+
+## 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.
+
+---
+
+## General practices
+
+- Any changes to `__init__.py` for the Specify CLI require a version rev in `pyproject.toml` and addition of entries to `CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+## 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 |
+| **CodeBuddy** | `.codebuddy/commands/` | Markdown | `codebuddy` | CodeBuddy |
+| **Amazon Q Developer CLI** | `.amazonq/prompts/` | Markdown | `q` | Amazon Q Developer CLI |
+
+### 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",
+    "codebuddy": "CodeBuddy"
+    "q": "Amazon Q Developer CLI"
+}
+```
+
+Also update the `agent_folder_map` in the same file to include the new agent's folder for the security notice:
+
+```python
+agent_folder_map = {
+    "claude": ".claude/",
+    "gemini": ".gemini/",
+    "cursor": ".cursor/",
+    "qwen": ".qwen/",
+    "opencode": ".opencode/",
+    "codex": ".codex/",
+    "windsurf": ".windsurf/",
+    "kilocode": ".kilocode/",
+    "auggie": ".auggie/",
+    "copilot": ".github/",
+    "q": ".amazonq/",
+    "codebuddy": ".codebuddy/"
+}
+```
+
+#### 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 README Documentation
+
+Update the **Supported AI Agents** section in `README.md` to include the new agent:
+
+- Add the new agent to the table with appropriate support level (Full/Partial)
+- Include the agent's official website link
+- Add any relevant notes about the agent's implementation
+- Ensure the table formatting remains aligned and consistent
+
+#### 4. 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 q)
+```
+
+##### 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 GitHub Release Script
+
+Modify `.github/workflows/scripts/create-github-release.sh` to include the new agent's packages:
+
+```bash
+gh release create "$VERSION" \
+  # ... existing packages ...
+  .genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-sh-"$VERSION".zip \
+  .genreleases/spec-kit-template-windsurf-ps-"$VERSION".zip \
+  # Add new agent packages here
+```
+
+#### 5. Update Agent Context Scripts
+
+##### Bash script (`scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`):
+
+Add file variable:
+```bash
+WINDSURF_FILE="$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
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 6. 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
+- **CodeBuddy**: `codebuddy` 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, Amazon Q Developer
+
+```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.*

+## [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
+

+## AI contributions in Spec Kit
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>
+> If you are using **any kind of AI assistance** to contribute to Spec Kit,
+> it must be disclosed in the pull request or issue.
+
+We welcome and encourage the use of AI tools to help improve Spec Kit! Many valuable contributions have been enhanced with AI assistance for code generation, issue detection, and feature definition.
+
+That being said, if you are using any kind of AI assistance (e.g., agents, ChatGPT) while contributing to Spec Kit,
+**this must be disclosed in the pull request or issue**, along with the extent to which AI assistance was used (e.g., documentation comments vs. code generation).
+
+If your PR responses or comments are being generated by an AI, disclose that as well.
+
+As an exception, trivial spacing or typo fixes don't need to be disclosed, so long as the changes are limited to small parts of the code or short phrases.
+
+An example disclosure:
+
+> This PR was written primarily by GitHub Copilot.
+
+Or a more detailed disclosure:
+
+> I consulted ChatGPT to understand the codebase but the solution
+> was fully authored manually by myself.
+
+Failure to disclose this is first and foremost rude to the human operators on the other end of the pull request, but it also makes it difficult to
+determine how much scrutiny to apply to the contribution.
+
+In a perfect world, AI assistance would produce equal or higher quality work than any human. That isn't the world we live in today, and in most cases
+where human supervision or expertise is not in the loop, it's generating code that cannot be reasonably maintained or evolved.
+
+### What we're looking for
+
+When submitting AI-assisted contributions, please ensure they include:
+
+- **Clear disclosure of AI use** - You are transparent about AI use and degree to which you're using it for the contribution
+- **Human understanding and testing** - You've personally tested the changes and understand what they do
+- **Clear rationale** - You can explain why the change is needed and how it fits within Spec Kit's goals  
+- **Concrete evidence** - Include test cases, scenarios, or examples that demonstrate the improvement
+- **Your own analysis** - Share your thoughts on the end-to-end developer experience
+
+### What we'll close
+
+We reserve the right to close contributions that appear to be:
+
+- Untested changes submitted without verification
+- Generic suggestions that don't address specific Spec Kit needs
+- Bulk submissions that show no human review or understanding
+
+### Guidelines for success
+
+The key is demonstrating that you understand and have validated your proposed changes. If a maintainer can easily tell that a contribution was generated entirely by AI without human input or testing, it likely needs more work before submission.
+
+Contributors who consistently submit low-effort AI-generated changes may be restricted from further contributions at the maintainers' discretion.
+
+Please be respectful to maintainers and disclose AI assistance.

