Generalize the landing cards to cover bundles and catalog hosting across all primitives. Restructure the Quick Start into a lean, guided Taskify walkthrough with one command per step (install as a prerequisite, Steps 1-9 aligned with the Full path), and extract the deep per-command detail into two new reference pages: reference/agentic-sdd.md (the /speckit.* SDD process) and reference/agentic-bugfix.md (the bug extension). Retitle the reference overview to "Reference" and group these agentic processes in their own section, distinct from CLI-managed primitives. Remove the duplicated "Detailed Process" walkthrough from README.md (and its TOC entry), repointing readers to the docs-site Quick Start while keeping the concise "Get Started" section as the front door.

Run: - -```bash -specify init -``` - -Or initialize in the current directory: - -```bash -specify init . -# or use the --here flag -specify init --here -# Skip confirmation when the directory already has files -specify init . --force -# or -specify init --here --force -``` - -![Specify CLI bootstrapping a new project in the terminal](./media/specify_cli.gif) - -In an interactive terminal, you will be prompted to select the coding agent integration you are using. In non-interactive sessions, such as CI or piped runs, `specify init` defaults to GitHub Copilot unless you pass `--integration`. You can also proactively specify the integration directly in the terminal: - -```bash -specify init --integration copilot -specify init --integration gemini -specify init --integration codex - -# Or in current directory: -specify init . --integration copilot -specify init . --integration codex --integration-options="--skills" - -# or use --here flag -specify init --here --integration copilot -specify init --here --integration codex --integration-options="--skills" - -# Force merge into a non-empty current directory -specify init . --force --integration copilot - -# or -specify init --here --force --integration copilot -``` - -The CLI checks that the selected integration's required CLI tool is installed on your machine when that integration has `requires_cli: True`. If you do not have the required tool installed, or you prefer to get the templates without checking for the right tools, use `--ignore-agent-tools` with your command: - -```bash -specify init --integration copilot --ignore-agent-tools -``` - -### **STEP 1:** Establish project principles - -Go to the project folder and run your coding agent. In our example, we're using `claude`. - -![Bootstrapping Claude Code environment](./media/bootstrap-claude-code.gif) - -You will know that things are configured correctly if you see the `/speckit.constitution`, `/speckit.specify`, `/speckit.plan`, `/speckit.tasks`, and `/speckit.implement` commands available. - -The first step should be establishing your project's governing principles using the `/speckit.constitution` command. This helps ensure consistent decision-making throughout all subsequent development phases: - -```text -/speckit.constitution Create principles focused on code quality, testing standards, user experience consistency, and performance requirements. Include governance for how these principles should guide technical decisions and implementation choices. -``` - -This step creates or updates the `.specify/memory/constitution.md` file with your project's foundational guidelines that the coding agent will reference during specification, planning, and implementation phases. - -### **STEP 2:** Create project specifications - -With your project principles established, you can now create the functional specifications. Use the `/speckit.specify` command and then provide the concrete requirements for the project you want to develop. - -> [!IMPORTANT] -> Be as explicit as possible about *what* you are trying to build and *why*. **Do not focus on the tech stack at this point**. - -An example prompt: - -```text -Develop Taskify, a team productivity platform. It should allow users to create projects, add team members, -assign tasks, comment and move tasks between boards in Kanban style. In this initial phase for this feature, -let's call it "Create Taskify," let's have multiple users but the users will be declared ahead of time, predefined. -I want five users in two different categories, one product manager and four engineers. Let's create three -different sample projects. Let's have the standard Kanban columns for the status of each task, such as "To Do," -"In Progress," "In Review," and "Done." There will be no login for this application as this is just the very -first testing thing to ensure that our basic features are set up. For each task in the UI for a task card, -you should be able to change the current status of the task between the different columns in the Kanban work board. -You should be able to leave an unlimited number of comments for a particular card. You should be able to, from that task -card, assign one of the valid users. When you first launch Taskify, it's going to give you a list of the five users to pick -from. There will be no password required. When you click on a user, you go into the main view, which displays the list of -projects. When you click on a project, you open the Kanban board for that project. You're going to see the columns. -You'll be able to drag and drop cards back and forth between different columns. You will see any cards that are -assigned to you, the currently logged in user, in a different color from all the other ones, so you can quickly -see yours. You can edit any comments that you make, but you can't edit comments that other people made. You can -delete any comments that you made, but you can't delete comments anybody else made. -``` - -After this prompt is entered, you should see Claude Code kick off the planning and spec drafting process. Claude Code will also trigger some of the built-in scripts to set up the repository. - -Once this step is completed, you should have a new branch created (e.g., `001-create-taskify`), as well as a new specification in the `specs/001-create-taskify` directory. - -The produced specification should contain a set of user stories and functional requirements, as defined in the template. - -At this stage, your project folder contents should resemble the following: - -```text -. -├── .specify -│ ├── memory -│ │ └── constitution.md -│ ├── scripts -│ │ └── bash -│ │ ├── check-prerequisites.sh -│ │ ├── common.sh -│ │ ├── create-new-feature.sh -│ │ ├── setup-plan.sh -│ │ └── setup-tasks.sh -│ └── templates -│ ├── plan-template.md -│ ├── spec-template.md -│ └── tasks-template.md -└── specs - └── 001-create-taskify - └── spec.md -``` - -### **STEP 3:** Functional specification clarification (required before planning) - -With the baseline specification created, you can go ahead and clarify any of the requirements that were not captured properly within the first shot attempt. - -You should run the structured clarification workflow **before** creating a technical plan to reduce rework downstream. - -Preferred order: - -1. Use `/speckit.clarify` (structured) – sequential, coverage-based questioning that records answers in a Clarifications section. -2. Optionally follow up with ad-hoc free-form refinement if something still feels vague. - -If you intentionally want to skip clarification (e.g., spike or exploratory prototype), explicitly state that so the agent doesn't block on missing clarifications. - -Example free-form refinement prompt (after `/speckit.clarify` if still needed): - -```text -For each sample project or project that you create there should be a variable number of tasks between 5 and 15 -tasks for each one randomly distributed into different states of completion. Make sure that there's at least -one task in each stage of completion. -``` - -You should also ask Claude Code to validate