docs: update RFC, user guide, and API reference for multi-catalog support
- RFC: replace FUTURE FEATURE section with full implementation docs, add catalog stack resolution order, config file examples, merge conflict resolution, and install_allowed behavior - EXTENSION-USER-GUIDE.md: add multi-catalog section with CLI examples for catalogs/catalog-add/catalog-remove, update catalog config docs - EXTENSION-API-REFERENCE.md: add CatalogEntry class docs, update ExtensionCatalog docs with new methods and result annotations, add catalog CLI commands (catalogs, catalog add, catalog remove) Also fix extension_catalogs command to correctly show "Using built-in default catalog stack" when config file exists but has empty catalogs Co-authored-by: mnriem <15701806+mnriem@users.noreply.github.com>

## Finding Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: By default, `specify extension search` uses your organization's catalog (`catalog.json`). If the catalog is empty, you won't see any results. See [Extension Catalogs](#extension-catalogs) to learn how to populate your catalog from the community reference catalog.
|
||||
`specify extension search` searches **all active catalogs** simultaneously, including the community catalog by default. Results are annotated with their source catalog and install status.

## Extension Catalogs
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
Spec Kit uses a **catalog stack** — an ordered list of catalogs searched simultaneously. By default, two catalogs are active:
|
||||
|
||||
| Priority | Catalog | Install Allowed | Purpose |
|
||||
|----------|---------|-----------------|---------|
|
||||
| 1 | `catalog.json` (org-approved) | ✅ Yes | Extensions your org approves for installation |
|
||||
| 2 | `catalog.community.json` (community) | ❌ No (discovery only) | Browse community extensions |
|
||||
|
||||
### Listing Active Catalogs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
specify extension catalogs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding a Catalog (Project-scoped)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add an internal catalog that allows installs
|
||||
specify extension catalog add \
|
||||
--name "internal" \
|
||||
--priority 2 \
|
||||
--install-allowed \
|
||||
https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Add a discovery-only catalog
|
||||
specify extension catalog add \
|
||||
--name "partner" \
|
||||
--priority 5 \
|
||||
https://partner.example.com/spec-kit/catalog.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This creates or updates `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Removing a Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
specify extension catalog remove internal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Config File
|
||||
|
||||
You can also edit `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml` directly:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
catalogs:
|
||||
- name: "org-approved"
|
||||
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/extensions/catalog.json"
|
||||
priority: 1
|
||||
install_allowed: true
|
||||
|
||||
- name: "internal"
|
||||
url: "https://internal.company.com/spec-kit/catalog.json"
|
||||
priority: 2
|
||||
install_allowed: true
|
||||
|
||||
- name: "community"
|
||||
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/spec-kit/main/extensions/catalog.community.json"
|
||||
priority: 3
|
||||
install_allowed: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A user-level equivalent lives at `~/.specify/extension-catalogs.yml`. Project-level config takes full precedence when present.

#### 3. Configure Your Environment
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option A: Environment variable (recommended for CI/CD)
|
||||
##### Option A: Catalog stack config file (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.specify/extension-catalogs.yml` in your project:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
catalogs:
|
||||
- name: "org-approved"
|
||||
url: "https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json"
|
||||
priority: 1
|
||||
install_allowed: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or use the CLI:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
specify extension catalog add \
|
||||
--name "org-approved" \
|
||||
--install-allowed \
|
||||
https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json

```
|

|

##### Option B: Environment variable (recommended for CI/CD, single-catalog)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# In ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or CI pipeline
|
||||
export SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Option B: Per-project configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Create `.env` or set in your shell before running spec-kit commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
SPECKIT_CATALOG_URL="https://your-org.com/spec-kit/catalog.json" specify extension search
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Verify Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List active catalogs
|
||||
specify extension catalogs
|
||||
|
||||
# Search should now show your catalog's extensions
