## Integration Architecture
## General practices
Each AI agent is a self-contained **integration subpackage** under `src/specify_cli/integrations/<key>/`. The subpackage exposes a single class that declares all metadata and inherits setup/teardown logic from a base class. Built-in integrations are then instantiated and added to the global `INTEGRATION_REGISTRY` by `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py` via `_register_builtins()`.
- Any changes to `__init__.py` for the Specify CLI require a version rev in `pyproject.toml` and addition of entries to `CHANGELOG.md`.

## Adding New Agent Support
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.
This section explains how to add support for new AI agents/assistants to the Specify CLI. Use this guide as a reference when integrating new AI tools into the Spec-Driven Development workflow.
---
### Overview
## Adding a New Integration
Specify supports multiple AI agents by generating agent-specific command files and directory structures when initializing projects. Each agent has its own conventions for:
### 1. Choose a base class
- **Command file formats** (Markdown, TOML, etc.)
- **Directory structures** (`.claude/commands/`, `.windsurf/workflows/`, etc.)
- **Command invocation patterns** (slash commands, CLI tools, etc.)
- **Argument passing conventions** (`$ARGUMENTS`, `{{args}}`, etc.)
| Your agent needs… | Subclass |
|---|---|
| Standard markdown commands (`.md`) | `MarkdownIntegration` |
| TOML-format commands (`.toml`) | `TomlIntegration` |
| YAML recipe files (`.yaml`) | `YamlIntegration` |
| Skill directories (`speckit-<name>/SKILL.md`) | `SkillsIntegration` |
| Fully custom output (companion files, settings merge, etc.) | `IntegrationBase` directly |
### Current Supported Agents
Most agents only need `MarkdownIntegration` — a minimal subclass with zero method overrides.
| Agent | Directory | Format | CLI Tool | Description |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------- | --------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Claude Code** | `.claude/commands/` | Markdown | `claude` | Anthropic's Claude Code CLI |
| **Gemini CLI** | `.gemini/commands/` | TOML | `gemini` | Google's Gemini CLI |
| **GitHub Copilot** | `.github/agents/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | GitHub Copilot in VS Code |
| **Cursor** | `.cursor/commands/` | Markdown | `cursor-agent` | Cursor CLI |
| **Qwen Code** | `.qwen/commands/` | TOML | `qwen` | Alibaba's Qwen Code CLI |
| **opencode** | `.opencode/command/` | Markdown | `opencode` | opencode CLI |
| **Codex CLI** | `.codex/commands/` | Markdown | `codex` | Codex CLI |
| **Windsurf** | `.windsurf/workflows/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | Windsurf IDE workflows |
| **Kilo Code** | `.kilocode/rules/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | Kilo Code IDE |
| **Auggie CLI** | `.augment/rules/` | Markdown | `auggie` | Auggie CLI |
| **Roo Code** | `.roo/rules/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | Roo Code IDE |
| **CodeBuddy CLI** | `.codebuddy/commands/` | Markdown | `codebuddy` | CodeBuddy CLI |
| **Qoder CLI** | `.qoder/commands/` | Markdown | `qodercli` | Qoder CLI |
| **Amazon Q Developer CLI** | `.amazonq/prompts/` | Markdown | `q` | Amazon Q Developer CLI |
| **Amp** | `.agents/commands/` | Markdown | `amp` | Amp CLI |
| **SHAI** | `.shai/commands/` | Markdown | `shai` | SHAI CLI |
| **IBM Bob** | `.bob/commands/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | IBM Bob IDE |
| **Generic** | User-specified via `--ai-commands-dir` | Markdown | N/A | Bring your own agent |
### 2. Create the subpackage
### Step-by-Step Integration Guide
Create `src/specify_cli/integrations/<package_dir>/__init__.py`, where `<package_dir>` is the Python-safe directory name derived from `<key>`: use the key as-is when it contains no hyphens (e.g., key `"gemini"``gemini/`), or replace hyphens with underscores when it does (e.g., key `"kiro-cli"``kiro_cli/`). The `IntegrationBase.key` class attribute always retains the original hyphenated value, since that is what the CLI and registry use. For CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), the `key` should match the actual CLI tool name (the executable users install and run) so CLI checks can resolve it correctly. For IDE-based integrations (`requires_cli: False`), use the canonical integration identifier instead.
Follow these steps to add a new agent (using a hypothetical new agent as an example):
**Minimal example — Markdown agent (Windsurf):**
#### 1. Add to AGENT_CONFIG
**IMPORTANT**: Use the actual CLI tool name as the key, not a shortened version.
Add the new agent to the `AGENT_CONFIG` dictionary in `src/specify_cli/__init__.py`. This is the **single source of truth** for all agent metadata:
```python
"""Windsurf IDE integration."""
from ..base import MarkdownIntegration
class WindsurfIntegration(MarkdownIntegration):
key = "windsurf"
config = {
"name": "Windsurf",
"folder": ".windsurf/",
"commands_subdir": "workflows",
"install_url": None,
"requires_cli": False,
}
registrar_config = {
"dir": ".windsurf/workflows",
"format": "markdown",
"args": "$ARGUMENTS",
"extension": ".md",
}
context_file = ".windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md"
AGENT_CONFIG = {
# ... existing agents ...
"new-agent-cli": { # Use the ACTUAL CLI tool name (what users type in terminal)
"name": "New Agent Display Name",
"folder": ".newagent/", # Directory for agent files
"commands_subdir": "commands", # Subdirectory name for command files (default: "commands")
"install_url": "https://example.com/install", # URL for installation docs (or None if IDE-based)
"requires_cli": True, # True if CLI tool required, False for IDE-based agents
},
}
```
**TOML agent (Gemini):**
**Key Design Principle**: The dictionary key should match the actual executable name that users install. For example:
- ✅ Use `"cursor-agent"` because the CLI tool is literally called `cursor-agent`
- ❌ Don't use `"cursor"` as a shortcut if the tool is `cursor-agent`
This eliminates the need for special-case mappings throughout the codebase.
**Field Explanations**:
- `name`: Human-readable display name shown to users
- `folder`: Directory where agent-specific files are stored (relative to project root)
- `commands_subdir`: Subdirectory name within the agent folder where command/prompt files are stored (default: `"commands"`)
- Most agents use `"commands"` (e.g., `.claude/commands/`)
- Some agents use alternative names: `"agents"` (copilot), `"workflows"` (windsurf, kilocode, agy), `"prompts"` (codex, q), `"command"` (opencode - singular)
- This field enables `--ai-skills` to locate command templates correctly for skill generation
- `install_url`: Installation documentation URL (set to `None` for IDE-based agents)
- `requires_cli`: Whether the agent requires a CLI tool check during initialization
#### 2. Update CLI Help Text
Update the `--ai` parameter help text in the `init()` command to include the new agent:
```python
"""Gemini CLI integration."""
from ..base import TomlIntegration
class GeminiIntegration(TomlIntegration):
key = "gemini"
config = {
"name": "Gemini CLI",
"folder": ".gemini/",
"commands_subdir": "commands",
"install_url": "https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli",
"requires_cli": True,
}
registrar_config = {
"dir": ".gemini/commands",
"format": "toml",
"args": "{{args}}",
"extension": ".toml",
}
context_file = "GEMINI.md"
ai_assistant: str = typer.Option(None, "--ai", help="AI assistant to use: claude, gemini, copilot, cursor-agent, qwen, opencode, codex, windsurf, kilocode, auggie, codebuddy, new-agent-cli, or q"),
```
**Skills agent (Codex):**
Also update any function docstrings, examples, and error messages that list available agents.
```python
"""Codex CLI integration — skills-based agent."""
#### 3. Update README Documentation
from __future__ import annotations
Update the **Supported AI Agents** section in `README.md` to include the new agent:
from ..base import IntegrationOption, SkillsIntegration
- Add the new agent to the table with appropriate support level (Full/Partial)
- Include the agent's official website link
- Add any relevant notes about the agent's implementation
- Ensure the table formatting remains aligned and consistent
#### 4. Update Release Package Script
class CodexIntegration(SkillsIntegration):
key = "codex"
config = {
"name": "Codex CLI",
"folder": ".agents/",
"commands_subdir": "skills",
"install_url": "https://github.com/openai/codex",
"requires_cli": True,
}
registrar_config = {
"dir": ".agents/skills",
"format": "markdown",
"args": "$ARGUMENTS",
"extension": "/SKILL.md",
}
context_file = "AGENTS.md"
Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh`:
@classmethod
def options(cls) -> list[IntegrationOption]:
return [
IntegrationOption(
"--skills",
is_flag=True,
default=True,
help="Install as agent skills (default for Codex)",
),
]
```
#### Required fields
| Field | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `key` | Class attribute | Unique identifier; for CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), must match the CLI executable name |
| `config` | Class attribute (dict) | Agent metadata: `name`, `folder`, `commands_subdir`, `install_url`, `requires_cli` |
| `registrar_config` | Class attribute (dict) | Command output config: `dir`, `format`, `args` placeholder, file `extension` |
| `context_file` | Class attribute (str or None) | Path to agent context/instructions file (e.g., `"CLAUDE.md"`, `".github/copilot-instructions.md"`) |
**Key design rule:** For CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), `key` must be the actual executable name (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). This ensures `shutil.which(key)` works for CLI-tool checks without special-case mappings. IDE-based integrations (`requires_cli: False`) should use their canonical identifier (e.g., `"windsurf"`, `"copilot"`).
### 3. Register it
In `src/specify_cli/integrations/__init__.py`, add one import and one `_register()` call inside `_register_builtins()`. Both lists are alphabetical:
```python
def _register_builtins() -> None:
# -- Imports (alphabetical) -------------------------------------------
from .claude import ClaudeIntegration
# ...
from .newagent import NewAgentIntegration # ← add import
# ...
# -- Registration (alphabetical) --------------------------------------
_register(ClaudeIntegration())
# ...
_register(NewAgentIntegration()) # ← add registration
# ...
```
### 4. Add scripts
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.
> **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.
