so you can start using Spec-Driven Development immediately, regardless of which tool you prefer.

+
+## List Available Integrations
+
+```bash
+specify integration list
+```
+
+Shows all available integrations, which one is currently installed, and whether each requires a CLI tool or is IDE-based.
+When multiple integrations are installed, the list marks the default integration separately from the other installed integrations.
+The list also shows whether each built-in integration is declared multi-install safe.
+
+## Install an Integration
+
+```bash
+specify integration install <key>
+```
+
+| Option                   | Description                                                              |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--script sh\|ps`        | Script type: `sh` (bash/zsh) or `ps` (PowerShell)                        |
+| `--force`                | Opt in to installing alongside integrations that are not declared multi-install safe |
+| `--integration-options`  | Integration-specific options (e.g. `--integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds"`) |
+
+Installs the specified integration into the current project. If another integration is already installed, the command only proceeds automatically when all involved integrations are declared multi-install safe. Otherwise, use `switch` to replace the default integration or pass `--force` to explicitly opt in to multi-install. If the installation fails partway through, it automatically rolls back to a clean state.
+
+Installing an additional integration does not change the default integration. Use `specify integration use <key>` to change the default.
+
+> **Note:** All integration management commands require a project already initialized with `specify init`. To start a new project with a specific agent, use `specify init <project> --integration <key>` instead.
+
+## Uninstall an Integration
+
+```bash
+specify integration uninstall [<key>]
+```
+
+| Option    | Description                                         |
+| --------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--force` | Remove files even if they have been modified         |
+
+Uninstalls the current integration (or the specified one). Spec Kit tracks every file created during install along with a SHA-256 hash of the original content:
+
+- **Unmodified files** are removed automatically.
+- **Modified files** (where you've made manual edits) are preserved so your customizations are not lost.
+- Use `--force` to remove all integration files regardless of modifications.
+
+## Switch to a Different Integration
+
+```bash
+specify integration switch <key>
+```
+
+| Option                   | Description                                                              |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--script sh\|ps`        | Script type: `sh` (bash/zsh) or `ps` (PowerShell)                        |
+| `--force`                | Force removal of modified files during uninstall; when the target is already installed, overwrite managed shared templates while changing the default |
+| `--integration-options`  | Options for the target integration when it is not already installed      |
+
+If the target integration is not already installed, equivalent to running `uninstall` followed by `install` in a single step. In this mode, `--force` controls whether modified files from the removed integration are deleted. If the target integration is already installed, `switch` only changes the default integration, like `use`; in this mode, `--force` controls whether managed shared templates are overwritten while the default changes. `--integration-options` is rejected for already-installed targets because changing integration options requires reinstalling managed files; run `upgrade <key> --integration-options ...` first, then `use <key>`.
+
+## Use an Installed Integration
+
+```bash
+specify integration use <key>
+```
+
+| Option    | Description                                         |
+| --------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--force` | Overwrite managed shared templates while changing the default |
+
+Sets the default integration without uninstalling any other installed integrations. This also refreshes managed shared templates so command references match the new default integration's invocation style. Modified or untracked shared templates are preserved unless `--force` is used.
+
+## Upgrade an Integration
+
+```bash
+specify integration upgrade [<key>]
+```
+
+| Option                   | Description                                                              |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `--force`                | Overwrite files even if they have been modified                          |
+| `--script sh\|ps`        | Script type: `sh` (bash/zsh) or `ps` (PowerShell)                        |
+| `--integration-options`  | Options for the integration                                              |
+
+Reinstalls an installed integration with updated templates and commands (e.g., after upgrading Spec Kit). Defaults to the default integration; if a key is provided, it must be one of the installed integrations. Detects locally modified files and blocks the upgrade unless `--force` is used. Stale files from the previous install that are no longer needed are removed automatically. Shared templates stay aligned with the default integration even when upgrading a non-default integration.
+
+## Integration-Specific Options
+
+Some integrations accept additional options via `--integration-options`:

+| Integration | Option              | Description                                                    |
+| ----------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `generic`   | `--commands-dir`    | Required. Directory for command files                          |
+| `kimi`      | `--migrate-legacy`  | Migrate legacy dotted skill directories to hyphenated format   |
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+specify integration install generic --integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds"
+```
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I install multiple integrations in the same project?
+
+Yes, but it is intended for team portability rather than the default workflow. Multiple integrations are allowed automatically only when the installed integration and the new integration are declared multi-install safe by Spec Kit. For other combinations, pass `--force` to acknowledge that multiple agents may see unrelated agent-specific instructions or commands.
+
+Spec Kit tracks one default integration in `.specify/integration.json` with `default_integration`, all installed integrations with `installed_integrations`, per-integration runtime settings with `integration_settings`, and a dedicated `integration_state_schema` for future state migrations. The legacy `integration` field remains as an alias for the default integration.
+
+### Which integrations are multi-install safe?
+
+An integration is multi-install safe when it uses isolated agent directories, a dedicated context file that does not collide with another safe integration, stable command invocation settings, and a separate install manifest. Shared Spec Kit templates remain aligned to the single default integration.
+
+The currently declared multi-install safe integrations are:
+
+| Key | Isolation |
+| --- | --------- |
+| `auggie` | `.augment/commands`, `.augment/rules/specify-rules.md` |
+| `claude` | `.claude/skills`, `CLAUDE.md` |
+| `codebuddy` | `.codebuddy/commands`, `CODEBUDDY.md` |
+| `codex` | `.agents/skills`, `AGENTS.md` |
+| `cursor-agent` | `.cursor/skills`, `.cursor/rules/specify-rules.mdc` |
+| `gemini` | `.gemini/commands`, `GEMINI.md` |
+| `iflow` | `.iflow/commands`, `IFLOW.md` |
+| `junie` | `.junie/commands`, `.junie/AGENTS.md` |
+| `kilocode` | `.kilocode/workflows`, `.kilocode/rules/specify-rules.md` |
+| `kimi` | `.kimi/skills`, `KIMI.md` |
+| `qodercli` | `.qoder/commands`, `QODER.md` |
+| `qwen` | `.qwen/commands`, `QWEN.md` |
+| `roo` | `.roo/commands`, `.roo/rules/specify-rules.md` |
+| `shai` | `.shai/commands`, `SHAI.md` |
+| `tabnine` | `.tabnine/agent/commands`, `TABNINE.md` |
+| `trae` | `.trae/skills`, `.trae/rules/project_rules.md` |
+| `windsurf` | `.windsurf/workflows`, `.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md` |
+
+Integrations that share a context file or command directory with another integration, require dynamic install paths such as `--commands-dir`, or merge shared tool settings are not declared safe by default. They can still be installed alongside another integration with `--force`.
+
+### What happens to my changes when I uninstall or switch?
+
+Files you've modified are preserved automatically. Only unmodified files (matching their original SHA-256 hash) are removed. Use `--force` to override this.
+
+### How do I know which key to use?
+
+Run `specify integration list` to see all available integrations with their keys, or check the [Supported AI Coding Agents](#supported-ai-coding-agents) table above.
+
+### Do I need the AI coding agent installed to use an integration?
+
+CLI-based integrations (like Claude Code, Gemini CLI) require the tool to be installed. IDE-based integrations (like Windsurf, Cursor) work through the IDE itself. Some agents like GitHub Copilot support both IDE and CLI usage. `specify integration list` shows which type each integration is.
+
+### When should I use `upgrade` vs `switch`?
+
+Use `upgrade` when you've upgraded Spec Kit and want to refresh an installed integration's managed files. Use `switch` when you want to replace the current default with another integration; if the target is already installed, `switch` behaves like `use`.

