+## About Spec Kit and Specify
+
+**GitHub Spec Kit** is a comprehensive toolkit for implementing Spec-Driven Development (SDD) - a methodology that emphasizes creating clear specifications before implementation. The toolkit includes templates, scripts, and workflows that guide development teams through a structured approach to building software.
+
+**Specify CLI** is the command-line interface that bootstraps projects with the Spec Kit framework. It sets up the necessary directory structures, templates, and AI agent integrations to support the Spec-Driven Development workflow.
+
+The toolkit supports multiple AI coding assistants, allowing teams to use their preferred tools while maintaining consistent project structure and development practices.
+
+---
+
+## Adding New Agent Support
+
+This section explains how to add support for new AI agents/assistants to the Specify CLI. Use this guide as a reference when integrating new AI tools into the Spec-Driven Development workflow.
+
+### Overview
+
+Specify supports multiple AI agents by generating agent-specific command files and directory structures when initializing projects. Each agent has its own conventions for:
+
+- **Command file formats** (Markdown, TOML, etc.)
+- **Directory structures** (`.claude/commands/`, `.windsurf/workflows/`, etc.)
+- **Command invocation patterns** (slash commands, CLI tools, etc.)
+- **Argument passing conventions** (`$ARGUMENTS`, `{{args}}`, etc.)
+
+### Current Supported Agents
+
+| Agent | Directory | Format | CLI Tool | Description |
+|-------|-----------|---------|----------|-------------|
+| **Claude Code** | `.claude/commands/` | Markdown | `claude` | Anthropic's Claude Code CLI |
+| **Gemini CLI** | `.gemini/commands/` | TOML | `gemini` | Google's Gemini CLI |
+| **GitHub Copilot** | `.github/prompts/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | GitHub Copilot in VS Code |
+| **Cursor** | `.cursor/commands/` | Markdown | `cursor-agent` | Cursor CLI |
+| **Qwen Code** | `.qwen/commands/` | TOML | `qwen` | Alibaba's Qwen Code CLI |
+| **opencode** | `.opencode/command/` | Markdown | `opencode` | opencode CLI |
+| **Windsurf** | `.windsurf/workflows/` | Markdown | N/A (IDE-based) | Windsurf IDE workflows |
+
+### Step-by-Step Integration Guide
+
+Follow these steps to add a new agent (using Windsurf as an example):
+
+#### 1. Update AI_CHOICES Constant
+
+Add the new agent to the `AI_CHOICES` dictionary in `src/specify_cli/__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+AI_CHOICES = {
+    "copilot": "GitHub Copilot",
+    "claude": "Claude Code", 
+    "gemini": "Gemini CLI",
+    "cursor": "Cursor",
+    "qwen": "Qwen Code",
+    "opencode": "opencode",
+    "windsurf": "Windsurf"  # Add new agent here
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Update CLI Help Text
+
+Update all help text and examples to include the new agent:
+
+- Command option help: `--ai` parameter description
+- Function docstrings and examples
+- Error messages with agent lists
+
+#### 3. Update Release Package Script
+
+Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-release-packages.sh`:
+
+##### Add to ALL_AGENTS array:
+```bash
+ALL_AGENTS=(claude gemini copilot cursor qwen opencode windsurf)
+```
+
+##### Add case statement for directory structure:
+```bash
+case $agent in
+  # ... existing cases ...
+  windsurf)
+    mkdir -p "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows"
+    generate_commands windsurf md "\$ARGUMENTS" "$base_dir/.windsurf/workflows" "$script" ;;
+esac
+```
+
+#### 4. Update Agent Context Scripts
+
+##### Bash script (`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`):
+
+Add file variable:
+```bash
+WINDSURF_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md"
+```
+
+Add to case statement:
+```bash
+case "$AGENT_TYPE" in
+  # ... existing cases ...
+  windsurf) update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf" ;;
+  "") 
+    # ... existing checks ...
+    [ -f "$WINDSURF_FILE" ] && update_agent_file "$WINDSURF_FILE" "Windsurf";
+    # Update default creation condition
+    ;;
+esac
+```
+
+##### PowerShell script (`scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1`):
+
+Add file variable:
+```powershell
+$windsurfFile = Join-Path $repoRoot '.windsurf/rules/specify-rules.md'
+```
+
+Add to switch statement:
+```powershell
+switch ($AgentType) {
+    # ... existing cases ...
+    'windsurf' { Update-AgentFile $windsurfFile 'Windsurf' }
+    '' {
+        foreach ($pair in @(
+            # ... existing pairs ...
+            @{file=$windsurfFile; name='Windsurf'}
+        )) {
+            if (Test-Path $pair.file) { Update-AgentFile $pair.file $pair.name }
+        }
+        # Update default creation condition
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 5. Update CLI Tool Checks (Optional)
+
+For agents that require CLI tools, add checks in the `check()` command and agent validation:
+
+```python
+# In check() command
+tracker.add("windsurf", "Windsurf IDE (optional)")
+windsurf_ok = check_tool_for_tracker("windsurf", "https://windsurf.com/", tracker)
+
+# In init validation (only if CLI tool required)
+elif selected_ai == "windsurf":
+    if not check_tool("windsurf", "Install from: https://windsurf.com/"):
+        console.print("[red]Error:[/red] Windsurf CLI is required for Windsurf projects")
+        agent_tool_missing = True
+```
+
+**Note**: Skip CLI checks for IDE-based agents (Copilot, Windsurf).