**`update-context.sh`:**
##### Add to ALL_AGENTS array
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# update-context.sh — <Agent Name> integration: create/update <context_file>
set -euo pipefail
_script_dir="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
_root="$_script_dir"
while [ "$_root" != "/" ] && [ ! -d "$_root/.specify" ]; do _root="$(dirname "$_root")"; done
if [ -z "${REPO_ROOT:-}" ]; then
if [ -d "$_root/.specify" ]; then
REPO_ROOT="$_root"
else
git_root="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true)"
if [ -n "$git_root" ] && [ -d "$git_root/.specify" ]; then
REPO_ROOT="$git_root"
else
REPO_ROOT="$_root"
fi
fi
fi
exec "$REPO_ROOT/.specify/scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh" <key>
ALL_AGENTS=(claude gemini copilot cursor-agent qwen opencode windsurf q)
```
**`update-context.ps1`:**
##### Add case statement for directory structure
```bash
case $agent in
# ... existing cases ...
windsurf)
mkdir -p "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows"
generate_commands windsurf md "\$ARGUMENTS" "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows" "$script" ;;
esac
```
#### 4. Update GitHub Release Script
Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-github-release.sh` to include the new agent's packages:
```bash
gh release create "$VERSION" \
# ... existing packages ...
.genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-sh-"$VERSION".zip \
.genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-ps-"$VERSION".zip \
# Add new agent packages here
```
#### 5. Update Agent Context Scripts
##### Bash script (`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`)
Add file variable:
```bash
WINDSURF_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md"
```
Add to case statement:
```bash
case "$AGENT_TYPE" in
# ... existing cases ...
windsurf) update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf" ;;
"")
# ... existing checks ...
[ -f "$WINDSURF_FILE" ] && update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf";
# Update default creation condition
;;
esac
```
##### PowerShell script (`scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1`)
Add file variable:
```powershell
# update-context.ps1 — <Agent Name> integration: create/update <context_file>
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
$windsurfFile = Join-Path $repoRoot '.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md'
```
$scriptDir = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$repoRoot = try { git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>$null } catch { $null }
if (-not $repoRoot -or -not (Test-Path (Join-Path $repoRoot '.specify'))) {
$repoRoot = $scriptDir
$fsRoot = [System.IO.Path]::GetPathRoot($repoRoot)
while ($repoRoot -and $repoRoot -ne $fsRoot -and -not (Test-Path (Join-Path $repoRoot '.specify'))) {
$repoRoot = Split-Path -Parent $repoRoot
Add to switch statement:
```powershell
switch ($AgentType) {
# ... existing cases ...
'windsurf' { Update-AgentFile $windsurfFile 'Windsurf' }
'' {
foreach ($pair in @(
# ... existing pairs ...
@{file=$windsurfFile; name='Windsurf'}
)) {
if (Test-Path $pair.file) { Update-AgentFile $pair.file $pair.name }
}
# Update default creation condition
}
}
```
#### 6. Update CLI Tool Checks (Optional)
For agents that require CLI tools, add checks in the `check()` command and agent validation:
```python
# In check() command
tracker.add("windsurf", "Windsurf IDE (optional)")
windsurf_ok = check_tool_for_tracker("windsurf", "https://windsurf.com/", tracker)
# In init validation (only if CLI tool required)
elif selected_ai == "windsurf":
if not check_tool("windsurf", "Install from: https://windsurf.com/"):
console.print("[red]Error:[/red] Windsurf CLI is required for Windsurf projects")
agent_tool_missing = True
```
**Note**: CLI tool checks are now handled automatically based on the `requires_cli` field in AGENT_CONFIG. No additional code changes needed in the `check()` or `init()` commands - they automatically loop through AGENT_CONFIG and check tools as needed.
## Important Design Decisions
### Using Actual CLI Tool Names as Keys
**CRITICAL**: When adding a new agent to AGENT_CONFIG, always use the **actual executable name** as the dictionary key, not a shortened or convenient version.
**Why this matters:**
- The `check_tool()` function uses `shutil.which(tool)` to find executables in the system PATH
- If the key doesn't match the actual CLI tool name, you'll need special-case mappings throughout the codebase
- This creates unnecessary complexity and maintenance burden
**Example - The Cursor Lesson:**
**Wrong approach** (requires special-case mapping):
```python
AGENT_CONFIG = {
"cursor": { # Shorthand that doesn't match the actual tool
"name": "Cursor",
# ...
}
}
& "$repoRoot/.specify/scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1" -AgentType <key>
# Then you need special cases everywhere:
cli_tool = agent_key
if agent_key == "cursor":
cli_tool = "cursor-agent" # Map to the real tool name
```
Replace `<key>` with your integration key and `<Agent Name>` / `<context_file>` with the appropriate values.
**Correct approach** (no mapping needed):
You must also add the agent to the shared context-update scripts so the shared dispatcher recognises the new key:
```python
AGENT_CONFIG = {
"cursor-agent": { # Matches the actual executable name
"name": "Cursor",
# ...
}
}
- **`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`.
### 5. Test it
```bash
# Install into a test project
specify init my-project --integration <key>
# Verify files were created in the commands directory configured by
# config["folder"] + config["commands_subdir"] (for example, .windsurf/workflows/)
ls -R my-project/.windsurf/workflows/
# Uninstall cleanly
cd my-project && specify integration uninstall <key>
# No special cases needed - just use agent_key directly!
```
Each integration also has a dedicated test file at `tests/integrations/test_integration_<key>.py`. Note that hyphens in the key are replaced with underscores in the filename (e.g., key `cursor-agent``test_integration_cursor_agent.py`, key `kiro-cli``test_integration_kiro_cli.py`). Run it with:
**Benefits of this approach:**
```bash
pytest tests/integrations/test_integration_<key_with_underscores>.py -v
```
- Eliminates special-case logic scattered throughout the codebase
- Makes the code more maintainable and easier to understand
- Reduces the chance of bugs when adding new agents
- Tool checking "just works" without additional mappings
### 6. Optional overrides
The base classes handle most work automatically. Override only when the agent deviates from standard patterns:
| Override | When to use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `command_filename(template_name)` | Custom file naming or extension | Copilot → `speckit.{name}.agent.md` |
| `options()` | Integration-specific CLI flags via `--integration-options` | Codex → `--skills` flag, Copilot → `--skills` flag |
| `setup()` | Custom install logic (companion files, settings merge) | Copilot → `.agent.md` + `.prompt.md` + `.vscode/settings.json` (default) or `speckit-<name>/SKILL.md` (skills mode) |
| `teardown()` | Custom uninstall logic | Rarely needed; base handles manifest-tracked files |
**Example — Copilot (fully custom `setup`):**
Copilot extends `IntegrationBase` directly because it creates `.agent.md` commands, companion `.prompt.md` files, and merges `.vscode/settings.json`. It also supports a `--skills` mode that scaffolds `speckit-<name>/SKILL.md` under `.github/skills/` using composition with an internal `_CopilotSkillsHelper`. See `src/specify_cli/integrations/copilot/__init__.py` for the full implementation.

**Quick Tips:**
- **Extension-based agents**: Add to the `extensions` array in `devcontainer.json`
- **CLI-based agents**: Add installation scripts to `post-create.sh`
- **Hybrid agents**: May require both extension and CLI installation
- **Test thoroughly**: Ensure installations work in the devcontainer environment
## Agent Categories
### CLI-Based Agents
Require a command-line tool to be installed:
- **Claude Code**: `claude` CLI
- **Gemini CLI**: `gemini` CLI
- **Cursor**: `cursor-agent` CLI
- **Qwen Code**: `qwen` CLI
- **opencode**: `opencode` CLI
- **Amazon Q Developer CLI**: `q` CLI
- **CodeBuddy CLI**: `codebuddy` CLI
- **Qoder CLI**: `qodercli` CLI
- **Amp**: `amp` CLI
- **SHAI**: `shai` CLI
### IDE-Based Agents
Work within integrated development environments:
- **GitHub Copilot**: Built into VS Code/compatible editors
- **Windsurf**: Built into Windsurf IDE
- **IBM Bob**: Built into IBM Bob IDE

- **IDE agents**: Follow IDE-specific patterns:
- Copilot: `.github/agents/`
- Cursor: `.cursor/commands/`
- Windsurf: `.windsurf/workflows/`
## Argument Patterns
Different agents use different argument placeholders. The placeholder used in command files is always taken from `registrar_config["args"]` for each integration — check there first when in doubt:
Different agents use different argument placeholders:
- **Markdown/prompt-based**: `$ARGUMENTS` (default for most markdown agents)
- **TOML-based**: `{{args}}` (e.g., Gemini)
- **YAML-based**: `{{args}}` (e.g., Goose)
- **Custom**: some agents override the default (e.g., Forge uses `{{parameters}}`)
- **Markdown/prompt-based**: `$ARGUMENTS`
- **TOML-based**: `{{args}}`
- **Script placeholders**: `{SCRIPT}` (replaced with actual script path)
- **Agent placeholders**: `__AGENT__` (replaced with agent name)
## Special Processing Requirements
## Testing New Agent Integration
Some agents require custom processing beyond the standard template transformations:
### Copilot Integration
GitHub Copilot has unique requirements:
- Commands use `.agent.md` extension (not `.md`)
- Each command gets a companion `.prompt.md` file in `.github/prompts/`
- Installs `.vscode/settings.json` with prompt file recommendations
- Context file lives at `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
Implementation: Extends `IntegrationBase` with custom `setup()` method that:
1. Processes templates with `process_template()`
2. Generates companion `.prompt.md` files
3. Merges VS Code settings
**Skills mode (`--skills`):** Copilot also supports an alternative skills-based layout
via `--integration-options="--skills"`. When enabled:
- Commands are scaffolded as `speckit-<name>/SKILL.md` under `.github/skills/`
- No companion `.prompt.md` files are generated
- No `.vscode/settings.json` merge
- `post_process_skill_content()` injects a `mode: speckit.<stem>` frontmatter field
- `build_command_invocation()` returns `/speckit-<stem>` instead of bare args
The two modes are mutually exclusive — a project uses one or the other:
```bash
# Default mode: .agent.md agents + .prompt.md companions + settings merge
specify init my-project --integration copilot
# Skills mode: speckit-<name>/SKILL.md under .github/skills/
specify init my-project --integration copilot --integration-options="--skills"
```
### Forge Integration
Forge has special frontmatter and argument requirements:
- Uses `{{parameters}}` instead of `$ARGUMENTS`
- Strips `handoffs` frontmatter key (Forge-specific collaboration feature)
- Injects `name` field into frontmatter when missing
Implementation: Extends `MarkdownIntegration` with custom `setup()` method that:
1. Inherits standard template processing from `MarkdownIntegration`
2. Adds extra `$ARGUMENTS``{{parameters}}` replacement after template processing
3. Applies Forge-specific transformations via `_apply_forge_transformations()`
4. Strips `handoffs` frontmatter key
5. Injects missing `name` fields
6. Ensures the shared `update-agent-context.*` scripts include a `forge` case that maps context updates to `AGENTS.md` and lists `forge` in their usage/help text
### Goose Integration
Goose is a YAML-format agent using Block's recipe system:
- Uses `.goose/recipes/` directory for YAML recipe files
- Uses `{{args}}` argument placeholder
- Produces YAML with `prompt: |` block scalar for command content
Implementation: Extends `YamlIntegration` (parallel to `TomlIntegration`):
1. Processes templates through the standard placeholder pipeline
2. Extracts title and description from frontmatter
3. Renders output as Goose recipe YAML (version, title, description, author, extensions, activities, prompt)
4. Uses `yaml.safe_dump()` for header fields to ensure proper escaping
5. Context updates map to `AGENTS.md` (shared with opencode/codex/pi/forge)
1. **Build test**: Run package creation script locally
2. **CLI test**: Test `specify init --ai <agent>` command
3. **File generation**: Verify correct directory structure and files
4. **Command validation**: Ensure generated commands work with the agent
5. **Context update**: Test agent context update scripts
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Using shorthand keys for CLI-based integrations**: For CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), the `key` must match the executable name (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). `shutil.which(key)` is used for CLI tool checks — mismatches require special-case mappings. IDE-based integrations (`requires_cli: False`) are not subject to this constraint.
2. **Forgetting update scripts**: Both bash and PowerShell thin wrappers and the shared context-update scripts must be updated.
3. **Incorrect `requires_cli` value**: Set to `True` only for agents that have a CLI tool; set to `False` for IDE-based agents.
4. **Wrong argument format**: Use `$ARGUMENTS` for Markdown agents, `{{args}}` for TOML agents.
5. **Skipping registration**: The import and `_register()` call in `_register_builtins()` must both be added.
1. **Using shorthand keys instead of actual CLI tool names**: Always use the actual executable name as the AGENT_CONFIG key (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). This prevents the need for special-case mappings throughout the codebase.
2. **Forgetting update scripts**: Both bash and PowerShell scripts must be updated when adding new agents.
3. **Incorrect `requires_cli` value**: Set to `True` only for agents that actually have CLI tools to check; set to `False` for IDE-based agents.