+# CLI Reference
+
+The Specify CLI (`specify`) manages the full lifecycle of Spec-Driven Development — from project initialization to workflow automation.
+
+## Core Commands
+
+The foundational commands for creating and managing Spec Kit projects. Initialize a new project with the necessary directory structure, templates, and scripts. Verify that your system has the required tools installed. Check version and system information.
+
+[Core Commands reference →](core.md)
+
+## Integrations
+
+Integrations connect Spec Kit to your AI coding agent. Each integration sets up the appropriate command files, context rules, and directory structures for a specific agent. Only one integration is active per project at a time, and you can switch between them at any point.
+
+[Integrations reference →](integrations.md)
+
+## Extensions
+
+Extensions add new capabilities to Spec Kit — domain-specific commands, external tool integrations, quality gates, and more. They are discovered through catalogs and can be installed, updated, enabled, disabled, or removed independently. Multiple extensions can coexist in a single project.
+
+[Extensions reference →](extensions.md)
+
+## Presets
+
+Presets customize how Spec Kit works — overriding command files, template files, and script files without changing any tooling. They let you enforce organizational standards, adapt the workflow to your methodology, or localize the entire experience. Multiple presets can be stacked with priority ordering to layer customizations.
+
+[Presets reference →](presets.md)
+
+## Workflows
+
+Workflows automate multi-step Spec-Driven Development processes into repeatable sequences. They chain commands, prompts, shell steps, and human checkpoints together, with support for conditional logic, loops, fan-out/fan-in, and the ability to pause and resume from the exact point of interruption.

