-> **Deprecation notice:** Starting with v0.6.0, `specify init` will use bundled assets by default and the `--offline` flag will be removed. The GitHub download path will be retired because bundled assets eliminate the need for network access, avoid proxy/firewall issues, and guarantee that templates always match the installed CLI version. No action will be needed — `specify init` will simply work without network access out of the box.

+Templates, commands, and scripts support a `strategy` field that controls how a preset's content is combined with lower-priority content instead of fully replacing it:
+
+| Strategy | Description | Templates | Commands | Scripts |
+|----------|-------------|-----------|----------|---------|

+| `wrap` | Content contains `{CORE_TEMPLATE}` (templates/commands) or `$CORE_SCRIPT` (scripts) placeholder replaced with lower-priority content | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+
+Composition is recursive — multiple composing presets chain. The `PresetResolver.resolve_content()` method walks the full priority stack bottom-up and applies each layer's strategy.
+
+Content resolution functions for composition:
+- **Python**: `PresetResolver.resolve_content()` in `src/specify_cli/presets.py` (templates, commands, and scripts)
+- **Bash**: `resolve_template_content()` in `scripts/bash/common.sh` (templates only; command/script composition is handled by the Python resolver)

+Presets **override by default**, they don't merge. If two presets both provide `spec-template` with the default `replace` strategy, the one with the lowest priority number wins entirely. However, presets can use **composition strategies** to augment rather than replace content.
+
+### 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`):
+
+```yaml
+provides:
+  templates:
+    - type: "template"
+      name: "spec-template"
+      file: "templates/spec-addendum.md"
+      strategy: "append"        # adds content after the core template
+```
+
+| Strategy | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `replace` (default) | Fully replaces the lower-priority template |
+| `prepend` | Places content **before** the resolved lower-priority template, separated by a blank line |
+| `append` | Places content **after** the resolved lower-priority template, separated by a blank line |
+| `wrap` | Content contains `{CORE_TEMPLATE}` placeholder (or `$CORE_SCRIPT` for scripts) replaced with the lower-priority content |
+
+**Supported combinations:**
+
+| Type | `replace` | `prepend` | `append` | `wrap` |

 The following enhancements are under consideration for future releases:
 
-- **Composition strategies** — Allow presets to declare a `strategy` per template instead of the default `replace`:
-
-  | Type | `replace` | `prepend` | `append` | `wrap` |
-  |------|-----------|-----------|----------|--------|
-  | **template** | ✓ (default) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
-  | **command** | ✓ (default) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
-  | **script** | ✓ (default) | — | — | ✓ |
-
-  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
+```

-# 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
-# Leave empty to update all existing agent files

-.SYNOPSIS
-Update agent context files with information from plan.md (PowerShell version)
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-Mirrors the behavior of scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh:
- 1. Environment Validation
- 2. Plan Data Extraction
- 3. Agent File Management (create from template or update existing)
- 4. Content Generation (technology stack, recent changes, timestamp)
- 5. Multi-Agent Support (claude, gemini, copilot, cursor-agent, qwen, opencode, codex, windsurf, 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