4. **Wrong argument format**: Use correct placeholder format for each agent type (`$ARGUMENTS` for Markdown, `{{args}}` for TOML).
5. **Directory naming**: Follow agent-specific conventions exactly (check existing agents for patterns).
6. **Help text inconsistency**: Update all user-facing text consistently (help strings, docstrings, README, error messages).
## Future Considerations
When adding new agents:
- Consider the agent's native command/workflow patterns
- Ensure compatibility with the Spec-Driven Development process
- Document any special requirements or limitations
- Update this guide with lessons learned
- Verify the actual CLI tool name before adding to AGENT_CONFIG

### Recommended validation flow
### Testing template and command changes locally
For the smoothest review experience, validate changes in this order:
Running `uv run specify init` pulls released packages, which wont include your local changes.
To test your templates, commands, and other changes locally, follow these steps:
1. **Run focused automated checks first** — use the quick verification commands [below](#automated-checks) to catch scaffolding and configuration regressions early.
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.
1. **Create release packages**
### Automated checks
Run the following command to generate the local packages:
#### Agent configuration and wiring consistency
```bash
./.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh v1.0.0
```
```bash
uv run python -m pytest tests/test_agent_config_consistency.py -q
```
2. **Copy the relevant package to your test project**
Run this when you change agent metadata, context update scripts, or integration wiring.
```bash
cp -r .genreleases/sdd-copilot-package-sh/. <path-to-test-project>/
```
### Manual testing
3. **Open and test the agent**
#### Testing 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 <temp-dir>/speckit-test --ai <agent> --offline
cd <temp-dir>/speckit-test
# Open in your agent
```
#### Manual testing process
Any change that affects a slash command's behavior requires manually testing that command through an AI 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)
~~~
Navigate to your test project folder and open the agent to verify your implementation.

## 🧩 Making Spec Kit Your Own: Extensions & Presets
Spec Kit can be tailored to your needs through two complementary systems — **extensions** and **presets** — plus project-local overrides for one-off adjustments:
| Priority | Component Type | Location |
| -------: | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| ⬆ 1 | Project-Local Overrides | `.specify/templates/overrides/` |
| 2 | Presets — Customize core & extensions | `.specify/presets/templates/` |
| 3 | Extensions — Add new capabilities | `.specify/extensions/templates/` |
| ⬇ 4 | Spec Kit Core — Built-in SDD commands & templates | `.specify/templates/` |
- **Templates** are resolved at **runtime** — Spec Kit walks the stack top-down and uses the first match.
- Project-local overrides (`.specify/templates/overrides/`) let you make one-off adjustments for a single project without creating a full preset.
- **Extension/preset commands** are applied at **install time** — when you run `specify extension add` or `specify preset add`, command files are written into agent directories (e.g., `.claude/commands/`).
- If multiple presets or extensions provide the same command, the highest-priority version wins. On removal, the next-highest-priority version is restored automatically.
- If no overrides or customizations exist, Spec Kit uses its core defaults.
### Extensions — Add New Capabilities
Use **extensions** when you need functionality that goes beyond Spec Kit's core. Extensions introduce new commands and templates — for example, adding domain-specific workflows that are not covered by the built-in SDD commands, integrating with external tools, or adding entirely new development phases. They expand *what Spec Kit can do*.
```bash
# Search available extensions
specify extension search
# Install an extension
specify extension add <extension-name>
```
For example, extensions could add Jira integration, post-implementation code review, V-Model test traceability, or project health diagnostics.
See the [Extensions reference](https://github.github.io/spec-kit/reference/extensions.html) for the full command guide. Browse the [community extensions](#-community-extensions) above for what's available.
### Presets — Customize Existing Workflows
Use **presets** when you want to change *how* Spec Kit works without adding new capabilities. Presets override the templates and commands that ship with the core *and* with installed extensions — for example, enforcing a compliance-oriented spec format, using domain-specific terminology, or applying organizational standards to plans and tasks. They customize the artifacts and instructions that Spec Kit and its extensions produce.
```bash
# Search available presets
specify preset search
# Install a preset
specify preset add <preset-name>
```
For example, presets could restructure spec templates to require regulatory traceability, adapt the workflow to fit the methodology you use (e.g., Agile, Kanban, Waterfall, jobs-to-be-done, or domain-driven design), add mandatory security review gates to plans, enforce test-first task ordering, or localize the entire workflow to a different language. The [pirate-speak demo](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-pirate-speak-preset-demo) shows just how deep the customization can go. Multiple presets can be stacked with priority ordering.
See the [Presets reference](https://github.github.io/spec-kit/reference/presets.html) for the full command guide, including resolution order and priority stacking.
### When to Use Which
| Goal | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Add a brand-new command or workflow | Extension |
| Customize the format of specs, plans, or tasks | Preset |
| Integrate an external tool or service | Extension |
| Enforce organizational or regulatory standards | Preset |
| Ship reusable domain-specific templates | Either — presets for template overrides, extensions for templates bundled with new commands |
| Variable | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `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.<br/>\*\*Must be set in the context of the agent you're working with prior to using `/speckit.plan` or follow-up commands. |

- **[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.

## Troubleshooting
### Enterprise / Air-Gapped Installation
If your environment blocks access to PyPI (you see 403 errors when running `uv tool install` or `pip install`), you can create a portable wheel bundle on a connected machine and transfer it to the air-gapped target.
**Step 1: Build the wheel on a connected machine (same OS and Python version as the target)**
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
cd spec-kit
# Build the wheel
pip install build
python -m build --wheel --outdir dist/
# Download the wheel and all its runtime dependencies
pip download -d dist/ dist/specify_cli-*.whl
```
> **Important:** `pip download` resolves platform-specific wheels (e.g., PyYAML includes native extensions). You must run this step on a machine with the **same OS and Python version** as the air-gapped target. If you need to support multiple platforms, repeat this step on each target OS (Linux, macOS, Windows) and Python version.
**Step 2: Transfer the `dist/` directory to the air-gapped machine**
Copy the entire `dist/` directory (which contains the `specify-cli` wheel and all dependency wheels) to the target machine via USB, network share, or other approved transfer method.
**Step 3: Install on the air-gapped machine**
```bash
pip install --no-index --find-links=./dist specify-cli
```
**Step 4: Initialize a project (no network required)**
```bash
# Initialize a project — no GitHub access needed
specify init my-project --ai claude --offline
```
The `--offline` flag tells the CLI to use the templates, commands, and scripts bundled inside the wheel instead of downloading from GitHub.
> **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.
> **Note:** Python 3.11+ is required.
> **Windows note:** Offline scaffolding requires PowerShell 7+ (`pwsh`), not Windows PowerShell 5.x (`powershell.exe`). Install from https://aka.ms/powershell.

# 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.
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
```
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `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.
A quick version check is also available via:
```bash
specify --version
specify -V
```

# 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>

| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `--keep-config` | Preserve configuration files during removal |
| `--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`)
4. **Environment variables** (`SPECKIT_<EXT>_*`)
To set up configuration for a newly installed extension, copy the template:
```bash
cp .specify/extensions/<ext>/<ext>-config.template.yml \
.specify/extensions/<ext>/<ext>-config.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.
## Supported AI Coding Agents
| Agent | Key | Notes |

| [Trae](https://www.trae.ai/) | `trae` | Skills-based integration; skills are installed automatically |
| [Windsurf](https://windsurf.com/) | `windsurf` | |
| Generic | `generic` | Bring your own agent — use `--integration generic --integration-options="--commands-dir <path>"` for AI coding agents not listed above |
## 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.
## Install an Integration
```bash
specify integration install <key>
```
| Option | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `--script sh\|ps` | Script type: `sh` (bash/zsh) or `ps` (PowerShell) |
| `--integration-options` | Integration-specific options (e.g. `--integration-options="--commands-dir .myagent/cmds"`) |
Installs the specified integration into the current project. Fails if another integration is already installed — use `switch` instead. If the installation fails partway through, it automatically rolls back to a clean state.
> **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 |
| `--integration-options` | Options for the target integration |
Equivalent to running `uninstall` followed by `install` in a single step.
## 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 the current integration with updated templates and commands (e.g., after upgrading Spec Kit). Defaults to the currently installed integration; if a key is provided, it must match the installed one — otherwise the command fails and suggests using `switch` instead. 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.
## 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 use multiple integrations at the same time?
No. Only one AI coding agent integration can be installed per project. Use `specify integration switch <key>` to change to a different AI coding agent.
### 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 the same integration's templates. Use `switch` when you want to change to a different AI coding agent.

# 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 [" "]

A["⬆ Highest precedence<br/><br/>1. Project-local overrides<br/>.specify/templates/overrides/"]
B["2. Presets — by priority<br/>.specify/presets/id/"]

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.specify
integration: "{{ inputs.integration }}"
input:
args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"
- id: review-spec
type: gate
message: "Review the generated spec before planning."
options: [approve, reject]
on_reject: abort
- id: plan
command: speckit.plan
integration: "{{ inputs.integration }}"
input:
args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"
- id: review-plan
type: gate
message: "Review the plan before generating tasks."
options: [approve, reject]
on_reject: abort
- id: tasks
command: speckit.tasks
integration: "{{ inputs.integration }}"
input:
args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"
- id: implement
command: speckit.implement
integration: "{{ inputs.integration }}"
input:
args: "{{ inputs.spec }}"
```
This produces the following execution flow:
```mermaid
flowchart TB
A["specify<br/>(command)"] --> B{"review-spec<br/>(gate)"}
B -- approve --> C["plan<br/>(command)"]
B -- reject --> X1["⏹ Abort"]
C --> D{"review-plan<br/>(gate)"}
D -- approve --> E["tasks<br/>(command)"]
D -- reject --> X2["⏹ Abort"]
E --> F["implement<br/>(command)"]
style A fill:#49a,color:#fff
style B fill:#a94,color:#fff
style C fill:#49a,color:#fff
style D fill:#a94,color:#fff
style E fill:#49a,color:#fff
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.

## Excluding Files with `.extensionignore`
Extension authors can create a `.extensionignore` file in the extension root to exclude files and folders from being copied when a user installs the extension with `specify extension add`. This is useful for keeping development-only files (tests, CI configs, docs source, etc.) out of the installed copy.
### Format
The file uses `.gitignore`-compatible patterns (one per line), powered by the [`pathspec`](https://pypi.org/project/pathspec/) library:
- Blank lines are ignored
- Lines starting with `#` are comments
- `*` matches anything **except** `/` (does not cross directory boundaries)
- `**` matches zero or more directories (e.g., `docs/**/*.draft.md`)
- `?` matches any single character except `/`
- A trailing `/` restricts a pattern to directories only
- Patterns containing `/` (other than a trailing slash) are anchored to the extension root
- Patterns without `/` match at any depth in the tree
- `!` negates a previously excluded pattern (re-includes a file)
- Backslashes in patterns are normalised to forward slashes for cross-platform compatibility
- The `.extensionignore` file itself is always excluded automatically
### Example
```gitignore
# .extensionignore
# Development files
tests/
.github/
.gitignore
# Build artifacts
__pycache__/
*.pyc
dist/
# Documentation source (keep only the built README)
docs/
CONTRIBUTING.md
```
### Pattern Matching
| Pattern | Matches | Does NOT match |
|---------|---------|----------------|
| `*.pyc` | Any `.pyc` file in any directory | — |
| `tests/` | The `tests` directory (and all its contents) | A file named `tests` |
| `docs/*.draft.md` | `docs/api.draft.md` (directly inside `docs/`) | `docs/sub/api.draft.md` (nested) |
| `.env` | The `.env` file at any level | — |
| `!README.md` | Re-includes `README.md` even if matched by an earlier pattern | — |
| `docs/**/*.draft.md` | `docs/api.draft.md`, `docs/sub/api.draft.md` | — |
### Unsupported Features
The following `.gitignore` features are **not applicable** in this context:
- **Multiple `.extensionignore` files**: Only a single file at the extension root is supported (`.gitignore` supports files in subdirectories)
- **`$GIT_DIR/info/exclude` and `core.excludesFile`**: These are Git-specific and have no equivalent here
- **Negation inside excluded directories**: Because file copying uses `shutil.copytree`, excluding a directory prevents recursion into it entirely. A negation pattern cannot re-include a file inside a directory that was itself excluded. For example, the combination `tests/` followed by `!tests/important.py` will **not** preserve `tests/important.py` — the `tests/` directory is skipped at the root level and its contents are never evaluated. To work around this, exclude the directory's contents individually instead of the directory itself (e.g., `tests/*.pyc` and `tests/.cache/` rather than `tests/`).