+# Presets
+
+Presets customize how Spec Kit works — overriding templates, commands, and terminology without changing any tooling. They let you enforce organizational standards, adapt the workflow to your methodology, or localize the entire experience. Multiple presets can be stacked with priority ordering.
+
+## Search Available Presets
+
+```bash
+specify preset search [query]
+```
+
+| Option     | Description          |
+| ---------- | -------------------- |
+| `--tag`    | Filter by tag        |
+| `--author` | Filter by author     |
+
+Searches all active catalogs for presets matching the query. Without a query, lists all available presets.
+
+## Install a Preset
+
+```bash
+specify preset add [<preset_id>]
+```
+
+| Option           | Description                                              |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--dev <path>`   | Install from a local directory (for development)         |
+| `--from <url>`   | Install from a custom URL instead of the catalog         |
+| `--priority <N>` | Resolution priority (default: 10; lower = higher precedence) |
+
+Installs a preset from the catalog, a URL, or a local directory. Preset commands are automatically registered with the currently installed AI coding agent integration.
+
+> **Note:** All preset commands require a project already initialized with `specify init`.
+
+## Remove a Preset
+
+```bash
+specify preset remove <preset_id>
+```
+
+Removes an installed preset and cleans up its registered commands.
+
+## List Installed Presets
+
+```bash
+specify preset list
+```
+
+Lists installed presets with their versions, descriptions, template counts, and current status.
+
+## Preset Info
+
+```bash
+specify preset info <preset_id>
+```
+
+Shows detailed information about an installed or available preset, including its templates, metadata, and tags.
+
+## Resolve a File
+
+```bash
+specify preset resolve <name>
+```
+
+Shows which file will be used for a given name by tracing the full resolution stack. Useful for debugging when multiple presets provide the same file.
+
+## Enable / Disable a Preset
+
+```bash
+specify preset enable <preset_id>
+specify preset disable <preset_id>
+```
+
+Disable a preset without removing it. Disabled presets are skipped during file resolution but their commands remain registered. Re-enable with `enable`.
+
+## Set Preset Priority
+
+```bash
+specify preset set-priority <preset_id> <priority>
+```
+
+Changes the resolution priority of an installed preset. Lower numbers take precedence. When multiple presets provide the same file, the one with the lowest priority number wins.
+
+## Catalog Management
+
+Preset catalogs control where `search` and `add` look for presets. Catalogs are checked in priority order (lower number = higher precedence).
+
+### List Catalogs
+
+```bash
+specify preset catalog list
+```
+
+Shows all active catalogs with their priorities and install permissions.
+
+### Add a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify preset catalog add <url>
+```
+
+| Option                                       | Description                                        |
+| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--name <name>`                              | Required. Unique name for the catalog              |
+| `--priority <N>`                             | Priority (default: 10; lower = higher precedence)  |
+| `--install-allowed / --no-install-allowed`   | Whether presets can be installed from this catalog (default: discovery only) |
+| `--description <text>`                       | Optional description                               |
+
+Adds a catalog to the project's `.specify/preset-catalogs.yml`.
+
+### Remove a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify preset catalog remove <name>
+```
+
+Removes a catalog from the project configuration.
+
+### Catalog Resolution Order
+
+Catalogs are resolved in this order (first match wins):
+
+1. **Environment variable** — `SPECKIT_PRESET_CATALOG_URL` overrides all catalogs
+2. **Project config** — `.specify/preset-catalogs.yml`
+3. **User config** — `~/.specify/preset-catalogs.yml`
+4. **Built-in defaults** — official catalog + community catalog
+
+Example `.specify/preset-catalogs.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+catalogs:
+  - name: "my-org-presets"
+    url: "https://example.com/preset-catalog.json"
+    priority: 5
+    install_allowed: true
+    description: "Our approved presets"
+```
+
+## 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.
+
+> **Note:** Additional composition strategies (`append`, `prepend`, `wrap`) are planned for a future release.
+
+The resolution stack, from highest to lowest precedence:
+
+1. **Project-local overrides** — `.specify/templates/overrides/`
+2. **Installed presets** — sorted by priority (lower = checked first)
+3. **Installed extensions** — sorted by priority
+4. **Spec Kit core** — `.specify/templates/`
+
+Commands are registered at install time (not resolved through the stack at runtime).
+
+### Resolution Stack
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph stack [" "]
+        direction TB
+        A["⬆ Highest precedence<br/><br/>1. Project-local overrides<br/>.specify/templates/overrides/"]
+        B["2. Presets — by priority<br/>.specify/presets/‹id›/"]
+        C["3. Extensions — by priority<br/>.specify/extensions/‹id›/"]
+        D["4. Spec Kit core<br/>.specify/templates/<br/><br/>⬇ Lowest precedence"]
+    end
+
+    A --> B --> C --> D
+
+    style A fill:#4a9,color:#fff
+    style B fill:#49a,color:#fff
+    style C fill:#a94,color:#fff
+    style D fill:#999,color:#fff
+```
+
+Within each layer, files are organized by type:
+
+| Type      | Subdirectory   | Override path                              |
+| --------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| Templates | `templates/`   | `.specify/templates/overrides/`            |
+| Commands  | `commands/`    | `.specify/templates/overrides/`            |
+| Scripts   | `scripts/`     | `.specify/templates/overrides/scripts/`    |
+
+### Resolution in Action
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    A["File requested:<br/>plan-template.md"] --> B{"Project-local override?"}
+    B -- Found --> Z["✓ Use this file"]
+    B -- Not found --> C{"Preset: compliance<br/>(priority 5)"}
+    C -- Found --> Z
+    C -- Not found --> D{"Preset: team-workflow<br/>(priority 10)"}
+    D -- Found --> Z
+    D -- Not found --> E{"Extension files?"}
+    E -- Found --> Z
+    E -- Not found --> F["Spec Kit core"]
+    F --> Z
+```
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+specify preset add compliance --priority 5
+specify preset add team-workflow --priority 10
+```
+
+For any file that both provide, `compliance` wins (priority 5 < 10). For files only one provides, that one is used. For files neither provides, the core default is used.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Can I use multiple presets at the same time?
+
+Yes. Presets stack by priority — each file is resolved independently from the highest-priority source that provides it. Use `specify preset set-priority` to control the order.
+
+### How do I see which file is actually being used?
+
+Run `specify preset resolve <name>` to trace the resolution stack and see which file wins.
+
+### What's the difference between disabling and removing a preset?
+
+**Disabling** (`specify preset disable`) keeps the preset installed but excludes its files from the resolution stack. Commands the preset registered remain available in your AI coding agent. This is useful for temporarily testing behavior without a preset, or comparing output with and without it. Re-enable anytime with `specify preset enable`.
+
+**Removing** (`specify preset remove`) fully uninstalls the preset — deletes its files, unregisters its commands from your AI coding agent, and removes it from the registry.
+
+### Who maintains presets?
+
+Most presets are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. The Spec Kit maintainers do not review, audit, endorse, or support preset code. Review a preset's source code before installing and use at your own discretion. For issues with a specific preset, contact its author or file an issue on the preset's repository.

+# Workflows
+
+Workflows automate multi-step Spec-Driven Development processes — chaining commands, prompts, shell steps, and human checkpoints into repeatable sequences. They support conditional logic, loops, fan-out/fan-in, and can be paused and resumed from the exact point of interruption.
+
+## Run a Workflow
+
+```bash
+specify workflow run <source>
+```
+
+| Option              | Description                                              |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `-i` / `--input`    | Pass input values as `key=value` (repeatable)            |
+
+Runs a workflow from a catalog ID, URL, or local file path. Inputs declared by the workflow can be provided via `--input` or will be prompted interactively.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+specify workflow run speckit -i spec="Build a kanban board with drag-and-drop task management" -i scope=full
+```
+
+> **Note:** All workflow commands require a project already initialized with `specify init`.
+
+## Resume a Workflow
+
+```bash
+specify workflow resume <run_id>
+```
+
+Resumes a paused or failed workflow run from the exact step where it stopped. Useful after responding to a gate step or fixing an issue that caused a failure.
+
+## Workflow Status
+
+```bash
+specify workflow status [<run_id>]
+```
+
+Shows the status of a specific run, or lists all runs if no ID is given. Run states: `created`, `running`, `completed`, `paused`, `failed`, `aborted`.
+
+## List Installed Workflows
+
+```bash
+specify workflow list
+```
+
+Lists workflows installed in the current project.
+
+## Install a Workflow
+
+```bash
+specify workflow add <source>
+```
+
+Installs a workflow from the catalog, a URL (HTTPS required), or a local file path.
+
+## Remove a Workflow
+
+```bash
+specify workflow remove <workflow_id>
+```
+
+Removes an installed workflow from the project.
+
+## Search Available Workflows
+
+```bash
+specify workflow search [query]
+```
+
+| Option  | Description     |
+| ------- | --------------- |
+| `--tag` | Filter by tag   |
+
+Searches all active catalogs for workflows matching the query.
+
+## Workflow Info
+
+```bash
+specify workflow info <workflow_id>
+```
+
+Shows detailed information about a workflow, including its steps, inputs, and requirements.
+
+## Catalog Management
+
+Workflow catalogs control where `search` and `add` look for workflows. Catalogs are checked in priority order.
+
+### List Catalogs
+
+```bash
+specify workflow catalog list
+```
+
+Shows all active catalog sources.
+
+### Add a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify workflow catalog add <url>
+```
+
+| Option          | Description                      |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `--name <name>` | Optional name for the catalog    |
+
+Adds a custom catalog URL to the project's `.specify/workflow-catalogs.yml`.
+
+### Remove a Catalog
+
+```bash
+specify workflow catalog remove <index>
+```
+
+Removes a catalog by its index in the catalog list.
+
+### Catalog Resolution Order
+
+Catalogs are resolved in this order (first match wins):
+
+1. **Environment variable** — `SPECKIT_WORKFLOW_CATALOG_URL` overrides all catalogs
+2. **Project config** — `.specify/workflow-catalogs.yml`
+3. **User config** — `~/.specify/workflow-catalogs.yml`
+4. **Built-in defaults** — official catalog + community catalog
+
+## Workflow Definition
+
+Workflows are defined in YAML files. Here is the built-in **Full SDD Cycle** workflow that ships with Spec Kit:
+
+```yaml
+schema_version: "1.0"
+workflow:
+  id: "speckit"
+  name: "Full SDD Cycle"
+  version: "1.0.0"
+  author: "GitHub"
+  description: "Runs specify → plan → tasks → implement with review gates"
+
+requires:
+  speckit_version: ">=0.7.2"
+  integrations:
+    any: ["copilot", "claude", "gemini"]
+
+inputs:
+  spec:
+    type: string
+    required: true
+    prompt: "Describe what you want to build"
+  integration:
+    type: string
+    default: "copilot"
+    prompt: "Integration to use (e.g. claude, copilot, gemini)"
+  scope:
+    type: string
+    default: "full"
+    enum: ["full", "backend-only", "frontend-only"]
+
+steps:
+  - id: specify