the **Review & Acceptance Checklist**, checking off the things that are validated/pass the requirements, and leave the ones that are not unchecked. The following prompt can be used: - -```text -Read the review and acceptance checklist, and check off each item in the checklist if the feature spec meets the criteria. Leave it empty if it does not. -``` - -It's important to use the interaction with Claude Code as an opportunity to clarify and ask questions around the specification - **do not treat its first attempt as final**. - -### **STEP 4:** Generate a plan - -You can now be specific about the tech stack and other technical requirements. You can use the `/speckit.plan` command that is built into the project template with a prompt like this: - -```text -We are going to generate this using .NET Aspire, using Postgres as the database. The frontend should use -Blazor server with drag-and-drop task boards, real-time updates. There should be a REST API created with a projects API, -tasks API, and a notifications API. -``` - -The output of this step will include a number of implementation detail documents, with your directory tree resembling this: - -```text -. -├── CLAUDE.md -├── .specify -│ ├── memory -│ │ └── constitution.md -│ ├── scripts -│ │ └── bash -│ │ ├── check-prerequisites.sh -│ │ ├── common.sh -│ │ ├── create-new-feature.sh -│ │ ├── setup-plan.sh -│ │ └── setup-tasks.sh -│ └── templates -│ ├── CLAUDE-template.md -│ ├── plan-template.md -│ ├── spec-template.md -│ └── tasks-template.md -└── specs - └── 001-create-taskify - ├── contracts - │ ├── api-spec.json - │ └── signalr-spec.md - ├── data-model.md - ├── plan.md - ├── quickstart.md - ├── research.md - └── spec.md -``` - -Check the `research.md` document to ensure that the right tech stack is used, based on your instructions. You can ask Claude Code to refine it if any of the components stand out, or even have it check the locally-installed version of the platform/framework you want to use (e.g., .NET). - -Additionally, you might want to ask Claude Code to research details about the chosen tech stack if it's something that is rapidly changing (e.g., .NET Aspire, JS frameworks), with a prompt like this: - -```text -I want you to go through the implementation plan and implementation details, looking for areas that could -benefit from additional research as .NET Aspire is a rapidly changing library. For those areas that you identify that -require further research, I want you to update the research document with additional details about the specific -versions that we are going to be using in this Taskify application and spawn parallel research tasks to clarify -any details using research from the web. -``` - -During this process, you might find that Claude Code gets stuck researching the wrong thing - you can help nudge it in the right direction with a prompt like this: - -```text -I think we need to break this down into a series of steps. First, identify a list of tasks -that you would need to do during implementation that you're not sure of or would benefit -from further research. Write down a list of those tasks. And then for each one of these tasks, -I want you to spin up a separate research task so that the net results is we are researching -all of those very specific tasks in parallel. What I saw you doing was it looks like you were -researching .NET Aspire in general and I don't think that's gonna do much for us in this case. -That's way too untargeted research. The research needs to help you solve a specific targeted question. -``` - -> [!NOTE] -> Claude Code might be over-eager and add components that you did not ask for. Ask it to clarify the rationale and the source of the change. - -### **STEP 5:** Have Claude Code validate the plan - -With the plan in place, you should have Claude Code run through it to make sure that there are no missing pieces. You can use a prompt like this: - -```text -Now I want you to go and audit the implementation plan and the implementation detail files. -Read through it with an eye on determining whether or not there is a sequence of tasks that you need -to be doing that are obvious from reading this. Because I don't know if there's enough here. For example, -when I look at the core implementation, it would be useful to reference the appropriate places in the implementation -details where it can find the information as it walks through each step in the core implementation or in the refinement. -``` - -This helps refine the implementation plan and helps you avoid potential blind spots that Claude Code missed in its planning cycle. Once the initial refinement pass is complete, ask Claude Code to go through the checklist once more before you can get to the implementation. - -You can also ask Claude Code (if you have the [GitHub CLI](https://docs.github.com/en/github-cli/github-cli) installed) to go ahead and create a pull request from your current branch to `main` with a detailed description, to make sure that the effort is properly tracked. - -> [!NOTE] -> Before you have the agent implement it, it's also worth prompting Claude Code to cross-check the details to see if there are any over-engineered pieces (remember - it can be over-eager). If over-engineered components or decisions exist, you can ask Claude Code to resolve them. Ensure that Claude Code follows the constitution in `.specify/memory/constitution.md` as the foundational piece that it must adhere to when establishing the plan. - -### **STEP 6:** Generate task breakdown with /speckit.tasks - -With the implementation plan validated, you can now break down the plan into specific, actionable tasks that can be executed in the correct order. Use the `/speckit.tasks` command to automatically generate a detailed task breakdown from your implementation plan: - -```text -/speckit.tasks -``` - -This step creates a `tasks.md` file in your feature specification directory that contains: - -- **Task breakdown organized by user story** - Each user story becomes a separate implementation phase with its own set of tasks -- **Dependency management** - Tasks are ordered to respect dependencies between components (e.g., models before services, services before endpoints) -- **Parallel execution markers** - Tasks that can run in parallel are marked with `[P]` to optimize development workflow -- **File path specifications** - Each task includes the exact file paths where implementation should occur -- **Test-driven development structure** - If tests are requested, test tasks are included and ordered to be written before implementation -- **Checkpoint validation** - Each user story phase includes checkpoints to validate independent functionality - -The generated tasks.md provides a clear roadmap for the `/speckit.implement` command, ensuring systematic implementation that maintains code quality and allows for incremental delivery of user stories. - -### **STEP 7:** Implementation - -Once ready, use the `/speckit.implement` command to execute your implementation plan: - -```text -/speckit.implement -``` - -The `/speckit.implement` command will: - -- Validate that all prerequisites are in place (constitution, spec, plan, and tasks) -- Parse the task breakdown from `tasks.md` -- Execute tasks in the correct order, respecting dependencies and parallel execution markers -- Follow the TDD approach defined in your task plan -- Provide progress updates and handle errors appropriately - -> [!IMPORTANT] -> The coding agent will execute local CLI commands (such as `dotnet`, `npm`, etc.) - make sure you have the required tools installed on your machine. - -Once the implementation is complete, test the application and resolve any runtime errors that may not be visible in CLI logs (e.g., browser console errors). You can copy and paste such errors back to your coding agent for resolution. - -