A user-level equivalent lives at `~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`. Project-level config takes full precedence when it contains one or more catalog entries. An empty `catalogs: []` list falls back to built-in defaults.
For information about how Spec Kit's dual-catalog system works (`catalog.json` vs `catalog.community.json`), see the main [Extensions README](README.md#extension-catalogs).

- **Usage**: Browse to discover extensions, then copy to your `catalog.json`
**How It Works (default stack):**
**How It Works:**
1. **Discover**: `specify extension search` searches both catalogs — community extensions appear automatically
2. **Review**: Evaluate community extensions for security, quality, and organizational fit
3. **Curate**: Copy approved entries from community catalog to your `catalog.json`, or add to `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml` with `install_allowed: true`
4. **Install**: Use `specify extension add <name>` — only allowed from `install_allowed: true` catalogs

### Catalog Format
@@ -965,92 +961,30 @@ specify extension info jira
### Custom Catalogs
Spec Kit supports a **catalog stack** — an ordered list of catalogs that the CLI merges and searches across. This allows organizations to maintain their own org-approved extensions alongside an internal catalog and community discovery, all at once.
**⚠️ FUTURE FEATURE - NOT YET IMPLEMENTED**
#### Catalog Stack Resolution
The active catalog stack is resolved in this order (first match wins):
1. **`SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL` environment variable** — single catalog replacing all defaults (backward compat)
2. **Project-level `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`** — full control for the project
3. **User-level `~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`** — personal defaults
4. **Built-in default stack** — `catalog.json` (install_allowed: true) + `catalog.community.json` (install_allowed: false)
#### Default Built-in Stack
When no config file exists, the CLI uses:
| Priority | Catalog | install_allowed | Purpose |
|----------|---------|-----------------|---------|
| 1 | `catalog.json` (default) | `true` | Curated extensions available for installation |
| 2 | `catalog.community.json` (community) | `false` | Discovery only — browse but not install |
This means `specify extension search` surfaces community extensions out of the box, while `specify extension add` is still restricted to entries from catalogs with `install_allowed: true`.
#### `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml` Config File
```yaml
catalogs:
- name: "default"
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/extensions/catalog.json"
priority: 1 # Highest — only approved entries can be installed
install_allowed: true
description: "Built-in catalog of installable extensions"
- name: "internal"
url: "https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json"
priority: 2
install_allowed: true
description: "Internal company extensions"
- name: "community"
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/extensions/catalog.community.json"
priority: 3 # Lowest — discovery only, not installable
install_allowed: false
description: "Community-contributed extensions (discovery only)"
```
A user-level equivalent lives at `~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`. When a project-level config is present with one or more catalog entries, it takes full control and the built-in defaults are not applied. An empty `catalogs: []` list is treated the same as no config file, falling back to defaults.
#### Catalog CLI Commands
The following catalog management commands are proposed design concepts but are not yet available in the current implementation:
```bash
# List active catalogs with name, URL, priority, and install_allowed
specify extension catalog list
# Add custom catalog (FUTURE - NOT AVAILABLE)
specify extension add-catalog https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json
# Add a catalog (project-scoped)
specify extension catalog add --name "internal" --install-allowed \
https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json
# Set as default (FUTURE - NOT AVAILABLE)
specify extension set-catalog --default https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json
# Add a discovery-only catalog
specify extension catalog add --name "community" \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/extensions/catalog.community.json
# Remove a catalog
specify extension catalog remove internal
# Show which catalog an extension came from
specify extension info jira
# → Source catalog: default
# List catalogs (FUTURE - NOT AVAILABLE)
specify extension catalogs
```
#### Merge Conflict Resolution
**Proposed catalog priority** (future design):
When the same extension `id` appears in multiple catalogs, the higher-priority (lower priority number) catalog wins. Extensions from lower-priority catalogs with the same `id` are ignored.
1. Project-specific catalog (`.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`) - *not implemented*
2. User-level catalog (`~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`) - *not implemented*
3. Default GitHub catalog
#### `install_allowed: false` Behavior
#### Current Implementation: SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL
Extensions from discovery-only catalogs are shown in `specify extension search` results but cannot be installed directly:
```
⚠ 'linear' is available in the 'community' catalog but installation is not allowed from that catalog.
To enable installation, add 'linear' to an approved catalog (install_allowed: true) in .specify/extension-catalogs.yml.
```
#### `SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL` (Backward Compatibility)
The `SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL` environment variable still works — it is treated as a single `install_allowed: true` catalog, **replacing both defaults** for full backward compatibility:

## Resolved Questions
## Open Questions
The following questions from the original RFC have been resolved during implementation:
### 1. Extension Namespace ✅ RESOLVED
### 1. Extension Namespace
**Question**: Should extension commands use namespace prefix?
**Decision**: **Option C** - Both prefixed and aliases are supported. Commands use `speckit.{extension}.{command}` as canonical name, with optional aliases defined in manifest.
**Options**:
**Implementation**: The `aliases` field in `extension.yml` allows extensions to register additional command names.
- A) Prefixed: `/speckit.jira.specstoissues` (explicit, avoids conflicts)
- B) Short alias: `/jira.specstoissues` (shorter, less verbose)
- C) Both: Register both names, prefer prefixed in docs
**Recommendation**: C (both), prefixed is canonical
---
### 2. Config File Location ✅ RESOLVED
### 2. Config File Location
**Question**: Where should extension configs live?
**Decision**: **Option A** - Extension directory (`.specify/extensions/{ext-id}/{ext-id}-config.yml`). This keeps extensions self-contained and easier to manage.
**Options**:
**Implementation**: Each extension has its own config file within its directory, with layered resolution (defaults → project → local → env vars).
- A) Extension directory: `.specify/extensions/jira/jira-config.yml` (encapsulated)
- B) Root level: `.specify/jira-config.yml` (more visible)
- C) Unified: `.specify/extensions.yml` (all extension configs in one file)
**Recommendation**: A (extension directory), cleaner separation
---
### 3. Command File Format ✅ RESOLVED
### 3. Command File Format
**Question**: Should extensions use universal format or agent-specific?
**Decision**: **Option A** - Universal Markdown format. Extensions write commands once, CLI converts to agent-specific format during registration.
**Options**:
**Implementation**: `CommandRegistrar` class handles conversion to 15+ agent formats (Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Cursor, etc.).
- A) Universal Markdown: Extensions write once, CLI converts per-agent
- B) Agent-specific: Extensions provide separate files for each agent
- C) Hybrid: Universal default, agent-specific overrides
**Recommendation**: A (universal), reduces duplication
---
### 4. Hook Execution Model ✅ RESOLVED
### 4. Hook Execution Model
**Question**: How should hooks execute?
**Decision**: **Option A** - Hooks are registered in `.specify/extensions.yml` and executed by the AI agent when it sees the hook trigger. Hook state (enabled/disabled) is managed per-extension.
**Options**:
**Implementation**: `HookExecutor` class manages hook registration and state in `extensions.yml`.
- A) AI agent interprets: Core commands output `EXECUTE_COMMAND: name`
- B) CLI executes: Core commands call `specify extension hook after_tasks`
- C) Agent built-in: Extension system built into AI agent (Claude SDK)
**Recommendation**: A initially (simpler), move to C long-term
---
### 5. Extension Distribution ✅ RESOLVED
### 5. Extension Distribution
**Question**: How should extensions be packaged?
**Decision**: **Option A** - ZIP archives downloaded from GitHub releases (via catalog `download_url`). Local development uses `--dev` flag with directory path.
**Options**:
**Implementation**: `ExtensionManager.install_from_zip()` handles ZIP extraction and validation.
- A) ZIP archives: Downloaded from GitHub releases
- B) Git repos: Cloned directly (`git clone`)
- C) Python packages: Installable via `uv tool install`
**Recommendation**: A (ZIP), simpler for non-Python extensions in future
---
### 6. Multi-Version Support ✅ RESOLVED
### 6. Multi-Version Support
**Question**: Can multiple versions of same extension coexist?
**Decision**: **Option A** - Single version only. Updates replace the existing version with atomic rollback on failure.
**Implementation**: `extension update` performs atomic backup/restore to ensure safe updates.
---
## Open Questions (Remaining)
### 1. Sandboxing / Permissions (Future)
**Question**: Should extensions declare required permissions?
**Options**:
- A) No sandboxing (current): Extensions run with same privileges as AI agent
- B) Permission declarations: Extensions declare `filesystem:read`, `network:external`, etc.
- C) Opt-in sandboxing: Organizations can enable permission enforcement
- A) Single version: Only one version installed at a time
- B) Multi-version: Side-by-side versions (`.specify/extensions/jira@1.0/`, `.specify/extensions/jira@2.0/`)
- C) Per-branch: Different branches use different versions
**Status**: Deferred to future version. Currently using trust-based model where users trust extension authors.
---
### 2. Package Signatures (Future)
**Question**: Should extensions be cryptographically signed?
**Options**:
- A) No signatures (current): Trust based on catalog source
- B) GPG/Sigstore signatures: Verify package integrity
- C) Catalog-level verification: Catalog maintainers verify packages
**Status**: Deferred to future version. `checksum` field is available in catalog schema but not enforced.
**Recommendation**: A initially (simpler), consider B in future if needed

# Git Branching Workflow Extension
Git repository initialization, feature branch creation, numbering (sequential/timestamp), validation, remote detection, and auto-commit for Spec Kit.