+    command: speckit.implement
+    integration: "{{ inputs.integration }}"
+    input:
+      args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"

+    style F fill:#49a,color:#fff
+    style X1 fill:#999,color:#fff
+    style X2 fill:#999,color:#fff
+```
+
+Run it with:
+
+```bash
+specify workflow run speckit -i spec="Build a kanban board with drag-and-drop task management"
+```
+
+## Step Types
+
+| Type         | Purpose                                          |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `command`    | Invoke a Spec Kit command (e.g., `speckit.plan`) |
+| `prompt`     | Send an arbitrary prompt to the AI coding agent  |
+| `shell`      | Execute a shell command and capture output       |
+| `gate`       | Pause for human approval before continuing       |
+| `if`         | Conditional branching (then/else)                |
+| `switch`     | Multi-branch dispatch on an expression           |
+| `while`      | Loop while a condition is true                   |
+| `do-while`   | Execute at least once, then loop on condition    |
+| `fan-out`    | Dispatch a step for each item in a list          |
+| `fan-in`     | Aggregate results from a fan-out step            |
+
+## Expressions
+
+Steps can reference inputs and previous step outputs using `{{ expression }}` syntax:
+
+| Namespace                      | Description                          |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ |
+| `inputs.spec`                  | Workflow input values                |
+| `steps.specify.output.file`    | Output from a previous step          |
+| `item`                         | Current item in a fan-out iteration  |
+
+Available filters: `default`, `join`, `contains`, `map`.
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+condition: "{{ steps.test.output.exit_code == 0 }}"
+args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"
+message: "{{ status | default('pending') }}"
+```
+
+## Input Types
+
+| Type      | Coercion                                          |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `string`  | Pass-through                                      |
+| `number`  | `"42"` → `42`, `"3.14"` → `3.14`                 |
+| `boolean` | `"true"` / `"1"` / `"yes"` → `True`              |
+
+## State and Resume
+
+Each workflow run persists its state at `.specify/workflows/runs/<run_id>/`:
+
+- `state.json` — current run state and step progress
+- `inputs.json` — resolved input values
+- `log.jsonl` — step-by-step execution log
+
+This enables `specify workflow resume` to continue from the exact step where a run was paused (e.g., at a gate) or failed.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### What happens when a workflow hits a gate step?
+
+The workflow pauses and waits for human input. Run `specify workflow resume <run_id>` after reviewing to continue.
+
+### Can I run the same workflow multiple times?
+
+Yes. Each run gets a unique ID and its own state directory. Use `specify workflow status` to see all runs.
+
+### Who maintains workflows?
+
+Most workflows are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. The Spec Kit maintainers do not review, audit, endorse, or support workflow code. Review a workflow's source before installing and use at your own discretion.

+# Contributing to the Integration Catalog
+
+This guide covers adding integrations to both the **built-in** and **community** catalogs.
+
+## Adding a Built-In Integration
+
+Built-in integrations are maintained by the Spec Kit core team and ship with the CLI.
+
+### Checklist
+
+1. **Create the integration subpackage** under `src/specify_cli/integrations/<package_dir>/`
+   — `<package_dir>` matches the integration key when it contains no hyphens (e.g., `gemini`), or replaces hyphens with underscores when it does (e.g., key `cursor-agent` → directory `cursor_agent/`, key `kiro-cli` → directory `kiro_cli/`). Python package names cannot use hyphens.
+2. **Implement the integration class** extending `MarkdownIntegration`, `TomlIntegration`, or `SkillsIntegration`
+3. **Register the integration** in `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py`
+4. **Add tests** under `tests/integrations/test_integration_<package_dir>.py`
+5. **Add a catalog entry** in `integrations/catalog.json`
+6. **Update documentation** in `AGENTS.md` and `README.md`
+
+### Catalog Entry Format
+
+Add your integration under the top-level `integrations` key in `integrations/catalog.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "integrations": {
+    "my-agent": {
+      "id": "my-agent",
+      "name": "My Agent",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "description": "Integration for My Agent",
+      "author": "spec-kit-core",
+      "repository": "https://github.com/github/spec-kit",
+      "tags": ["cli"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Adding a Community Integration
+
+Community integrations are contributed by external developers and listed in `integrations/catalog.community.json` for discovery.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **Working integration** — tested with `specify integration install`
+2. **Public repository** — hosted on GitHub or similar
+3. **`integration.yml` descriptor** — valid descriptor file (see below)
+4. **Documentation** — README with usage instructions
+5. **License** — open source license file
+
+### `integration.yml` Descriptor
+
+Every community integration must include an `integration.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+schema_version: "1.0"
+integration:
+  id: "my-agent"
+  name: "My Agent"
+  version: "1.0.0"
+  description: "Integration for My Agent"
+  author: "your-name"
+  repository: "https://github.com/your-name/speckit-my-agent"
+  license: "MIT"
+requires:
+  speckit_version: ">=0.6.0"
+  tools:
+    - name: "my-agent"
+      version: ">=1.0.0"
+      required: true
+provides:
+  commands:
+    - name: "speckit.specify"
+      file: "templates/speckit.specify.md"
+  scripts:
+    - update-context.sh
+```
+
+### Descriptor Validation Rules
+
+| Field | Rule |
+|-------|------|
+| `schema_version` | Must be `"1.0"` |
+| `integration.id` | Lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens (`^[a-z0-9-]+$`) |
+| `integration.version` | Valid PEP 440 version (parsed with `packaging.version.Version()`) |
+| `requires.speckit_version` | Required field; specify a version constraint such as `>=0.6.0` (current validation checks presence only) |
+| `provides` | Must include at least one command or script |
+| `provides.commands[].name` | String identifier |
+| `provides.commands[].file` | Relative path to template file |
+
+### Submitting to the Community Catalog