 ### 1. Install Specify
 
-Initialize your project depending on the coding agent you're using:
+Choose your preferred installation method:
+
+#### Option 1: Persistent Installation (Recommended)
+
+Install once and use everywhere:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git
+```
+
+Then use the tool directly:
+
+```bash
+specify init <PROJECT_NAME>
+specify check
+```
+
+#### Option 2: One-time Usage
+
+Run directly without installing:
 
 ```bash
 uvx --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git specify init <PROJECT_NAME>
 ```
 
+**Benefits of persistent installation:**
+
+- Tool stays installed and available in PATH
+- No need to create shell aliases
+- Better tool management with `uv tool list`, `uv tool upgrade`, `uv tool uninstall`
+- Cleaner shell configuration

+# Update agent context files with information from plan.md
+#
+# This script maintains AI agent context files by parsing feature specifications 
+# and updating agent-specific configuration files with project information.
+#
+# MAIN FUNCTIONS:
+# 1. Environment Validation
+#    - Verifies git repository structure and branch information
+#    - Checks for required plan.md files and templates
+#    - Validates file permissions and accessibility
+#
+# 2. Plan Data Extraction
+#    - Parses plan.md files to extract project metadata
+#    - Identifies language/version, frameworks, databases, and project types
+#    - Handles missing or incomplete specification data gracefully
+#
+# 3. Agent File Management
+#    - Creates new agent context files from templates when needed
+#    - Updates existing agent files with new project information
+#    - Preserves manual additions and custom configurations
+#    - Supports multiple AI agent formats and directory structures
+#
+# 4. Content Generation
+#    - Generates language-specific build/test commands
+#    - Creates appropriate project directory structures
+#    - Updates technology stacks and recent changes sections
+#    - Maintains consistent formatting and timestamps
+#
+# 5. Multi-Agent Support
+#    - Handles agent-specific file paths and naming conventions
+#    - Supports: Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Qwen, opencode, Codex, Windsurf, Kilo Code, Auggie CLI, or Amazon Q Developer CLI
+#    - Can update single agents or all existing agent files
+#    - Creates default Claude file if no agent files exist
+#
+# Usage: ./update-agent-context.sh [agent_type]
+# Agent types: claude|gemini|copilot|cursor|qwen|opencode|codex|windsurf|kilocode|auggie|q
+# Leave empty to update all existing agent files

+.SYNOPSIS
+Update agent context files with information from plan.md (PowerShell version)
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+Mirrors the behavior of scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh:
+ 1. Environment Validation
+ 2. Plan Data Extraction
+ 3. Agent File Management (create from template or update existing)
+ 4. Content Generation (technology stack, recent changes, timestamp)
+ 5. Multi-Agent Support (claude, gemini, copilot, cursor, qwen, opencode, codex, windsurf, kilocode, auggie, roo, q)
+
+.PARAMETER AgentType
+Optional agent key to update a single agent. If omitted, updates all existing agent files (creating a default Claude file if none exist).
+
+.EXAMPLE
+./update-agent-context.ps1 -AgentType claude
+
+.EXAMPLE
+./update-agent-context.ps1   # Updates all existing agent files

