 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).
 
-## [0.1.1] - 2026-02-13
+## [0.1.4] - 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)
-
-## [0.1.0] - 2026-01-28
-
-### Added
-
-- **Extension System**: Introduced modular extension architecture for Spec Kit
-  - Extensions are self-contained packages that add commands and functionality without bloating core
-  - Extension manifest schema (`extension.yml`) with validation
-  - Extension registry (`.specify/extensions/.registry`) for tracking installed extensions
-  - Extension manager module (`src/specify_cli/extensions.py`) for installation/removal

-  - Added dependencies: `pyyaml>=6.0`, `packaging>=23.0`
-
-- **Extension Catalog**: Extension discovery and distribution system
-  - Central catalog (`extensions/catalog.json`) for published extensions
-  - Extension catalog manager (`ExtensionCatalog` class) with:
-    - Catalog fetching from GitHub
-    - 1-hour local caching for performance
-    - Search by query, tag, author, or verification status

-### Changed
-
-- Version bumped to 0.1.0 (minor release for new feature)
-
-## [0.0.22] - 2025-11-07
-
-- Support for VS Code/Copilot agents, and moving away from prompts to proper agents with hand-offs.
-- Move to use `AGENTS.md` for Copilot workloads, since it's already supported out-of-the-box.
-- 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
-
-- Fixes [#975](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/975) (thank you [@fgalarraga](https://github.com/fgalarraga)).
-- Adds support for Amp CLI.
-- 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.
-
-## [0.0.15] - 2025-09-21
-
-### Added
-
-- Support for Roo Code.
-
-## [0.0.14] - 2025-09-21

-### Added
-
-- Support for Kilo Code. Thank you [@shahrukhkhan489](https://github.com/shahrukhkhan489) with [#394](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/pull/394).
-- 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
-
-### Changed
-
-- Added additional context for OpenAI Codex users - they need to set an additional environment variable, as described in [#417](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/417).
-
-## [0.0.11] - 2025-09-20
-
-### Added
-
-- Codex CLI support (thank you [@honjo-hiroaki-gtt](https://github.com/honjo-hiroaki-gtt) for the contribution in [#14](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/pull/14))
-- Codex-aware context update tooling (Bash and PowerShell) so feature plans refresh `AGENTS.md` alongside existing assistants without manual edits.
-
-## [0.0.10] - 2025-09-20
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- Addressed [#378](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/issues/378) where a GitHub token may be attached to the request when it was empty.
+- **Qoder CLI detection**: Renamed `AGENT_CONFIG` key from `"qoder"` to `"qodercli"` to match the actual executable name, fixing `specify check` and `specify init --ai` detection failures

-- Windsurf IDE support as additional AI assistant option (thank you [@raedkit](https://github.com/raedkit) for the work in [#151](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/pull/151))
+- **Generic Agent Support**: Added `--ai generic` option for unsupported AI agents ("bring your own agent")
-- GitHub token support for API requests to handle corporate environments and rate limiting (contributed by [@zryfish](https://github.com/@zryfish) in [#243](https://github.com/github/spec-kit/pull/243))
+  - 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