+1. **Fork** the [spec-kit repository](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)
+2. **Add your entry** under the `integrations` key in `integrations/catalog.community.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "1.0",
+  "integrations": {
+    "my-agent": {
+      "id": "my-agent",
+      "name": "My Agent",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "description": "Integration for My Agent",
+      "author": "your-name",
+      "repository": "https://github.com/your-name/speckit-my-agent",
+      "tags": ["cli"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. **Open a pull request** with:
+   - Your catalog entry
+   - Link to your integration repository
+   - Confirmation that `integration.yml` is valid
+
+### Version Updates
+
+To update your integration version in the catalog:
+
+1. Release a new version of your integration
+2. Open a PR updating the `version` field in `catalog.community.json`
+3. Ensure backward compatibility or document breaking changes
+
+## Upgrade Workflow
+
+The `specify integration upgrade` command supports diff-aware upgrades:
+
+1. **Hash comparison** — the manifest records SHA-256 hashes of all installed files
+2. **Modified file detection** — files changed since installation are flagged
+3. **Safe default** — the upgrade blocks if any installed files were modified since installation
+4. **Forced reinstall** — passing `--force` overwrites modified files with the latest version
+
+```bash
+# Upgrade current integration (blocks if files are modified)
+specify integration upgrade
+
+# Force upgrade (overwrites modified files)
+specify integration upgrade --force
+```

+# Spec Kit Integration Catalog
+
+The integration catalog enables discovery, versioning, and distribution of AI agent integrations for Spec Kit.
+
+## Catalog Files
+
+### Built-In Catalog (`catalog.json`)
+
+Contains integrations that ship with Spec Kit. These are maintained by the core team and always installable.
+
+### Community Catalog (`catalog.community.json`)
+
+Community-contributed integrations. Listed for discovery only — users install from the source repositories.
+
+## Catalog Configuration
+
+The catalog stack is resolved in this order (first match wins):
+
+1. **Environment variable** — `SPECKIT_INTEGRATION_CATALOG_URL` overrides all catalogs with a single URL
+2. **Project config** — `.specify/integration-catalogs.yml` in the project root
+3. **User config** — `~/.specify/integration-catalogs.yml` in the user home directory
+4. **Built-in defaults** — `catalog.json` + `catalog.community.json`
+
+Example `integration-catalogs.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+catalogs:
+  - url: "https://example.com/my-catalog.json"
+    name: "my-catalog"
+    priority: 1
+    install_allowed: true
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# List built-in integrations (default)
+specify integration list
+
+# Browse full catalog (built-in + community)
+specify integration list --catalog
+
+# Install an integration
+specify integration install copilot
+
+# Upgrade the current integration (diff-aware)
+specify integration upgrade
+
+# Upgrade with force (overwrite modified files)
+specify integration upgrade --force
+```
+
+## Integration Descriptor (`integration.yml`)
+
+Each integration can include an `integration.yml` descriptor that documents its metadata, requirements, and provided commands/scripts:
+
+```yaml
+schema_version: "1.0"
+integration:
+  id: "my-agent"
+  name: "My Agent"
+  version: "1.0.0"
+  description: "Integration for My Agent"
+  author: "my-org"
+  repository: "https://github.com/my-org/speckit-my-agent"
+  license: "MIT"
+requires:
+  speckit_version: ">=0.6.0"
+  tools:
+    - name: "my-agent"
+      version: ">=1.0.0"
+      required: true
+provides:
+  commands:
+    - name: "speckit.specify"
+      file: "templates/speckit.specify.md"
+    - name: "speckit.plan"
+      file: "templates/speckit.plan.md"
+  scripts:
+    - update-context.sh
+    - update-context.ps1
+```
+
+## Catalog Schema
+
+Both catalog files follow the same JSON schema:
+
+```json
+{

