<!-- markdownlint-disable MD024 -->
All notable changes to the Specify CLI and templates are documented here.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [0.1.2] - 2026-02-20
### Fixed
- **Python 3.14 / Homebrew compatibility**: Added explicit `click>=8.1` dependency so the resolver always selects a Click version compatible with Python 3.14 and avoids errors such as `TypeError: ParamType.get_metavar() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ctx'` when an older Click would otherwise be used. Note that broader uv/Homebrew environment isolation or `sys.path` bleed issues (see [#1631](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/1631)) may still require environment-level workarounds.
## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-13
## [0.1.3] - Unreleased
### Added
- **Agent Skills Installation**: New `--ai-skills` CLI option to install Prompt.MD templates as agent skills following [agentskills.io specification](https://agentskills.io/specification)
- Skills are installed to agent-specific directories (e.g., `.claude/skills/`, `.gemini/skills/`, `.github/skills/`)
- Codex uses `.agents/skills/` following Codex agent directory conventions
- Default fallback directory is `.agents/skills/` for agents without a specific mapping
- Requires `--ai` flag to be specified
- Converts all 9 spec-kit command templates (specify, plan, tasks, implement, analyze, clarify, constitution, checklist, taskstoissues) to properly formatted SKILL.md files
- **New projects**: command files are not installed when `--ai-skills` is used (skills replace commands)
- **Existing repos** (`--here`): pre-existing command files are preserved — no breaking changes
- `pyyaml` dependency (already present) used for YAML frontmatter parsing
- **Unit tests** for `install_ai_skills`, `_get_skills_dir`, and `--ai-skills` CLI validation (51 test cases covering all 18 supported agents)
- **Generic Agent Support**: Added `--ai generic` option for unsupported AI agents ("bring your own agent")
- Requires `--ai-commands-dir <path>` to specify where the agent reads commands from
- Generates Markdown commands with `$ARGUMENTS` format (compatible with most agents)
- Example: `specify init my-project --ai generic --ai-commands-dir .myagent/commands/`
- Enables users to start with Spec Kit immediately while their agent awaits formal support

## [0.0.94] - 2026-02-11

- Adds support for the version command. ([#486](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/486))
- Fixes potential bug with the `create-new-feature.ps1` script that ignores existing feature branches when determining next feature number ([#975](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/975))
- Add graceful fallback and logging for GitHub API rate-limiting during template fetch ([#970](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/970))

## [0.0.21] - 2025-10-21
## [0.0.93] - 2026-02-10
- Fixes [#975](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/975) (thank you [@fgalarraga](https://github.com/fgalarraga)).

- Adds support for VS Code hand-offs and moves prompts to be full-fledged chat modes.
- Adds support for `version` command (addresses [#811](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/811) and [#486](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/486), thank you [@mcasalaina](https://github.com/mcasalaina) and [@dentity007](https://github.com/dentity007)).
- Adds support for rendering the rate limit errors from the CLI when encountered ([#970](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/970), thank you [@psmman](https://github.com/psmman)).
## [0.0.20] - 2025-10-14
### Added
- **Intelligent Branch Naming**: `create-new-feature` scripts now support `--short-name` parameter for custom branch names
- When `--short-name` provided: Uses the custom name directly (cleaned and formatted)
- When omitted: Automatically generates meaningful names using stop word filtering and length-based filtering
- Filters out common stop words (I, want, to, the, for, etc.)
- Removes words shorter than 3 characters (unless they're uppercase acronyms)
- Takes 3-4 most meaningful words from the description
- **Enforces GitHub's 244-byte branch name limit** with automatic truncation and warnings
- Examples:
- "I want to create user authentication" → `001-create-user-authentication`
- "Implement OAuth2 integration for API" → `001-implement-oauth2-integration-api`
- "Fix payment processing bug" → `001-fix-payment-processing`
- Very long descriptions are automatically truncated at word boundaries to stay within limits
- Designed for AI agents to provide semantic short names while maintaining standalone usability
### Changed
- Enhanced help documentation for `create-new-feature.sh` and `create-new-feature.ps1` scripts with examples
- Branch names now validated against GitHub's 244-byte limit with automatic truncation if needed
## [0.0.19] - 2025-10-10
### Added
- Support for CodeBuddy (thank you to [@lispking](https://github.com/lispking) for the contribution).
- You can now see Git-sourced errors in the Specify CLI.
### Changed
- Fixed the path to the constitution in `plan.md` (thank you to [@lyzno1](https://github.com/lyzno1) for spotting).
- Fixed backslash escapes in generated TOML files for Gemini (thank you to [@hsin19](https://github.com/hsin19) for the contribution).
- Implementation command now ensures that the correct ignore files are added (thank you to [@sigent-amazon](https://github.com/sigent-amazon) for the contribution).
## [0.0.18] - 2025-10-06
### Added
- Support for using `.` as a shorthand for current directory in `specify init .` command, equivalent to `--here` flag but more intuitive for users.
- Use the `/speckit.` command prefix to easily discover Spec Kit-related commands.
- Refactor the prompts and templates to simplify their capabilities and how they are tracked. No more polluting things with tests when they are not needed.
- Ensure that tasks are created per user story (simplifies testing and validation).
- Add support for Visual Studio Code prompt shortcuts and automatic script execution.
### Changed
- All command files now prefixed with `speckit.` (e.g., `speckit.specify.md`, `speckit.plan.md`) for better discoverability and differentiation in IDE/CLI command palettes and file explorers
## [0.0.17] - 2025-09-22
### Added
- New `/clarify` command template to surface up to 5 targeted clarification questions for an existing spec and persist answers into a Clarifications section in the spec.
- New `/analyze` command template providing a non-destructive cross-artifact discrepancy and alignment report (spec, clarifications, plan, tasks, constitution) inserted after `/tasks` and before `/implement`.
- Note: Constitution rules are explicitly treated as non-negotiable; any conflict is a CRITICAL finding requiring artifact remediation, not weakening of principles.
## [0.0.16] - 2025-09-22
### Added
- `--force` flag for `init` command to bypass confirmation when using `--here` in a non-empty directory and proceed with merging/overwriting files.

### Added

- Support for Auggie CLI. Thank you [@hungthai1401](https://github.com/hungthai1401) with [#137](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/pull/137).
- Agent folder security notice displayed after project provisioning completion, warning users that some agents may store credentials or auth tokens in their agent folders and recommending adding relevant folders to `.gitignore` to prevent accidental credential leakage.
### Changed
- Warning displayed to ensure that folks are aware that they might need to add their agent folder to `.gitignore`.
- Cleaned up the `check` command output.
## [0.0.12] - 2025-09-21