## Overview
This extension provides Git operations as an optional, self-contained module. It manages:
- **Repository initialization** with configurable commit messages
- **Feature branch creation** with sequential (`001-feature-name`) or timestamp (`20260319-143022-feature-name`) numbering
- **Branch validation** to ensure branches follow naming conventions
- **Git remote detection** for GitHub integration (e.g., issue creation)
- **Auto-commit** after core commands (configurable per-command with custom messages)
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `speckit.git.initialize` | Initialize a Git repository with a configurable commit message |
| `speckit.git.feature` | Create a feature branch with sequential or timestamp numbering |
| `speckit.git.validate` | Validate current branch follows feature branch naming conventions |
| `speckit.git.remote` | Detect Git remote URL for GitHub integration |
| `speckit.git.commit` | Auto-commit changes (configurable per-command enable/disable and messages) |

## Configuration
Configuration is stored in `.specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml`:
```yaml
# Branch numbering strategy: "sequential" or "timestamp"
branch_numbering: sequential
# Custom commit message for git init
init_commit_message: "[Spec Kit] Initial commit"
# Auto-commit per command (all disabled by default)
# Example: enable auto-commit after specify
auto_commit:
default: false
after_specify:
enabled: true
message: "[Spec Kit] Add specification"
```
## Installation
```bash
# Install the bundled git extension (no network required)
specify extension add git
```
## Disabling
```bash
# Disable the git extension (spec creation continues without branching)
specify extension disable git
# Re-enable it
specify extension enable git
```
## Graceful Degradation
When Git is not installed or the directory is not a Git repository:
- Spec directories are still created under `specs/`
- Branch creation is skipped with a warning
- Branch validation is skipped with a warning
- Remote detection returns empty results
## Scripts
The extension bundles cross-platform scripts:
- `scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh` — Bash implementation
- `scripts/bash/git-common.sh` — Shared Git utilities (Bash)
- `scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1` — PowerShell implementation
- `scripts/powershell/git-common.ps1` — Shared Git utilities (PowerShell)

# Auto-Commit Changes
Automatically stage and commit all changes after a Spec Kit command completes.
## Behavior
This command is invoked as a hook after (or before) core commands. It:
1. Determines the event name from the hook context (e.g., if invoked as an `after_specify` hook, the event is `after_specify`; if `before_plan`, the event is `before_plan`)
2. Checks `.specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml` for the `auto_commit` section
3. Looks up the specific event key to see if auto-commit is enabled
4. Falls back to `auto_commit.default` if no event-specific key exists
5. Uses the per-command `message` if configured, otherwise a default message
6. If enabled and there are uncommitted changes, runs `git add .` + `git commit`
## Execution
Determine the event name from the hook that triggered this command, then run the script:
- **Bash**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/auto-commit.sh <event_name>`
- **PowerShell**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/auto-commit.ps1 <event_name>`
Replace `<event_name>` with the actual hook event (e.g., `after_specify`, `before_plan`, `after_implement`).
## Configuration
In `.specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml`:
```yaml
auto_commit:
default: false # Global toggle — set true to enable for all commands
after_specify:
enabled: true # Override per-command
message: "[Spec Kit] Add specification"
after_plan:
enabled: false
message: "[Spec Kit] Add implementation plan"
```
## Graceful Degradation
- If Git is not available or the current directory is not a repository: skips with a warning
- If no config file exists: skips (disabled by default)
- If no changes to commit: skips with a message

# Create Feature Branch
Create and switch to a new git feature branch for the given specification. This command handles **branch creation only** — the spec directory and files are created by the core `/speckit.specify` workflow.
## User Input
```text
$ARGUMENTS
```
You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
## Environment Variable Override
If the user explicitly provided `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` (e.g., via environment variable, argument, or in their request), pass it through to the script by setting the `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` environment variable before invoking the script. When `GIT_BRANCH_NAME` is set:
- The script uses the exact value as the branch name, bypassing all prefix/suffix generation
- `--short-name`, `--number`, and `--timestamp` flags are ignored
- `FEATURE_NUM` is extracted from the name if it starts with a numeric prefix, otherwise set to the full branch name
## Prerequisites
- Verify Git is available by running `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null`
- If Git is not available, warn the user and skip branch creation
## Branch Numbering Mode
Determine the branch numbering strategy by checking configuration in this order:
1. Check `.specify/extensions/git/git-config.yml` for `branch_numbering` value
2. Check `.specify/init-options.json` for `branch_numbering` value (backward compatibility)
3. Default to `sequential` if neither exists
## Execution
Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the branch:
- Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
- Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
- Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
Run the appropriate script based on your platform:
- **Bash**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
- **Bash (timestamp)**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh --json --timestamp --short-name "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
- **PowerShell**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1 -Json -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
- **PowerShell (timestamp)**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/create-new-feature.ps1 -Json -Timestamp -ShortName "<short-name>" "<feature description>"`
**IMPORTANT**:
- Do NOT pass `--number` — the script determines the correct next number automatically
- Always include the JSON flag (`--json` for Bash, `-Json` for PowerShell) so the output can be parsed reliably
- You must only ever run this script once per feature
- The JSON output will contain `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM`
## Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed or the current directory is not a Git repository:
- Branch creation is skipped with a warning: `[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; skipped branch creation`
- The script still outputs `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM` so the caller can reference them
## Output
The script outputs JSON with:
- `BRANCH_NAME`: The branch name (e.g., `003-user-auth` or `20260319-143022-user-auth`)
- `FEATURE_NUM`: The numeric or timestamp prefix used

description: "Initialize a Git repository with an initial commit"

# Initialize Git Repository
Initialize a Git repository in the current project directory if one does not already exist.
## Execution
Run the appropriate script from the project root:
- **Bash**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/initialize-repo.sh`
- **PowerShell**: `.specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/initialize-repo.ps1`
If the extension scripts are not found, fall back to:
- **Bash**: `git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"`
- **PowerShell**: `git init; git add .; git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"`
The script handles all checks internally:
- Skips if Git is not available
- Skips if already inside a Git repository
- Runs `git init`, `git add .`, and `git commit` with an initial commit message
## Customization
Replace the script to add project-specific Git initialization steps:
- Custom `.gitignore` templates
- Default branch naming (`git config init.defaultBranch`)
- Git LFS setup
- Git hooks installation
- Commit signing configuration
- Git Flow initialization
## Output
On success:
- `✓ Git repository initialized`
## Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed:
- Warn the user
- Skip repository initialization
- The project continues to function without Git (specs can still be created under `specs/`)
If Git is installed but `git init`, `git add .`, or `git commit` fails:
- Surface the error to the user
- Stop this command rather than continuing with a partially initialized repository

# Detect Git Remote URL
Detect the Git remote URL for integration with GitHub services (e.g., issue creation).
## Prerequisites
- Check if Git is available by running `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null`
- If Git is not available, output a warning and return empty:
```
[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; cannot determine remote URL
```
## Execution
Run the following command to get the remote URL:
```bash
git config --get remote.origin.url
```
## Output
Parse the remote URL and determine:
1. **Repository owner**: Extract from the URL (e.g., `github` from `https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git`)
2. **Repository name**: Extract from the URL (e.g., `spec-kit` from `https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git`)
3. **Is GitHub**: Whether the remote points to a GitHub repository
Supported URL formats:
- HTTPS: `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git`
- SSH: `git@github.com:<owner>/<repo>.git`
> [!CAUTION]
> ONLY report a GitHub repository if the remote URL actually points to github.com.
> Do NOT assume the remote is GitHub if the URL format doesn't match.
## Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed, the directory is not a Git repository, or no remote is configured:
- Return an empty result
- Do NOT error — other workflows should continue without Git remote information

# Validate Feature Branch
Validate that the current Git branch follows the expected feature branch naming conventions.
## Prerequisites
- Check if Git is available by running `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null`
- If Git is not available, output a warning and skip validation:
```
[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; skipped branch validation
```
## Validation Rules
Get the current branch name:
```bash
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
```
The branch name must match one of these patterns:
1. **Sequential**: `^[0-9]{3,}-` (e.g., `001-feature-name`, `042-fix-bug`, `1000-big-feature`)
2. **Timestamp**: `^[0-9]{8}-[0-9]{6}-` (e.g., `20260319-143022-feature-name`)
## Execution
If on a feature branch (matches either pattern):
- Output: `✓ On feature branch: <branch-name>`
- Check if the corresponding spec directory exists under `specs/`:
- For sequential branches, look for `specs/<prefix>-*` where prefix matches the numeric portion
- For timestamp branches, look for `specs/<prefix>-*` where prefix matches the `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` portion
- If spec directory exists: `✓ Spec directory found: <path>`
- If spec directory missing: `⚠ No spec directory found for prefix <prefix>`
If NOT on a feature branch:
- Output: `✗ Not on a feature branch. Current branch: <branch-name>`
- Output: `Feature branches should be named like: 001-feature-name or 20260319-143022-feature-name`
## Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed or the directory is not a Git repository:
- Check the `SPECIFY_FEATURE` environment variable as a fallback
- If set, validate that value against the naming patterns
- If not set, skip validation with a warning

# Extension Self-Test: `$ARGUMENTS`
This command drives a self-test simulating the developer experience with the `$ARGUMENTS` extension.
## Goal
Validate the end-to-end lifecycle (discovery, installation, registration) for the extension: `$ARGUMENTS`.
If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, you must tell the user to provide an extension name, for example: `/speckit.selftest.extension linear`.
## Steps
### Step 1: Catalog Discovery Validation
Check if the extension exists in the Spec Kit catalog.
Execute this command and verify that it completes successfully and that the returned extension ID exactly matches `$ARGUMENTS`. If the command fails or the ID does not match `$ARGUMENTS`, fail the test.
```bash
specify extension info "$ARGUMENTS"
```
### Step 2: Simulate Installation
First, try to add the extension to the current workspace configuration directly. If the catalog provides the extension as `install_allowed: false` (discovery-only), this step is *expected* to fail.
```bash
specify extension add "$ARGUMENTS"
```
Then, simulate adding the extension by installing it from its catalog download URL, which should bypass the restriction.
Obtain the extension's `download_url` from the catalog metadata (for example, via a catalog info command or UI), then run:
```bash
specify extension add "$ARGUMENTS" --from "<download_url>"
```
### Step 3: Registration Verification
Once the `add` command completes, verify the installation by checking the project configuration.
Use terminal tools (like `cat`) to verify that the following file contains a record for `$ARGUMENTS`.
```bash
cat .specify/extensions/.registry/$ARGUMENTS.json
```
### Step 4: Verification Report
Analyze the standard output of the three steps.
Generate a terminal-style test output format detailing the results of discovery, installation, and registration. Return this directly to the user.