+# Spec Kit - April 2026 Newsletter
+
+This edition covers Spec Kit activity in April 2026. Seventeen releases shipped (v0.4.4 through v0.8.3), delivering a full integration plugin architecture, a workflow engine, preset composition strategies, an integration catalog, and comprehensive documentation. The community extension catalog tripled from 26 to 83 entries, community presets grew from 2 to 12, and Spec Kit appeared on the Thoughtworks Technology Radar. A summary is in the table below, followed by details.
+
+| **Spec Kit Core (Apr 2026)** | **Community & Content** | **SDD Ecosystem & Next** |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Seventeen releases shipped with major features: integration plugin architecture, workflow engine, preset composition, integration catalog, bundled lean preset, documentation site, and academic citation support. Three new agents added (Forgecode, Goose, Devin for Terminal). The repo grew from ~82k to **92,038 stars**. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) | Thoughtworks Technology Radar placed Spec Kit in the "Assess" ring. Community catalog grew from 26 to **83 extensions** and from 2 to **12 presets**. 12 substantive external articles published. XB Software documented a real legacy project. Fabián Silva shipped the Caramelo VS Code extension. | Matt Rickard argued for "smaller specs, harder checks." Will Torber's three-framework comparison recommended OpenSpec for most teams. The "Spec Layer" debate emerged: specs as constraint surfaces for AI agents. Spec Kit leads in breadth and portability; competitors differentiate on drift detection and orchestration depth. |
+
+***
+
+> **Important:** April's release pace outran external coverage. Most analyses published during the month (Rickard on April 1, Thoughtworks Radar on April 15, XB Software on April 17, Torber on April 23) were evaluating versions that predated the workflow engine (v0.7.0), integration catalog (v0.7.2), preset composition (v0.8.0), and catalog discovery CLI (v0.8.3). The ceremony and flexibility concerns they raised are precisely what these features address — the lean preset, pluggable workflows, composable presets, and community extensions like Conduct, MAQA, and Fleet Orchestrator already deliver alternative workflows beyond the default SDD process. We look forward to seeing how upcoming reviews account for these capabilities.
+
+## Spec Kit Project Updates
+
+### Releases Overview
+
+**v0.4.4** (April 1) delivered the first stage of the **integration plugin architecture** — base classes, a manifest system, and a registry that replaced the hard-coded agent scaffolding. It also added the Product Forge, Superpowers Bridge, MAQA suite (7 extensions), Spec Kit Onboard, and Plan Review Gate to the community catalog, fixed Claude Code CLI detection for npm-local installs, and added `--allow-existing-branch` to `create-new-feature`. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.4.4)
+
+**v0.4.5** (April 2) completed the integration migration in five stages: standard markdown integrations for 19 agents, TOML integrations (Gemini, Tabnine), skills and generic integrations, and removal of the legacy scaffold path. It also installed Claude Code as native skills, added a `--dry-run` flag for `create-new-feature`, support for 4+ digit feature branch numbers, the Fix Findings extension, and five lifecycle extensions to the community catalog. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.4.5)
+
+**v0.5.0** (April 2) was a significant packaging change: **template zip bundles were removed from releases**, with the CLI itself now handling all scaffolding. This ensured CLI and templates stay in sync. It also introduced `DEVELOPMENT.md` for contributor onboarding. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.5.0)
+
+**v0.5.1** (April 8) was a large patch release. It added the **bundled Git extension** (stages 1 and 2) with hooks on all core commands and `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` override support, **Forgecode** agent support, and the `specify integration` subcommand for post-init integration management. Argument hints were added to Claude Code commands. Numerous community extensions joined the catalog (Confluence, Canon, Spec Diagram, Branch Convention, Spec Refine, FixIt, Optimize, Security Review) along with presets (explicit-task-dependencies, toc-navigation, VS Code Ask Questions). Bug fixes included pinning typer≥0.24.0/click≥8.2.1 to fix an import crash, BSD-portable sed escaping, Trae agent fix, TOML frontmatter stripping, and preventing ambiguous TOML closing quotes. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.5.1)
+
+**v0.6.0** (April 9) rewrote **AGENTS.md for the new integration architecture**, added the SpecKit Companion to Community Friends, and brought Bugfix Workflow, Worktree Isolation, and MemoryLint to the community catalog. A new multi-repo-branching preset arrived. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.6.0)
+
+**v0.6.1** (April 10) added the **bundled lean preset** with a minimal workflow command set — a lighter-weight alternative to the full SDD ceremony. It also migrated **Cursor** from `.cursor/commands` to `.cursor/skills` and added Brownfield Bootstrap, CI Guard, SpecTest, PR Bridge, TinySpec, and Status Report to the community catalog. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.6.1)
+
+**v0.6.2** (April 13) added **Goose AI agent** support (YAML-based recipe format), the GitHub Issues Integration extension, and the What-if Analysis extension. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.6.2)
+
+**v0.7.0** (April 14) delivered the **workflow engine with catalog system**, enabling pluggable, multi-step workflow definitions. It added SFSpeckit (Salesforce SDD), the Worktrees extension, optional single-segment branch prefix for gitflow compatibility, and the claude-ask-questions and fiction-book-writing presets. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.0)
+
+**v0.7.1** (April 15) deprecated the `--ai` flag in favor of `--integration` on `specify init`, added Windows to the CI test matrix, fixed Claude skill chaining for hook execution, merged TESTING.md into CONTRIBUTING.md, and added the Agent Assign and Architect Preview extensions. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.1)
+
+**v0.7.2** (April 16) delivered the **integration catalog** for discovery, versioning, and community distribution of agent integrations. It also produced a major **documentation overhaul**: reference pages for core commands, extensions, presets, workflows, and integrations were added to `docs/reference/`, and the README CLI section was simplified. The Issues extension and Catalog CI extension joined the community catalog. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.2)
+
+**v0.7.3** (April 17) replaced shell-based context updates with a **marker-based upsert** mechanism, eliminating accidental context file bloat. It added a **Community Friends page** to the docs site, the Spec Scope and Blueprint extensions, and a Claude Code/Copilot CLI plugin marketplace reference in the README. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.3)
+
+**v0.7.4** (April 21) added **CITATION.cff and .zenodo.json** for academic citation support. It introduced Ripple (side-effect detection), Spec Validate, Version Guard, Spec Reference Loader, and Memory Loader extensions. A fix stripped UTF-8 BOM from agent context files, and the Antigravity (agy) agent layout was migrated to `.agents/` with `--skills` deprecated. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.4)
+
+**v0.7.5** (April 22) added `specify self check` and `self upgrade` stubs, the **preset wrap strategy** (completing the composition trifecta alongside prepend and append), the Red Team adversarial review extension, the Wireframe extension, and a **directory traversal security fix** in command write paths. Skill placeholder resolution was expanded to all SKILL.md agents. Community content (walkthroughs and presets) was moved from the README to the docs site. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.7.5)
+
+**v0.8.0** (April 23) delivered **preset composition strategies** (prepend, append, wrap) for templates, commands, and scripts — enabling presets to layer content around existing artifacts. It also added Copilot `--integration-options="--skills"` for skills-based scaffolding, `pipx` as an alternative installation method, and the Memory MD extension. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.8.0)
+
+**v0.8.1** (April 24) fixed `/speckit.plan` on custom git branches via `.specify/feature.json`, migrated the **Mistral Vibe** integration to SkillsIntegration, added the **Screenwriting** and **Jira** presets, and resolved command reference formats per integration type (dot vs. hyphen notation). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.8.1)
+
+**v0.8.2** (April 28) introduced **GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN authentication** for private catalog and extension downloads, deprecated the `--no-git` flag (removal gated at v0.10.0), replaced all deprecated `--ai` references with `--integration` in documentation, and added MarkItDown Document Converter, Microsoft 365 Integration, Spec Orchestrator, and the Fiction Book Writing v1.7 preset with RAG (Chroma DB) offline semantic search. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.8.2)
+
+**v0.8.3** (April 29) closed the month with **catalog discovery CLI commands** (search, info, catalog list/add/remove), support for **Devin for Terminal** as a skills-based integration, a fix for the opencode command dispatch, and the OWASP LLM Threat Model, iSAQB Architecture Governance, and Work IQ extensions. A fix was also added to the upgrade hint to prevent users from accidentally installing a PyPI squat package. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases/tag/v0.8.3)
+
+### Architecture & Infrastructure Highlights
+
+The most significant architectural change in April was the **integration plugin architecture** (v0.4.4–v0.4.5), which replaced hard-coded agent scaffolding with a registry of self-describing integration classes. Each agent is now a self-contained subpackage under `src/specify_cli/integrations/<key>/` with base classes for Markdown, TOML, YAML, and Skills formats. This six-stage migration touched all 28 supported agents and laid the groundwork for the integration catalog (v0.7.2) and community-distributed integrations.
+
+The **workflow engine** (v0.7.0) introduced a catalog-based system for pluggable, multi-step workflow definitions — moving beyond the fixed seven-step SDD sequence.
+
+**Preset composition strategies** (v0.7.5/v0.8.0) completed the preset system with prepend, append, and wrap modes. Presets can now layer content around existing templates, commands, and scripts rather than only replacing them.
+
+The **marker-based context upsert** (v0.7.3) replaced fragile shell-based sed operations for updating agent context files, eliminating a class of bugs around context bloat and encoding issues.
+
+**Template zip bundles were removed** (v0.5.0), coupling the CLI and templates into a single distributable artifact.
+
+### Bug Fixes and Security
+
+The most critical fix was **blocking directory traversal in command write paths** (#2229, v0.7.5), which prevented a potential path traversal vulnerability in the CommandRegistrar. Other security-adjacent fixes included hardening against a **PyPI squat package** in upgrade hints (v0.8.3) and adding **GITHUB_TOKEN authentication** for private catalog downloads (v0.8.2).
+
+Notable bug fixes: typer/click import crash (v0.5.1), BSD-portable sed escaping (v0.5.1), UTF-8 BOM stripping from context files (v0.7.4), CRLF warning suppression in PowerShell auto-commit (v0.7.3), Claude skill chaining for hooks (v0.7.1), TOML ambiguous closing quotes (v0.5.1), and custom branch support for `/speckit.plan` (v0.8.1). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
+
+### The Extension & Preset Ecosystem
+
+The community extension catalog **tripled** during April, growing from 26 to **83 entries**. 59 new extensions were added and 2 were removed (Cognitive Squad and Understanding, whose repositories were no longer available). Community presets grew from 2 to **12 entries**, with 10 new presets added.
+
+Notable new extensions by category:
+
+- **Project management**: GitHub Issues Integration (Fatima367, aaronrsun), Spec Orchestrator (Quratulain-bilal), Agent Assign (xuyang), Status Report (Open-Agent-Tools)
+- **Quality & security**: Red Team adversarial review (Ash Brener), Security Review (DyanGalih), Ripple side-effect detection (chordpli), Spec Validate (Ahmed Eltayeb), CI Guard (Quratulain-bilal), OWASP LLM Threat Model (NaviaSamal)
+- **Multi-agent & orchestration**: MAQA suite with 7 extensions covering multi-agent QA, Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub Projects, Linear, and Trello integrations (GenieRobot), Product Forge (VaiYav)
+- **Spec lifecycle**: Spec Refine (Quratulain-bilal), Bugfix Workflow (Quratulain-bilal), Fix Findings (Quratulain-bilal), Brownfield Bootstrap (Quratulain-bilal), TinySpec (Quratulain-bilal)
+- **Developer experience**: Blueprint code review (chordpli), Confluence (aaronrsun), MarkItDown Document Converter (BenBtg), Microsoft 365 Integration (BenBtg), Memory MD (DyanGalih), Memory Loader (KevinBrown5280), MemoryLint (RbBtSn0w)
+- **Domain-specific**: SFSpeckit for Salesforce (Sumanth Yanamala), iSAQB Architecture Governance preset (Thorsten Hindermann), Canon baseline-driven workflows (Maxim Stupakov)
+- **Creative**: Fiction Book Writing preset v1.7 with RAG/Chroma DB support (Andreas Daumann), Screenwriting preset (Andreas Daumann)
+
+Notable contributor **Quratulain-bilal** contributed 15 extensions during the month, spanning spec lifecycle, workflow management, and CI/CD integration. **GenieRobot** contributed the 7-extension MAQA suite. **BenBtg** contributed both MarkItDown and Microsoft 365 integrations. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
+
+### Documentation Overhaul
+
+April saw a comprehensive documentation effort. Reference pages for **core commands, extensions, presets, workflows, and integrations** were created under `docs/reference/`. Community content — **walkthroughs, presets, and a Community Friends page** — was moved from the README to `docs/community/`, reducing README length while improving discoverability. The deprecated `--ai` flag references were replaced with `--integration` across all documentation. TESTING.md was merged into CONTRIBUTING.md, and `DEVELOPMENT.md` was introduced for contributor onboarding. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
+
+## Community & Content
+
+### Thoughtworks Technology Radar
+
+On **April 15**, the **Thoughtworks Technology Radar Volume 34** placed GitHub Spec Kit in the **"Assess" ring** under Languages & Frameworks. The blip noted that teams report value in brownfield projects, that the constitution captures project scope and architecture, but flagged potential **instruction bloat, context rot, and verbose markdown output** as concerns to watch. This is the first appearance of any SDD-specific tool on the Radar. [\[thoughtworks.com\]](https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/languages-and-frameworks/github-spec-kit)