Commands resolve the feature from that state, **not** from the checked-out Git branch — no Git required. The opt-in **git** extension adds numbered feature branches (e.g. `001-feature-name`) for organizing work in version control, but the active feature is still whichever directory that state points to; `git checkout` alone does not change it. To point commands at a different feature, update `.specify/feature.json` (or set `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`). -### Step 4: Refine and Validate the Spec +After installing Spec Kit, each command below is a step in the process.

For a malformed authority such as an unterminated IPv6 bracket (`https://[::1`), `urlparse(...).hostname` raises `ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL`, which escapes the method. Its docstring promises `PresetValidationError`, and its callers (`preset catalog add`, `preset catalog list` reading the `SPECKIT_PRESET_CATALOG_URL` env var / `.specify/preset-catalogs.yml`) only catch `PresetValidationError` -- so a malformed URL crashes the CLI with a traceback instead of a clean error message. The shared `CatalogStackBase` (#3435), `workflows` (#3484), `bundler` (#3433) and `IntegrationCatalog` copies already wrap this in `try/except ValueError`; the preset validator was the remaining un-updated twin. Mirror the shared implementation: wrap `urlparse` + `.hostname`, re-raise as `PresetValidationError("Catalog URL is malformed: ...")`, and read the local `hostname` in the host check. Add a regression test mirroring `IntegrationCatalog`'s `test_malformed_url_rejected_cleanly`; it is red before the fix (raw `ValueError`) and green after.