Example output format:
```text
============================= test session starts ==============================
collected 3 items
test_selftest_discovery.py::test_catalog_search [PASS/FAIL]
Details: [Provide execution result of specify extension search]
test_selftest_installation.py::test_extension_add [PASS/FAIL]
Details: [Provide execution result of specify extension add]
test_selftest_registration.py::test_config_verification [PASS/FAIL]
Details: [Provide execution result of registry record verification]
============================== [X] passed in ... ==============================

# 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"

***
## Spec Kit Project Updates
Spec Kit released versions **v0.1.7** through **v0.1.13** during February. Version 0.1.7 (early February) updated documentation for the newly introduced **dual-catalog extension system**, which allows both core and community extension catalogs to coexist. Subsequent patches (0.1.8, 0.1.9, etc.) bumped dependencies such as GitHub Actions versions and resolved minor issues. **v0.1.10** fixed YAML front-matter handling in generated files. By late February, **v0.1.12** and **v0.1.13** shipped with additional fixes in preparation for the next version bump. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
The main architectural addition was the **modular extension system** with separate "core" and "community" extension catalogs for third-party add-ons. Multiple community-contributed extensions were merged during the month, including a **Jira extension** for issue tracker integration, an **Azure DevOps extension**, and utility extensions for code review, retrospective documentation, and CI/CD sync. The pending 0.2.0 release changelog lists over a dozen changes from February, including the extension additions and support for **multiple agent catalogs concurrently**. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
By end of February, **over 330 issues/feature requests had been closed on GitHub** (out of ~870 filed to date). External contributors submitted pull requests including the **Tabnine CLI support**, which was merged in late February. The repository reached ~71k stars and crossed 6,000 forks. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues) [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) [\[rywalker.com\]](https://rywalker.com/research/github-spec-kit)
On the stability side, February's work focused on tightening core workflows and fixing edge-case bugs in the specification, planning, and task-generation commands. The team addressed file-handling issues (e.g., clarifying how output files are created/appended) and improved the reliability of the automated release pipeline. The project also added **Kiro CLI** to the supported agent list and updated integration scripts for Cursor and Code Interpreter, bringing the total number of supported AI coding assistants to over 20. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)
## Community & Content
**Eduardo Luz** published a LinkedIn article on Feb 15 titled *"Specification Driven Development (SDD) and the GitHub Spec Kit: Elevating Software Engineering."* The article draws on his experience as a senior engineer to describe common causes of technical debt and inconsistent designs, and how SDD addresses them. It walks through Spec Kit's **four-layer approach** (Constitution, Design, Tasks, Implementation) and discusses treating specifications as a source of truth. The post generated discussion among software architects on LinkedIn about reducing misunderstandings and rework through spec-driven workflows. [\[linkedin.com\]](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/specification-driven-development-sdd-github-spec-kit-elevating-luz-tojmc?tl=en)
**Erick Matsen** (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center) posted a detailed walkthrough on Feb 10 titled *"Spec-Driven Development with spec-kit."* He describes building a **bioinformatics pipeline** in a single day using Spec Kit's workflow (from `speckit.constitution` to `speckit.implement`). The post includes command outputs and notes on decisions made along the way, such as refining the spec to add domain-specific requirements. He writes: "I really recommend this approach. This feels like the way software development should be." [\[matsen.fredhutch.org\]](https://matsen.fredhutch.org/general/2026/02/10/spec-kit-walkthrough.html) [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-dotnet-cli-demo)
Several other tutorials and guides appeared during the month. An article on *IntuitionLabs* (updated Feb 21) provided a guide to Spec Kit covering the philosophy behind SDD and a walkthrough of the four-phase workflow with examples. A piece by Ry Walker (Feb 22) summarized key aspects of Spec Kit, noting its agent-agnostic design and 71k-star count. Microsoft's Developer Blog post from late 2025 (*"Diving Into Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec Kit"* by Den Delimarsky) continued to circulate among new users. [\[intuitionlabs.ai\]](https://intuitionlabs.ai/articles/spec-driven-development-spec-kit) [\[rywalker.com\]](https://rywalker.com/research/github-spec-kit)
On **Feb 25**, the Cleveland C# .NET User Group hosted a session titled *"Spec Driven Development with GitHub Spec Kit."* The talk was delivered by Microsoft MVP **[Eric Boyd](https://ericboyd.com/)** (Cleveland-based .NET developer; not to be confused with the Microsoft AI Platform VP of the same name). Boyd covered how specs change an AI coding assistant's output, patterns for iterating and refining specs over multiple cycles, and moving from ad-hoc prompting to a repeatable spec-driven workflow. Other groups, including GDG Madison, also listed sessions on spec-driven development in late February and early March. [\[ericboyd.com\]](https://ericboyd.com/events/cleveland-csharp-user-group-february-25-2026-spec-driven-development-sdd-github-spec-kit)
On GitHub, the **Spec Kit Discussions forum** saw activity around installation troubleshooting, handling multi-feature projects with Spec Kit's branching model, and feature suggestions. One thread discussed how Spec Kit treats each spec as a short-lived artifact tied to a feature branch, which led to discussion about future support for long-running "spec of record" use cases. [\[martinfowler.com\]](https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html)
## SDD Ecosystem
Other spec-driven development tools also saw activity in February.
AWS **Kiro** released version 0.10 on Feb 18 with two new spec workflows: a **Design-First** mode (starting from architecture/pseudocode to derive requirements) and a **Bugfix** mode (structured root-cause analysis producing a `bugfix.md` spec file). Kiro also added hunk-level code review for AI-generated changes and pre/post task hooks for custom automation. AWS expanded Kiro to GovCloud regions on Feb 17 for government compliance use cases. [\[kiro.dev\]](https://kiro.dev/changelog/)
**OpenSpec** (by Fission AI), a lightweight SDD framework, reached ~29.3k stars and nearly 2k forks. Its community published guides and comparisons during the month, including *"Spec-Driven Development Made Easy: A Practical Guide with OpenSpec."* OpenSpec emphasizes simplicity and flexibility, integrating with multiple AI coding assistants via YAML configs.
**Tessl** remained in private beta. As described by Thoughtworks writer Birgitta Boeckeler, Tessl pursues a **spec-as-source** model where specifications are maintained long-term and directly generate code files one-to-one, with generated code labeled as "do not edit." This contrasts with Spec Kit's current approach of creating specs per feature/branch. [\[martinfowler.com\]](https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html)
An **arXiv preprint** (January 2026) categorized SDD implementations into three levels: *spec-first*, *spec-anchored*, and *spec-as-source*. Spec Kit was identified as primarily spec-first with elements of spec-anchored. Tech media published reviews including a *Vibe Coding* "GitHub Spec Kit Review (2026)" and a blog post titled *"Putting Spec Kit Through Its Paces: Radical Idea or Reinvented Waterfall?"* which concluded that SDD with AI assistance is more iterative than traditional Waterfall. [\[intuitionlabs.ai\]](https://intuitionlabs.ai/articles/spec-driven-development-spec-kit) [\[martinfowler.com\]](https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html)
## Roadmap
**v0.2.0** was released on March 10, 2026, consolidating the month's work. It includes new extensions (Jira, Azure DevOps, review, sync), support for multiple extension catalogs and community plugins, and additional agent integrations (Tabnine CLI, Kiro CLI). [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
Areas under discussion or in progress for future development:
- **Spec lifecycle management** -- supporting longer-lived specifications that can evolve across multiple iterations, rather than being tied to a single feature branch. Users have raised this in GitHub Discussions, and the concept of "spec-anchored" development is under consideration. [\[martinfowler.com\]](https://martinfowler.com/articles/exploring-gen-ai/sdd-3-tools.html)
- **CI/CD integration** -- incorporating Spec Kit verification (e.g., `speckit.checklist` or `speckit.verify`) into pull request workflows and project management tools. February's Jira and Azure DevOps extensions are a step in this direction. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
- **Continued agent support** -- adding integrations as new AI coding assistants emerge. The project currently supports over 20 agents and has been adding new ones (Kiro CLI, Tabnine CLI) as they become available. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)
- **Community ecosystem** -- the open extension model allows external contributors to add functionality directly. February's Jira and Azure DevOps plugins were community-contributed. The Spec Kit README now links to community walkthrough demos for .NET, Spring Boot, and other stacks. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit)

# Spec Kit - March 2026 Newsletter
This edition covers Spec Kit activity in March 2026. Nine releases shipped (v0.2.0 through v0.4.3), introducing a pluggable preset system, air-gapped deployment, automatic skill registration, and seven new AI agent integrations. The community extension catalog grew past 20 entries, independent walkthroughs and blog posts proliferated, and industry coverage debated whether "vibe coding" is dead. A summary is in the table below, followed by details.
| **Spec Kit Core (Mar 2026)** | **Community & Content** | **SDD Ecosystem & Next** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Nine releases shipped with major features: multi-catalog extensions, pluggable presets, air-gapped deployment, and auto-registration of extension skills. Seven new agents added. The repo grew from ~71k to **82,616 stars**. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases) | Walkthroughs by Tiago Valverde, Alfredo Perez, and Sergey Golubev. Over 20 community extensions. The Spec Kit Assistant VS Code extension was recognized as a Community Friend. A Microsoft Learn training module became available. | ByteIota reported AWS pushing SDD as the new standard. Augment Code published a Spec Kit vs. Intent comparison. Competitors differentiate on orchestration depth and living specs; Spec Kit leads in agent breadth and portability. |
***
## Spec Kit Project Updates
### Releases Overview
**v0.2.0** (March 10) opened the month with **simultaneous multi-catalog support**, enabling both core and community extension catalogs at the same time. It added **Tabnine CLI** and **Kimi Code CLI** agents, four community extensions (Understanding, Ralph, Review, Fleet Orchestrator), and `.extensionignore` support. Patch **v0.2.1** fixed broken quickstart links and added catalog CLI help. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
**v0.3.0** (mid-March) delivered the **pluggable preset system** with catalog, resolver, and skills propagation. Presets let teams override default templates with their own conventions, using priority-based stacking. The release also added a **/selftest.extension** for testing extensions, **Mistral Vibe CLI**, migrated **Qwen Code CLI** from TOML to Markdown, and hardened bash scripts against shell injection. New community extensions included DocGuard CDD, Archive & Reconcile, specify-status, and specify-doctor. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
**v0.3.1** added before/after hook events, JSONC deep-merge for `settings.json`, and the **Trae IDE** agent. **v0.3.2** added **Junie**, **iFlow CLI**, and **Pi Coding Agent**, plus a preset submission template and an Extension Comparison Guide. Community extensions continued arriving: verify-tasks, conduct, cognitive-squad, speckit-utils, spec-kit-iterate, and spec-kit-learn. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
**v0.4.0** (late March) introduced **auto-registration of extension skills** — installed extensions' commands are now automatically exposed as agent skills. It also delivered **air-gapped/offline deployment** by embedding core templates in the CLI wheel and added timestamp-based branch naming. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
Three patches closed the month. **v0.4.1** fixed a missing Assumptions section in the spec template and improved repo root detection. **v0.4.2** added AIDE, Extensify, and Presetify to the community catalog, moved the community extensions table into the main README, and recognized the **Spec Kit Assistant VS Code extension** as a Community Friend. **v0.4.3** unified skill naming conventions and restored **PowerShell 5.1 compatibility**. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
### Bug Fixes and Security Hardening
The most significant fix was **shell injection hardening** of bash scripts, addressing potential vulnerabilities from unsanitized git branch names and environment variables. Other fixes included switching to **global branch numbering** for consistent sequencing, suppressing git checkout exceptions and fetch stdout leaks, properly encoding JSON control characters, and adding explicit PowerShell positional binding. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
### The Extension Ecosystem
By late March, over **20 community extensions** had been built for Spec Kit. Thulasi Rajasekaran's LinkedIn article *"The Feature That Turns Spec Kit Into a Platform"* highlighted standouts: **Conduct** (orchestrates SDD phases via sub-agents to avoid context pollution), **Verify Tasks** (catches "phantom completions" — tasks marked done with no real code), **Understanding** (31 quality metrics against specs based on IEEE/ISO standards), and the **Jira and Azure DevOps integrations**. [\[linkedin.com\]](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/feature-turns-spec-kit-platform-extensions-presets-rajasekaran-3ejgc)
Rajasekaran argued the real significance of presets is what they enable: the same machinery that turned "User Stories" into pirate-speak "Crew Tales" could enforce compliance requirements, add mandatory threat-model sections, or require test tasks before implementation tasks. Organizations can curate available extensions by hosting custom catalog URLs. [\[linkedin.com\]](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/feature-turns-spec-kit-platform-extensions-presets-rajasekaran-3ejgc)
## Community & Content
### Developer Walkthroughs and Blog Posts
March produced a wave of independent content as developers explored SDD in practice.