+### Community Friends and Tools
+
+The **SpecKit Companion** VS Code extension was added to the Community Friends section (v0.6.0). A community-maintained plugin for **Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI** that installs Spec Kit skills via the plugin marketplace was referenced in the README (v0.7.3). Fabián Silva's **Caramelo** VS Code extension demonstrated a visual UI approach to SDD. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)
+
+## SDD Ecosystem & Industry Trends
+
+### The "Spec Layer" Debate
+
+Matt Rickard's "The Spec Layer" essay established a new framing for SDD: specifications as **constraint surfaces** that reduce execution freedom for AI agents. His comparison of six SDD tools argued for smaller, more focused specs with harder verification checks — a departure from comprehensive specification documents. This framing resonated across the community, with the Thoughtworks Radar entry and multiple comparison articles echoing the tension between spec depth and practical overhead.
+
+### Competitive Landscape
+
+**Will Torber's** three-framework comparison (Spec Kit, BMAD, OpenSpec) recommended **OpenSpec for most teams**, citing lower ceremony and better brownfield support. **Truong Phung** proposed combining Spec Kit with **Superpowers** (Jesse Vincent) for a "plan WHAT + control HOW" hybrid. These comparisons reflected a maturing market where practitioners combine tools rather than picking one.
+
+The **Thoughtworks Radar** placement validated SDD as a category worth tracking but flagged instruction bloat and context rot as open concerns — the same issues the Augment Code comparison raised in March. XB Software's field report confirmed these in practice: SDD adds value for complex legacy work but creates unnecessary overhead for small tasks.
+
+Spec Kit continued to lead in **GitHub popularity** (92k stars) and **agent breadth** (29 integrations). The market continued to differentiate along several axes: Spec Kit on portability and ecosystem breadth, Intent on living specs and drift detection, BMAD-METHOD on multi-agent orchestration, and OpenSpec on simplicity.