It provides a five-stage funnel: intake, research, define, shape, decide, each writing one artifact under .specify/assessments//. A go verdict hands off to /speckit.specify; killing an idea is a first-class success outcome. Registration: - extensions/catalog.json: bundled core opt-in entry (before bug) - pyproject.toml: force-include maps into core_pack so it ships in the installed wheel (verified via wheel build) Also normalizes a Rich-wrapped substring assertion in test_workflows.py so the suite passes at CI's 80-column non-TTY width.

The hook fired on every /speckit.specify invocation (it had no condition), nagging even when an assessment already existed and the user was deliberately proceeding. Unlike git's before_specify (a mechanical prerequisite: create a feature branch) or agent-context's after_* hooks (reacting to spec output), assess is an upstream, optional, human-judgment process. The coupling that belongs here already runs forward and by choice: a `go` verdict from /speckit.assess.decide hands off to /speckit.specify.

This guarantees a slug like `../..` cannot escape .specify/assessments/. - Metadata accuracy: the extension.yml and catalog.json descriptions no longer imply a "build/kill" call is handed to /speckit.specify — only a `go` hands off; a `kill` closes the assessment. - Verdict determinism (decide): a `go` now explicitly requires evidence strength `adequate`+ (never weak/unknown), resolving the conflict with the thin-evidence guardrail. - Risk polarity (decide): renamed the "Risk" criterion to "Risk posture" with positive polarity (strong = risks understood and mitigated) so it composes with the other scores that feed the verdict. - README: aligned the go-threshold guardrail with the evidence rule and documented the slug-normalization safety property.

Each command now, before any mkdir/read/write, resolves the real path of .specify/assessments// and every artifact, refuses to follow a symlinked .specify / assessments / slug dir / artifact, and verifies the resolved path stays inside the project root. This blocks a cloned or crafted project from redirecting reads/writes outside the repository. Each stage enforces this independently since research/define/decide can run without intake. - research URL policy: replaced the open-ended "and comparable well-known hosts" no-prompt branch with intake's exact enumerated allowlist, so an agent cannot classify an attacker-controlled host as "comparable" and fetch it without confirmation. - README: guardrail now documents symlink/realpath containment.

Capture now redacts secrets (sanitize URLs; strip tokens, passwords, keys, cookies) inside the quoted text as well as the Source field, and the section heading is "Idea (as captured)" rather than "verbatim". - Explicit-slug collision: in automated mode an existing intake.md caused a silent switch to a new slug, contradicting the no-suffix guarantee for user-provided slugs. Now: user-provided slug collision -> stop and report; only a self-generated slug (already disambiguated at resolution) is re-slugged.

The URL Trust Policy refused only textual IPv4 loopback/RFC1918/metadata hosts, so an approved hostname resolving to an internal IPv6 or IPv4-mapped address could still reach internal services. The refuse- outright list now covers IPv6 link-local (fe80::/10), unique-local (fc00::/7), IPv4-mapped forms, and the IPv6 metadata address, and adds a resolution-time check: even an allowlisted or user-confirmed host is refused when it resolves to any non-public address, defeating DNS rebinding.

The policy now requires the fetch to pin the connection to a validated public address (or verify the connected peer) and re-apply the refusal ranges to the address actually connected to; if the fetch mechanism cannot pin or expose the peer, the fetch is refused rather than trusted by hostname. - Slug-only direct entry (research + define): when intake/research artifacts are absent and $ARGUMENTS carries only a slug, the commands no longer infer an idea/problem from the slug. They now require substantive idea/problem text and otherwise prompt (interactive) or stop (automated). - Cleaned up a leftover duplicate ASSESS_DIR assignment line in research.

The intake guardrail said the command "only reads and writes inside .specify/assessments//", which contradicts its documented inputs: intake must read a codebase pointer (repository inspection) and fetch an allowed URL to capture the idea. The guardrail now limits only *writes* to the assessment directory and explicitly permits read-only inspection of the supplied sources (repo + allowlisted URL fetch under the URL Trust Policy). The other four commands already phrased this correctly ("read only, and write inside ...") and are unchanged.

Reword the clause in all five commands so a not-yet-created directory is permitted, while still refusing when `.specify` or `.specify/assessments` exists as a symlink or escapes the project root.

Frontmatter is parsed before command-reference resolution, so it now uses agent-neutral wording ("hand survivors off into Spec-Driven Development") instead of a dot-style literal that would be wrong for non-dot integrations. - The `## If go — Handoff to …` heading inside the decision.md output template hard-coded `/speckit.specify`, which would be written verbatim into decision.md. It now uses the `__SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__` placeholder, like the rest of the command, so the active integration's invocation style is rendered.