**Tiago Valverde** published *"Spec-Driven Development in Practice: A Walkthrough with Spec Kit"* on March 14. He documents building an Instagram-style photo mural feature using the full Spec Kit workflow, contrasting it with previous ad-hoc prompting: while directly prompting Claude worked for small changes, complex work led to scope creep, ambiguous requirements discovered too late, and no artifacts left behind. Valverde recommends being specific in the initial prompt, reviewing `spec.md` immediately, and highlights the clarify step as particularly valuable. A shorter companion piece, *"The Shift from Vibe Coding to Spec-Driven Development,"* appeared on March 8. [\[tiagovalverde.com\]](https://www.tiagovalverde.com/posts/spec-driven-development-in-practice-a-walkthrough-with-spec-kit)
**Alfredo Perez** published *"Build Your Own SDD Workflow"* on March 21, taking a deliberately contrarian approach. He praises SDD in principle but argues the full seven-step workflow carries too much ceremony for smaller tasks. His solution is a lean **4-step custom workflow**`specify → plan → tasks → implement` — dropping constitution, clarify, and review, wired into the **SpecKit Companion** VS Code extension. The article highlights an important tradeoff: full rigor vs. lightweight adoption. Perez also presented this workflow at an **Angular Community Meetup** on March 25. [\[alfredo-perez.dev\]](https://www.alfredo-perez.dev/blog/2026-03-21-build-your-own-sdd-workflow)
**Sergey Golubev** of prodfeat.ai published *"20+ SDD Frameworks: A Catalog for AI Development"* on March 17. The catalog organizes **20+ frameworks in 6 categories**, highlighting **BMAD-METHOD** (~41k stars, simulates an agile team from AI roles), **QuintCode + FPF** (preserves decision rationale via a 5-phase ADI Cycle), and **cc-sdd** (~2.9k stars, enforced SDD workflow for 8 tools). Golubev presents a three-level maturity model: *Spec-First* (spec per task, discarded after), *Spec-Anchored* (living document), and *Spec-as-Source* (spec is the only artifact). His conclusion: "SDD is not a fad… AI agents generate good code when the task is well-defined. Without a spec — you're rolling the dice." [\[prodfeat.ai\]](https://www.prodfeat.ai/en/blog/2026-03-17-sdd-frameworks-catalog)
### Community Tools and Documentation
The **Spec Kit Assistant VS Code extension** was formally recognized as a Community Friend and added to the README. The README was reorganized: community extensions table moved into the main page for discoverability, a community presets section was added, and the publishing guide gained Category and Effect columns. New walkthroughs included Java brownfield, Go/React brownfield dashboard, and the Spring Boot pirate-speak preset demo. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
A notable community project appeared: **speckit-pipeline** by iandeherdt — a pipeline atop Spec Kit with a **design loop** (designer + critic agents iterating in a browser) and a **build loop** (developer + evaluator agents verifying against acceptance criteria). An open issue (#1966) requests a built-in pipeline command, suggesting this pattern may eventually reach core.
A public **Microsoft Learn** training module, *"Implement Spec-Driven Development using the GitHub Spec Kit"* (3 hours, 13 units), provided an onboarding path for enterprise developers.
## SDD Ecosystem & Industry Trends
### The "Vibe Coding Is Dead" Narrative
*ByteIota* published *"Spec-Driven Development Kills 'Vibe Coding'"* on March 20, reporting AWS pushing SDD as the new standard. Key claims: over 100,000 developers adopting SDD approaches in early tool previews, AWS demonstrating a two-week feature completed in two days using Kiro IDE, and WEF research indicating 65% of developers expect their role to shift toward spec-first workflows in 2026. [\[byteiota.com\]](https://byteiota.com/spec-driven-development-kills-vibe-coding-march-2026/)
Critics got equal space. *Marmelab* called SDD "the exact mistakes Agile was designed to solve." An *Isoform* controlled test found SDD took 33 minutes for 689 lines vs. 8 minutes with iterative prompting, with no measured quality improvement. The emerging consensus favored hybrids — a Red Hat developer captured it: "Use the vibes to explore. Use specifications to build." Other independent articles appeared from Shimon Ifrah, Raul Proenza (Cox Automotive), CGI, and Vishal Mysore. ByteIota also raised an underappreciated concern: if specs replace coding, how do juniors build the judgment to write good specs or review AI-generated code? [\[byteiota.com\]](https://byteiota.com/spec-driven-development-kills-vibe-coding-march-2026/)
### Competitive Landscape
**Augment Code** published *"Intent vs GitHub Spec Kit (2026): Platform or Framework?"* on March 31. The core tradeoff: Spec Kit's strength is **portability** across 22+ agents; Intent offers **living specs** with automated drift detection. The comparison surfaced spec drift as a key architectural concern — Spec Kit's specs can become stale post-implementation, and while community extensions address this, native real-time drift detection is not yet in core. [\[augmentcode.com\]](https://www.augmentcode.com/tools/intent-vs-github)
The broader landscape continued evolving. OpenSpec held ~29.3k stars, BMAD-METHOD grew to ~41k, and Tessl continued in private beta. While Spec Kit leads in GitHub popularity and agent breadth, alternatives differentiate on orchestration depth (Intent, BMAD), enforced discipline (cc-sdd), decision trails (QuintCode), and spec-as-source vision (Tessl). [\[prodfeat.ai\]](https://www.prodfeat.ai/en/blog/2026-03-17-sdd-frameworks-catalog)
## Roadmap
Areas under discussion or in progress for future development:
- **Spec lifecycle management** -- supporting longer-lived specifications that evolve across multiple iterations. The Augment Code comparison and community commentary highlighted "spec drift" as a key concern. The Archive & Reconcile extension (#1844) is a community step; a core solution is expected to be a focus area. [\[augmentcode.com\]](https://www.augmentcode.com/tools/intent-vs-github) [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
- **CI/CD integration** -- incorporating Spec Kit verification into pull request workflows and failing builds when specs are out of alignment. The Jira and Azure DevOps extensions (#1764, #1734) are a first step. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
- **End-to-end workflow automation** -- an open issue (#1966) proposes a built-in pipeline command. The community-built **speckit-pipeline** by iandeherdt already demonstrates multi-agent loops with browser verification. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/iandeherdt/speckit-pipeline)
- **Continued agent expansion** -- seven new agents were added in March alone. The agent-agnostic design means support for emerging tools can be added by anyone. [\[byteiota.com\]](https://byteiota.com/spec-driven-development-kills-vibe-coding-march-2026/)
- **Experience simplification** -- the preset system, custom workflows, and growing walkthrough library lower the learning curve, but extension discoverability will need a more robust solution as the catalog grows. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/releases)
- **Toward a stable release** -- nine releases in one month reflects pre-1.0 momentum. Reaching 1.0 will require stabilizing the extension and preset APIs and ensuring backward compatibility across the agent and extension surface area. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/main/newsletters/2026-February.md)

# Preset System Architecture
This document describes the internal architecture of the preset system — how template resolution, command registration, and catalog management work under the hood.
For usage instructions, see [README.md](README.md).
## Template Resolution
When Spec Kit needs a template (e.g. `spec-template`), the `PresetResolver` walks a priority stack and returns the first match:
```mermaid
flowchart TD
A["resolve_template('spec-template')"] --> B{Override exists?}
B -- Yes --> C[".specify/templates/overrides/spec-template.md"]
B -- No --> D{Preset provides it?}
D -- Yes --> E[".specify/presets/preset-id/templates/spec-template.md"]
D -- No --> F{Extension provides it?}
F -- Yes --> G[".specify/extensions/ext-id/templates/spec-template.md"]
F -- No --> H[".specify/templates/spec-template.md"]
E -- "multiple presets?" --> I["lowest priority number wins"]
I --> E
style C fill:#4caf50,color:#fff
style E fill:#2196f3,color:#fff
style G fill:#ff9800,color:#fff
style H fill:#9e9e9e,color:#fff
```
| Priority | Source | Path | Use case |
|----------|--------|------|----------|
| 1 (highest) | Override | `.specify/templates/overrides/` | One-off project-local tweaks |
| 2 | Preset | `.specify/presets/<id>/templates/` | Shareable, stackable customizations |
| 3 | Extension | `.specify/extensions/<id>/templates/` | Extension-provided templates |
| 4 (lowest) | Core | `.specify/templates/` | Shipped defaults |
When multiple presets are installed, they're sorted by their `priority` field (lower number = higher precedence). This is set via `--priority` on `specify preset add`.
The resolution is implemented three times to ensure consistency:
- **Python**: `PresetResolver` in `src/specify_cli/presets.py`
- **Bash**: `resolve_template()` in `scripts/bash/common.sh`
- **PowerShell**: `Resolve-Template` in `scripts/powershell/common.ps1`
### Composition Strategies
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 |
|----------|-------------|-----------|----------|---------|
| `replace` (default) | Fully replaces lower-priority content | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| `prepend` | Places content before lower-priority content (separated by a blank line) | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| `append` | Places content after lower-priority content (separated by a blank line) | ✓ | ✓ | — |
| `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)
- **PowerShell**: `Resolve-TemplateContent` in `scripts/powershell/common.ps1` (templates only; command/script composition is handled by the Python resolver)
## Command Registration
When a preset is installed with `type: "command"` entries, the `PresetManager` registers them into all detected agent directories using the shared `CommandRegistrar` from `src/specify_cli/agents.py`.
```mermaid
flowchart TD
A["specify preset add my-preset"] --> B{Preset has type: command?}
B -- No --> Z["done (templates only)"]
B -- Yes --> C{Extension command?}
C -- "speckit.myext.cmd\n(3+ dot segments)" --> D{Extension installed?}
D -- No --> E["skip (extension not active)"]
D -- Yes --> F["register command"]
C -- "speckit.specify\n(core command)" --> F
F --> G["detect agent directories"]
G --> H[".claude/commands/"]
G --> I[".gemini/commands/"]
G --> J[".github/agents/"]
G --> K["... (17+ agents)"]
H --> L["write .md (Markdown format)"]
I --> M["write .toml (TOML format)"]
J --> N["write .agent.md + .prompt.md"]
style E fill:#ff5722,color:#fff
style L fill:#4caf50,color:#fff
style M fill:#4caf50,color:#fff
style N fill:#4caf50,color:#fff
```
### Extension safety check
Command names follow the pattern `speckit.<ext-id>.<cmd-name>`. When a command has 3+ dot segments, the system extracts the extension ID and checks if `.specify/extensions/<ext-id>/` exists. If the extension isn't installed, the command is skipped — preventing orphan files referencing non-existent extensions.
Core commands (e.g. `speckit.specify`, with only 2 segments) are always registered.
### Agent format rendering
The `CommandRegistrar` renders commands differently per agent:
| Agent | Format | Extension | Arg placeholder |
|-------|--------|-----------|-----------------|
| Claude, Cursor, opencode, Windsurf, etc. | Markdown | `.md` | `$ARGUMENTS` |
| Copilot | Markdown | `.agent.md` + `.prompt.md` | `$ARGUMENTS` |
| Gemini, Qwen, Tabnine | TOML | `.toml` | `{{args}}` |
### Cleanup on removal
When `specify preset remove` is called, the registered commands are read from the registry metadata and the corresponding files are deleted from each agent directory, including Copilot companion `.prompt.md` files.
## Catalog System
```mermaid
flowchart TD
A["specify preset search"] --> B["PresetCatalog.get_active_catalogs()"]
B --> C{SPECKIT_PRESET_CATALOG_URL set?}
C -- Yes --> D["single custom catalog"]
C -- No --> E{.specify/preset-catalogs.yml exists?}
E -- Yes --> F["project-level catalog stack"]
E -- No --> G{"~/.specify/preset-catalogs.yml exists?"}
G -- Yes --> H["user-level catalog stack"]
G -- No --> I["built-in defaults"]
I --> J["default (install allowed)"]
I --> K["community (discovery only)"]
style D fill:#ff9800,color:#fff
style F fill:#2196f3,color:#fff
style H fill:#2196f3,color:#fff
style J fill:#4caf50,color:#fff
style K fill:#9e9e9e,color:#fff
```
Catalogs are fetched with a 1-hour cache (per-URL, SHA256-hashed cache files). Each catalog entry has a `priority` (for merge ordering) and `install_allowed` flag.