+
+## Roadmap
+
+Areas under discussion or in progress for future development:
+
+- **Spec lifecycle management** — context rot and spec drift remained the most cited concern across articles (Thoughtworks Radar, XB Software, Will Torber). The marker-based upsert (v0.7.3) addressed context file drift; spec-level drift detection remains an open area. The Reconcile and Archive extensions are community steps toward this. [\[thoughtworks.com\]](https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/languages-and-frameworks/github-spec-kit)
+- **Workflow customization** — the workflow engine (v0.7.0) and preset composition strategies (v0.8.0) provide the foundation. Community presets for fiction writing, screenwriting, Jira tracking, and architecture governance demonstrate the breadth of possible workflows beyond standard SDD. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
+- **Catalog discovery and distribution** — the integration catalog (v0.7.2) and catalog discovery CLI (v0.8.3) bring `specify` closer to a package-manager experience for extensions, presets, and integrations. Private catalog authentication (v0.8.2) supports enterprise distribution. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
+- **Experience simplification** — the bundled lean preset (v0.6.1), `specify self check` (v0.7.5), and the deprecation of `--ai` in favor of `--integration` (v0.7.1) reflect ongoing work to reduce ceremony and improve the onboarding experience. Multiple external articles (Torber, XB Software) noted SDD overhead as a barrier. [\[dev.to\]](https://dev.to/willtorber/spec-kit-vs-bmad-vs-openspec-choosing-an-sdd-framework-in-2026-d3j)
+- **Cross-platform and enterprise** — Windows CI (v0.7.1), GITHUB_TOKEN authentication (v0.8.2), Salesforce-specific extensions, and the iSAQB architecture governance preset indicate growing enterprise adoption. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)

+### Composition Strategies
+
+Presets can declare a `strategy` per template to control how content is combined. The `name` field identifies which template to compose with in the priority stack, while `file` points to the actual content file (which can differ from the convention path `templates/<name>.md`):

-
-  | Type | `replace` | `prepend` | `append` | `wrap` |

-  For artifacts and commands (which are LLM directives), `wrap` would inject preset content before and after the core template using a `{CORE_TEMPLATE}` placeholder. For scripts, `wrap` would run custom logic before/after the core script via a `$CORE_SCRIPT` variable.
-- **Script overrides** — Enable presets to provide alternative versions of core scripts (e.g. `create-new-feature.sh`) for workflow customization. A `strategy: "wrap"` option could allow presets to run custom logic before/after the core script without fully replacing it.
+- **Structural merge strategies** — Parsing Markdown sections for per-section granularity (e.g., "replace only ## Security").
+- **Conflict detection** — `specify preset lint` / `specify preset doctor` for detecting composition conflicts.

+# Lean Workflow
+
+A minimal preset that strips the Spec Kit workflow down to its essentials — just the prompt, just the artifact.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use Lean when you want the structured specify → plan → tasks → implement pipeline without the ceremony of the full templates. Each command produces a single focused Markdown file with no boilerplate sections to fill in.
+
+## Commands Included
+
+| Command | Output | Description |
+|---------|--------|-------------|
+| `speckit.specify` | `spec.md` | Create a specification from a feature description |
+| `speckit.plan` | `plan.md` | Create an implementation plan from the spec |
+| `speckit.tasks` | `tasks.md` | Create dependency-ordered tasks from spec and plan |
+| `speckit.implement` | *(code)* | Execute all tasks in order, marking progress |
+| `speckit.constitution` | `constitution.md` | Create or update the project constitution |
+
+## What It Replaces
+
+Lean overrides the five core workflow commands with self-contained prompts that produce each artifact directly — no separate template files involved. The result is a shorter, more direct workflow.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Lean is a bundled preset — no download needed
+specify preset add lean
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Test from local directory
+specify preset add --dev ./presets/lean
+
+# Verify commands resolve
+specify preset resolve speckit.specify
+
+# Remove when done
+specify preset remove lean
+```
+
+## License
+
+MIT

-# 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, Junie, Kilo Code, Auggie CLI, Roo Code, CodeBuddy CLI, Qoder CLI, Amp, SHAI, Tabnine CLI, Kiro CLI, Mistral Vibe, Kimi Code, Pi Coding Agent, iFlow CLI, Forge, Goose, Antigravity or Generic
-#    - 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|junie|kilocode|auggie|roo|codebuddy|amp|shai|tabnine|kiro-cli|agy|bob|vibe|qodercli|kimi|trae|pi|iflow|forge|goose|generic

-.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, junie, kilocode, auggie, roo, codebuddy, amp, shai, tabnine, kiro-cli, agy, bob, vibe, qodercli, kimi, trae, pi, iflow, forge, goose, generic)
-
-.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
-
-.NOTES
-Relies on common helper functions in common.ps1