+
+## Agent Categories
+
+### CLI-Based Agents
+Require a command-line tool to be installed:
+- **Claude Code**: `claude` CLI
+- **Gemini CLI**: `gemini` CLI  
+- **Cursor**: `cursor-agent` CLI
+- **Qwen Code**: `qwen` CLI
+- **opencode**: `opencode` CLI
+
+### IDE-Based Agents
+Work within integrated development environments:
+- **GitHub Copilot**: Built into VS Code/compatible editors
+- **Windsurf**: Built into Windsurf IDE
+
+## Command File Formats
+
+### Markdown Format
+Used by: Claude, Cursor, opencode, Windsurf
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: "Command description"
+---
+
+Command content with {SCRIPT} and $ARGUMENTS placeholders.
+```
+
+### TOML Format
+Used by: Gemini, Qwen
+
+```toml
+description = "Command description"
+
+prompt = """
+Command content with {SCRIPT} and {{args}} placeholders.
+"""
+```
+
+## Directory Conventions
+
+- **CLI agents**: Usually `.<agent-name>/commands/`
+- **IDE agents**: Follow IDE-specific patterns:
+  - Copilot: `.github/prompts/`
+  - Cursor: `.cursor/commands/`
+  - Windsurf: `.windsurf/workflows/`
+
+## Argument Patterns
+
+Different agents use different argument placeholders:
+- **Markdown/prompt-based**: `$ARGUMENTS`
+- **TOML-based**: `{{args}}`
+- **Script placeholders**: `{SCRIPT}` (replaced with actual script path)
+- **Agent placeholders**: `__AGENT__` (replaced with agent name)
+
+## Testing New Agent Integration
+
+1. **Build test**: Run package creation script locally
+2. **CLI test**: Test `specify init --ai <agent>` command
+3. **File generation**: Verify correct directory structure and files
+4. **Command validation**: Ensure generated commands work with the agent
+5. **Context update**: Test agent context update scripts
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Forgetting update scripts**: Both bash and PowerShell scripts must be updated
+2. **Missing CLI checks**: Only add for agents that actually have CLI tools
+3. **Wrong argument format**: Use correct placeholder format for each agent type
+4. **Directory naming**: Follow agent-specific conventions exactly
+5. **Help text inconsistency**: Update all user-facing text consistently
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+When adding new agents:
+- Consider the agent's native command/workflow patterns
+- Ensure compatibility with the Spec-Driven Development process
+- Document any special requirements or limitations
+- Update this guide with lessons learned
+
+---
+
+*This documentation should be updated whenever new agents are added to maintain accuracy and completeness.*

+  ps: scripts/powershell/check-implementation-prerequisites.ps1 -Json
+---
+
+Given the current feature context, do this:
+
+1. Run `{SCRIPT}` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute.
+
+2. Load and analyze the implementation context:
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read tasks.md for the complete task list and execution plan
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read plan.md for tech stack, architecture, and file structure
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read data-model.md for entities and relationships
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read contracts/ for API specifications and test requirements
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read research.md for technical decisions and constraints
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read quickstart.md for integration scenarios
+
+3. Parse tasks.md structure and extract:
+   - **Task phases**: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, Polish
+   - **Task dependencies**: Sequential vs parallel execution rules
+   - **Task details**: ID, description, file paths, parallel markers [P]
+   - **Execution flow**: Order and dependency requirements
+
+4. Execute implementation following the task plan:
+   - **Phase-by-phase execution**: Complete each phase before moving to the next
+   - **Respect dependencies**: Run sequential tasks in order, parallel tasks [P] can run together  
+   - **Follow TDD approach**: Execute test tasks before their corresponding implementation tasks
+   - **File-based coordination**: Tasks affecting the same files must run sequentially
+   - **Validation checkpoints**: Verify each phase completion before proceeding
+
+5. Implementation execution rules:
+   - **Setup first**: Initialize project structure, dependencies, configuration
+   - **Tests before code**: If you need to write tests for contracts, entities, and integration scenarios
+   - **Core development**: Implement models, services, CLI commands, endpoints
+   - **Integration work**: Database connections, middleware, logging, external services
+   - **Polish and validation**: Unit tests, performance optimization, documentation
+
+6. Progress tracking and error handling:
+   - Report progress after each completed task
+   - Halt execution if any non-parallel task fails
+   - For parallel tasks [P], continue with successful tasks, report failed ones
+   - Provide clear error messages with context for debugging
+   - Suggest next steps if implementation cannot proceed
+   - **IMPORTANT** For completed tasks, make sure to mark the task off as [X] in the tasks file.
+
+7. Completion validation:
+   - Verify all required tasks are completed
+   - Check that implemented features match the original specification
+   - Validate that tests pass and coverage meets requirements
+   - Confirm the implementation follows the technical plan
+   - Report final status with summary of completed work
+
+Note: This command assumes a complete task breakdown exists in tasks.md. If tasks are incomplete or missing, suggest running `/tasks` first to regenerate the task list.

 2. Load `templates/spec-template.md` to understand required sections.
 3. Write the specification to SPEC_FILE using the template structure, replacing placeholders with concrete details derived from the feature description (arguments) while preserving section order and headings.