# Preset Publishing Guide
This guide explains how to publish your preset to the Spec Kit preset catalog, making it discoverable by `specify preset search`.
## Table of Contents
1. [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)
2. [Prepare Your Preset](#prepare-your-preset)
3. [Submit to Catalog](#submit-to-catalog)
4. [Verification Process](#verification-process)
5. [Release Workflow](#release-workflow)
6. [Best Practices](#best-practices)
---
## Prerequisites
Before publishing a preset, ensure you have:
1. **Valid Preset**: A working preset with a valid `preset.yml` manifest
2. **Git Repository**: Preset hosted on GitHub (or other public git hosting)
3. **Documentation**: README.md with description and usage instructions
4. **License**: Open source license file (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc.)
5. **Versioning**: Semantic versioning (e.g., 1.0.0)
6. **Testing**: Preset tested on real projects with `specify preset add --dev`
---
## Prepare Your Preset
### 1. Preset Structure
Ensure your preset follows the standard structure:
```text
your-preset/
├── preset.yml # Required: Preset manifest
├── README.md # Required: Documentation
├── LICENSE # Required: License file
├── CHANGELOG.md # Recommended: Version history
├── templates/ # Template overrides
│ ├── spec-template.md
│ ├── plan-template.md
│ └── ...
└── commands/ # Command overrides (optional)
└── speckit.specify.md
```
Start from the [scaffold](scaffold/) if you're creating a new preset.
### 2. preset.yml Validation
Verify your manifest is valid:
```yaml
schema_version: "1.0"
preset:
id: "your-preset" # Unique lowercase-hyphenated ID
name: "Your Preset Name" # Human-readable name
version: "1.0.0" # Semantic version
description: "Brief description (one sentence)"
author: "Your Name or Organization"
repository: "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset"
license: "MIT"
requires:
speckit_version: ">=0.1.0" # Required spec-kit version
provides:
templates:
- type: "template"
name: "spec-template"
file: "templates/spec-template.md"
description: "Custom spec template"
replaces: "spec-template"
tags: # 2-5 relevant tags
- "category"
- "workflow"
```
**Validation Checklist**:
-`id` is lowercase with hyphens only (no underscores, spaces, or special characters)
-`version` follows semantic versioning (X.Y.Z)
-`description` is concise (under 200 characters)
-`repository` URL is valid and public
- ✅ All template and command files exist in the preset directory
- ✅ Template names are lowercase with hyphens only
- ✅ Command names use dot notation (e.g. `speckit.specify`)
- ✅ Tags are lowercase and descriptive
### 3. Test Locally
```bash
# Install from local directory
specify preset add --dev /path/to/your-preset
# Verify templates resolve from your preset
specify preset resolve spec-template
# Verify preset info
specify preset info your-preset
# List installed presets
specify preset list
# Remove when done testing
specify preset remove your-preset
```
If your preset includes command overrides, verify they appear in the agent directories:
```bash
# Check Claude commands (if using Claude)
ls .claude/commands/speckit.*.md
# Check Copilot commands (if using Copilot)
ls .github/agents/speckit.*.agent.md
# Check Gemini commands (if using Gemini)
ls .gemini/commands/speckit.*.toml
```
### 4. Create GitHub Release
Create a GitHub release for your preset version:
```bash
# Tag the release
git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0
```
The release archive URL will be:
```text
https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip
```
### 5. Test Installation from Archive
```bash
specify preset add --from https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip
```
---
## Submit to Catalog
### Understanding the Catalogs
Spec Kit uses a dual-catalog system:
- **`catalog.json`** — Official, verified presets (install allowed by default)
- **`catalog.community.json`** — Community-contributed presets (discovery only by default)
All community presets should be submitted to `catalog.community.json`.
### 1. Fork the spec-kit Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/spec-kit.git
cd spec-kit
```
### 2. Add Preset to Community Catalog
Edit `presets/catalog.community.json` and add your preset.
> **⚠️ Entries must be sorted alphabetically by preset ID.** Insert your preset in the correct position within the `"presets"` object.
```json
{
"schema_version": "1.0",
"updated_at": "2026-03-10T00:00:00Z",
"catalog_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/presets/catalog.community.json",
"presets": {
"your-preset": {
"name": "Your Preset Name",
"description": "Brief description of what your preset provides",
"author": "Your Name",
"version": "1.0.0",
"download_url": "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip",
"repository": "https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset",
"license": "MIT",
"requires": {
"speckit_version": ">=0.1.0"
},
"provides": {
"templates": 3,
"commands": 1
},
"tags": [
"category",
"workflow"
],
"created_at": "2026-03-10T00:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2026-03-10T00:00:00Z"
}
}
}
```
### 3. Update Community Presets Table
Add your preset to the Community Presets table on the docs site at `docs/community/presets.md`:
```markdown
| Your Preset Name | Brief description of what your preset does | N templates, M commands[, P scripts] | — | [repo-name](https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset) |
```
Insert your row in alphabetical order by preset **name** (the first column of the table).
### 4. Submit Pull Request
```bash
git checkout -b add-your-preset
git add presets/catalog.community.json docs/community/presets.md
git commit -m "Add your-preset to community catalog
- Preset ID: your-preset
- Version: 1.0.0
- Author: Your Name
- Description: Brief description
"
git push origin add-your-preset
```
**Pull Request Checklist**:
```markdown
## Preset Submission
**Preset Name**: Your Preset Name
**Preset ID**: your-preset
**Version**: 1.0.0
**Repository**: https://github.com/your-org/spec-kit-preset-your-preset
### Checklist
- [ ] Valid preset.yml manifest
- [ ] README.md with description and usage
- [ ] LICENSE file included
- [ ] GitHub release created
- [ ] Preset tested with `specify preset add --dev`
- [ ] Templates resolve correctly (`specify preset resolve`)
- [ ] Commands register to agent directories (if applicable)
- [ ] Commands match template sections (command + template are coherent)
- [ ] Added to presets/catalog.community.json
- [ ] Added row to docs/community/presets.md table
```
---
## Verification Process
After submission, maintainers will review:
1. **Manifest validation** — valid `preset.yml`, all files exist
2. **Template quality** — templates are useful and well-structured
3. **Command coherence** — commands reference sections that exist in templates
4. **Security** — no malicious content, safe file operations
5. **Documentation** — clear README explaining what the preset does
Once verified, `verified: true` is set and the preset appears in `specify preset search`.
---
## Release Workflow
When releasing a new version:
1. Update `version` in `preset.yml`
2. Update CHANGELOG.md
3. Tag and push: `git tag v1.1.0 && git push origin v1.1.0`
4. Submit PR to update `version` and `download_url` in `presets/catalog.community.json`
---
## Best Practices
### Template Design
- **Keep sections clear** — use headings and placeholder text the LLM can replace
- **Match commands to templates** — if your preset overrides a command, make sure it references the sections in your template
- **Document customization points** — use HTML comments to guide users on what to change
### Naming
- Preset IDs should be descriptive: `healthcare-compliance`, `enterprise-safe`, `startup-lean`
- Avoid generic names: `my-preset`, `custom`, `test`
### Stacking
- Design presets to work well when stacked with others
- Only override templates you need to change
- Document which templates and commands your preset modifies
### Command Overrides
- Only override commands when the workflow needs to change, not just the output format
- If you only need different template sections, a template override is sufficient
- Test command overrides with multiple agents (Claude, Gemini, Copilot)

# Presets
Presets are stackable, priority-ordered collections of template and command overrides for Spec Kit. They let you customize both the artifacts produced by the Spec-Driven Development workflow (specs, plans, tasks, checklists, constitutions) and the commands that guide the LLM in creating them — without forking or modifying core files.
## How It Works
When Spec Kit needs a template (e.g. `spec-template`), it walks a resolution stack:
1. `.specify/templates/overrides/` — project-local one-off overrides
2. `.specify/presets/<preset-id>/templates/` — installed presets (sorted by priority)
3. `.specify/extensions/<ext-id>/templates/` — extension-provided templates
4. `.specify/templates/` — core templates shipped with Spec Kit
If no preset is installed, core templates are used — exactly the same behavior as before presets existed.
Template resolution happens **at runtime** — although preset files are copied into `.specify/presets/<id>/` during installation, Spec Kit walks the resolution stack on every template lookup rather than merging templates into a single location.
For detailed resolution and command registration flows, see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md).
## Command Overrides
Presets can also override the commands that guide the SDD workflow. Templates define *what* gets produced (specs, plans, constitutions); commands define *how* the LLM produces them (the step-by-step instructions).
Unlike templates, command overrides are applied **at install time**. When a preset includes `type: "command"` entries, the commands are registered into all detected agent directories (`.claude/commands/`, `.gemini/commands/`, etc.) in the correct format (Markdown or TOML with appropriate argument placeholders). When the preset is removed, the registered commands are cleaned up.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Search available presets
specify preset search
# Install a preset from the catalog
specify preset add healthcare-compliance
# Install from a local directory (for development)
specify preset add --dev ./my-preset
# Install with a specific priority (lower = higher precedence)
specify preset add healthcare-compliance --priority 5
# List installed presets
specify preset list
# See which template a name resolves to
specify preset resolve spec-template
# Get detailed info about a preset
specify preset info healthcare-compliance
# Remove a preset
specify preset remove healthcare-compliance
```
## Stacking Presets
Multiple presets can be installed simultaneously. The `--priority` flag controls which one wins when two presets provide the same template (lower number = higher precedence):
```bash
specify preset add enterprise-safe --priority 10 # base layer
specify preset add healthcare-compliance --priority 5 # overrides enterprise-safe
specify preset add pm-workflow --priority 1 # overrides everything
```
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` |
|------|-----------|-----------|----------|--------|
| **template** | ✓ (default) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| **command** | ✓ (default) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| **script** | ✓ (default) | — | — | ✓ |
Multiple composing presets chain recursively. For example, a security preset with `prepend` and a compliance preset with `append` will produce: security header + core content + compliance footer.
## Catalog Management
Presets are discovered through catalogs. By default, Spec Kit uses the official and community catalogs:
> [!NOTE]
> Community presets are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. GitHub and the Spec Kit maintainers may review pull requests that add entries to the community catalog for formatting, catalog structure, or policy compliance, but they do **not review, audit, endorse, or support the preset code itself**. Review preset source code before installation and use at your own discretion.
```bash
# List active catalogs
specify preset catalog list
# Add a custom catalog
specify preset catalog add https://example.com/catalog.json --name my-org --install-allowed
# Remove a catalog
specify preset catalog remove my-org
```
## Creating a Preset
See [scaffold/](scaffold/) for a scaffold you can copy to create your own preset.
1. Copy `scaffold/` to a new directory
2. Edit `preset.yml` with your preset's metadata
3. Add or replace templates in `templates/`
4. Test locally with `specify preset add --dev .`
5. Verify with `specify preset resolve spec-template`
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `SPECKIT_PRESET_CATALOG_URL` | Override the catalog URL (replaces all defaults) |
## Configuration Files
| File | Scope | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `.specify/preset-catalogs.yml` | Project | Custom catalog stack for this project |
| `~/.specify/preset-catalogs.yml` | User | Custom catalog stack for all projects |
## Future Considerations
The following enhancements are under consideration for future releases:
- **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
```