+
+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Goal
+
+Identify inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across the three core artifacts (`spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`) before implementation. This command MUST run only after `/tasks` has successfully produced a complete `tasks.md`.
+
+## Operating Constraints
+
+**STRICTLY READ-ONLY**: Do **not** modify any files. Output a structured analysis report. Offer an optional remediation plan (user must explicitly approve before any follow-up editing commands would be invoked manually).
+
+**Constitution Authority**: The project constitution (`/memory/constitution.md`) is **non-negotiable** within this analysis scope. Constitution conflicts are automatically CRITICAL and require adjustment of the spec, plan, or tasks—not dilution, reinterpretation, or silent ignoring of the principle. If a principle itself needs to change, that must occur in a separate, explicit constitution update outside `/analyze`.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### 1. Initialize Analysis Context
+
+Run `{SCRIPT}` once from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. Derive absolute paths:
+
+- SPEC = FEATURE_DIR/spec.md
+- PLAN = FEATURE_DIR/plan.md
+- TASKS = FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md
+
+Abort with an error message if any required file is missing (instruct the user to run missing prerequisite command).
+For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+### 2. Load Artifacts (Progressive Disclosure)
+
+Load only the minimal necessary context from each artifact:
+
+**From spec.md:**
+
+- Overview/Context
+- Functional Requirements
+- Non-Functional Requirements
+- User Stories
+- Edge Cases (if present)
+
+**From plan.md:**
+
+- Architecture/stack choices
+- Data Model references
+- Phases
+- Technical constraints
+
+**From tasks.md:**
+
+- Task IDs
+- Descriptions
+- Phase grouping
+- Parallel markers [P]
+- Referenced file paths
+
+**From constitution:**
+
+- Load `/memory/constitution.md` for principle validation
+
+### 3. Build Semantic Models
+
+Create internal representations (do not include raw artifacts in output):
+
+- **Requirements inventory**: Each functional + non-functional requirement with a stable key (derive slug based on imperative phrase; e.g., "User can upload file" → `user-can-upload-file`)
+- **User story/action inventory**: Discrete user actions with acceptance criteria
+- **Task coverage mapping**: Map each task to one or more requirements or stories (inference by keyword / explicit reference patterns like IDs or key phrases)
+- **Constitution rule set**: Extract principle names and MUST/SHOULD normative statements
+
+### 4. Detection Passes (Token-Efficient Analysis)
+
+Focus on high-signal findings. Limit to 50 findings total; aggregate remainder in overflow summary.
+
+#### A. Duplication Detection
+
+- Identify near-duplicate requirements
+- Mark lower-quality phrasing for consolidation
+
+#### B. Ambiguity Detection
+
+- Flag vague adjectives (fast, scalable, secure, intuitive, robust) lacking measurable criteria
+- Flag unresolved placeholders (TODO, TKTK, ???, `<placeholder>`, etc.)
+
+#### C. Underspecification
+
+- Requirements with verbs but missing object or measurable outcome
+- User stories missing acceptance criteria alignment
+- Tasks referencing files or components not defined in spec/plan
+
+#### D. Constitution Alignment
+
+- Any requirement or plan element conflicting with a MUST principle
+- Missing mandated sections or quality gates from constitution
+
+#### E. Coverage Gaps
+
+- Requirements with zero associated tasks
+- Tasks with no mapped requirement/story
+- Non-functional requirements not reflected in tasks (e.g., performance, security)
+
+#### F. Inconsistency
+
+- Terminology drift (same concept named differently across files)
+- Data entities referenced in plan but absent in spec (or vice versa)
+- Task ordering contradictions (e.g., integration tasks before foundational setup tasks without dependency note)
+- Conflicting requirements (e.g., one requires Next.js while other specifies Vue)
+
+### 5. Severity Assignment
+
+Use this heuristic to prioritize findings:
+
+- **CRITICAL**: Violates constitution MUST, missing core spec artifact, or requirement with zero coverage that blocks baseline functionality
+- **HIGH**: Duplicate or conflicting requirement, ambiguous security/performance attribute, untestable acceptance criterion
+- **MEDIUM**: Terminology drift, missing non-functional task coverage, underspecified edge case
+- **LOW**: Style/wording improvements, minor redundancy not affecting execution order
+
+### 6. Produce Compact Analysis Report
+
+Output a Markdown report (no file writes) with the following structure:
+
+## Specification Analysis Report
+
+| ID | Category | Severity | Location(s) | Summary | Recommendation |
+|----|----------|----------|-------------|---------|----------------|
+| A1 | Duplication | HIGH | spec.md:L120-134 | Two similar requirements ... | Merge phrasing; keep clearer version |
+
+(Add one row per finding; generate stable IDs prefixed by category initial.)
+
+**Coverage Summary Table:**
+
+| Requirement Key | Has Task? | Task IDs | Notes |
+|-----------------|-----------|----------|-------|
+
+**Constitution Alignment Issues:** (if any)
+
+**Unmapped Tasks:** (if any)
+
+**Metrics:**
+
+- Total Requirements
+- Total Tasks
+- Coverage % (requirements with >=1 task)
+- Ambiguity Count
+- Duplication Count
+- Critical Issues Count
+
+### 7. Provide Next Actions
+
+At end of report, output a concise Next Actions block:
+
+- If CRITICAL issues exist: Recommend resolving before `/implement`
+- If only LOW/MEDIUM: User may proceed, but provide improvement suggestions
+- Provide explicit command suggestions: e.g., "Run /specify with refinement", "Run /plan to adjust architecture", "Manually edit tasks.md to add coverage for 'performance-metrics'"
+
+### 8. Offer Remediation
+
+Ask the user: "Would you like me to suggest concrete remediation edits for the top N issues?" (Do NOT apply them automatically.)
+
+## Operating Principles
+
+### Context Efficiency
+
+- **Minimal high-signal tokens**: Focus on actionable findings, not exhaustive documentation
+- **Progressive disclosure**: Load artifacts incrementally; don't dump all content into analysis
+- **Token-efficient output**: Limit findings table to 50 rows; summarize overflow
+- **Deterministic results**: Rerunning without changes should produce consistent IDs and counts
+
+### Analysis Guidelines
+
+- **NEVER modify files** (this is read-only analysis)
+- **NEVER hallucinate missing sections** (if absent, report them accurately)
+- **Prioritize constitution violations** (these are always CRITICAL)
+- **Use examples over exhaustive rules** (cite specific instances, not generic patterns)
+- **Report zero issues gracefully** (emit success report with coverage statistics)

