* docs(extensions): clarify agent-context README and add config examples Rewrite the agent-context extension README to read as plain prose instead of a bullet dump, and add the missing install/disable commands (specify extension add/disable/enable agent-context). Add inline example comments to agent-context-config.yml for context_file/context_files. * docs(agent-context): clarify config documentation - Reformat comments to flow as single-line paragraphs instead of multi-line breaks - Add "WHAT" sections describing each configuration option's purpose - Add "REQUIREMENT" sections specifying if options are optional or required - Add explicit EXAMPLE sections for context_markers configuration - Improve clarity of context_file and context_files option descriptions * docs(agent-context): fix GitHub casing, clarify config - Fix "Github" -> "GitHub" casing in README issues link - Clarify agent-context-config.yml comments on context_file/context_files behavior and precedence * YAML indentation fix for context markers Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * docs(agent-context): simplify README config section - Clarify config file path reference (.specify/extensions path vs repo path) - Remove duplicated YAML example/field docs from README, point to config file directly - Minor spacing fix in agent-context-config.yml comment * docs(agent-context): clarify config file path in README - Reference the installed .specify config path alongside the repo-relative link * docs(agent-context): clarify install and marker requirement - README: clarify install command must be run from an initialized Spec Kit project root - config: correct context_markers requirement from REQUIRED to OPTIONAL * Wording Fix Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * docs(agent-context): clarify context_file path rules - Document that context_file/context_files are relative to the project root (directory containing .specify/) - State the rejected path forms (absolute paths, backslash separators, .. segments) directly in each field's WHAT comment * Updated supported invocation syntaxes Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Extension Disable Clarification Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * docs(agent-context): document .mdc frontmatter exception - Clarify that .mdc files get alwaysApply: true set in frontmatter, outside the managed marker block - Fix "Everything else is untouched" wording so it doesn't contradict the exception right above it --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

# Coding Agent Context Extension
|
|
|
|
This bundled extension manages the **coding agent context/instruction file** (e.g. `CLAUDE.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md`, …) for the active integration.
|
|
|
|
It owns the lifecycle of the managed section delimited by the configurable start/end markers (defaults: `<!-- SPECKIT START -->` / `<!-- SPECKIT END -->`). For `.mdc` files, it also ensures the YAML frontmatter (the metadata block at the top of the file) contains `alwaysApply: true`. Otherwise, everything outside the managed section is untouched.
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: Spec Kit itself never touches your agent context file. This extension is the only thing that does, and it's opt-in: install it if you want the block kept in sync, skip it if you'd rather manage that file yourself.
|
|
|
|
## Why an extension?
|
|
|
|
Not every Spec Kit user wants Spec Kit to write into the coding agent's context file. Keeping this behavior in a dedicated, **opt-in** extension lets users:
|
|
|
|
- **Choose whether to install it at all** - `specify init` does **not** install it. Add it explicitly when you want Spec Kit to manage the agent context file; when it is absent, the file is never modified, and when it is disabled, its automatic hooks do not run.
|
|
- **Customize the markers** by editing `.specify/extensions/agent-context/agent-context-config.yml` ([agent-context-config.yml](./agent-context-config.yml) in this repo) - the bundled scripts honor the `context_markers` value.
|
|
- **Synchronize multiple agent anchors** by setting `context_files` when a project intentionally uses more than one coding agent context file, such as `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`.
|
|
- **Refresh on demand** by running the `speckit.agent-context.update` command in your agent, or automatically through the hooks declared in [extension.yml](./extension.yml) (`after_specify`, `after_plan`).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To install the extension, from the root of an initialized Spec Kit project, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
specify extension add agent-context
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Disabling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
specify extension disable agent-context
|
|
|
|
# Re-enable it
|
|
specify extension enable agent-context
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While this extension is disabled (or not installed), nothing in Spec Kit creates, updates, or removes the managed block - the `__CONTEXT_FILE__` placeholder in any template is left as-is, and the extension's own config is never read.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `speckit.agent-context.update` | Refresh the managed section in the agent context file with the current plan path. |
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: The command ID above is canonical. Invoke it using the syntax for your integration: `/speckit.agent-context.update` for dot-command integrations; `/speckit-agent-context-update` for hyphen/skills integrations (including Forge and Cline); `$speckit-agent-context-update` for Codex or ZCode in skills mode; or `/skill:speckit-agent-context-update` for Kimi.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
All configuration flows through the extension's own config file at `.specify/extensions/agent-context/agent-context-config.yml` ([agent-context-config.yml](./agent-context-config.yml) in the repo).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
The bundled update scripts require **Python 3** with **PyYAML** for YAML/upsert processing (PowerShell can also use `ConvertFrom-Yaml` when available).
|
|
|
|
PyYAML ships with the `specify` CLI and is normally available via the same `python3` interpreter. If a hook reports _"PyYAML is required … not available in the current Python environment"_, it means the system `python3` differs from the one used to install Spec Kit. To resolve, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install pyyaml
|
|
# or target the specific interpreter Spec Kit uses:
|
|
/path/to/speckit-python -m pip install pyyaml
|
|
```