+
+## Checklist Purpose: "Unit Tests for English"
+
+**CRITICAL CONCEPT**: Checklists are **UNIT TESTS FOR REQUIREMENTS WRITING** - they validate the quality, clarity, and completeness of requirements in a given domain.
+
+**NOT for verification/testing**:
+- ❌ NOT "Verify the button clicks correctly"
+- ❌ NOT "Test error handling works"
+- ❌ NOT "Confirm the API returns 200"
+- ❌ NOT checking if code/implementation matches the spec
+
+**FOR requirements quality validation**:
+- ✅ "Are visual hierarchy requirements defined for all card types?" (completeness)
+- ✅ "Is 'prominent display' quantified with specific sizing/positioning?" (clarity)
+- ✅ "Are hover state requirements consistent across all interactive elements?" (consistency)
+- ✅ "Are accessibility requirements defined for keyboard navigation?" (coverage)
+- ✅ "Does the spec define what happens when logo image fails to load?" (edge cases)
+
+**Metaphor**: If your spec is code written in English, the checklist is its unit test suite. You're testing whether the requirements are well-written, complete, unambiguous, and ready for implementation - NOT whether the implementation works.
+
+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+1. **Setup**: Run `{SCRIPT}` from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list.
+   - All file paths must be absolute.
+   - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Clarify intent (dynamic)**: Derive up to THREE initial contextual clarifying questions (no pre-baked catalog). They MUST:
+   - Be generated from the user's phrasing + extracted signals from spec/plan/tasks
+   - Only ask about information that materially changes checklist content
+   - Be skipped individually if already unambiguous in `$ARGUMENTS`
+   - Prefer precision over breadth
+
+   Generation algorithm:
+   1. Extract signals: feature domain keywords (e.g., auth, latency, UX, API), risk indicators ("critical", "must", "compliance"), stakeholder hints ("QA", "review", "security team"), and explicit deliverables ("a11y", "rollback", "contracts").
+   2. Cluster signals into candidate focus areas (max 4) ranked by relevance.
+   3. Identify probable audience & timing (author, reviewer, QA, release) if not explicit.
+   4. Detect missing dimensions: scope breadth, depth/rigor, risk emphasis, exclusion boundaries, measurable acceptance criteria.
+   5. Formulate questions chosen from these archetypes:
+      - Scope refinement (e.g., "Should this include integration touchpoints with X and Y or stay limited to local module correctness?")
+      - Risk prioritization (e.g., "Which of these potential risk areas should receive mandatory gating checks?")
+      - Depth calibration (e.g., "Is this a lightweight pre-commit sanity list or a formal release gate?")
+      - Audience framing (e.g., "Will this be used by the author only or peers during PR review?")
+      - Boundary exclusion (e.g., "Should we explicitly exclude performance tuning items this round?")
+      - Scenario class gap (e.g., "No recovery flows detected—are rollback / partial failure paths in scope?")
+
+   Question formatting rules:
+   - If presenting options, generate a compact table with columns: Option | Candidate | Why It Matters
+   - Limit to A–E options maximum; omit table if a free-form answer is clearer
+   - Never ask the user to restate what they already said
+   - Avoid speculative categories (no hallucination). If uncertain, ask explicitly: "Confirm whether X belongs in scope."
+
+   Defaults when interaction impossible:
+   - Depth: Standard
+   - Audience: Reviewer (PR) if code-related; Author otherwise
+   - Focus: Top 2 relevance clusters
+
+   Output the questions (label Q1/Q2/Q3). After answers: if ≥2 scenario classes (Alternate / Exception / Recovery / Non-Functional domain) remain unclear, you MAY ask up to TWO more targeted follow‑ups (Q4/Q5) with a one-line justification each (e.g., "Unresolved recovery path risk"). Do not exceed five total questions. Skip escalation if user explicitly declines more.
+
+3. **Understand user request**: Combine `$ARGUMENTS` + clarifying answers:
+   - Derive checklist theme (e.g., security, review, deploy, ux)
+   - Consolidate explicit must-have items mentioned by user
+   - Map focus selections to category scaffolding
+   - Infer any missing context from spec/plan/tasks (do NOT hallucinate)
+
+4. **Load feature context**: Read from FEATURE_DIR:
+   - spec.md: Feature requirements and scope
+   - plan.md (if exists): Technical details, dependencies
+   - tasks.md (if exists): Implementation tasks
+   
+   **Context Loading Strategy**:
+   - Load only necessary portions relevant to active focus areas (avoid full-file dumping)
+   - Prefer summarizing long sections into concise scenario/requirement bullets
+   - Use progressive disclosure: add follow-on retrieval only if gaps detected
+   - If source docs are large, generate interim summary items instead of embedding raw text
+
+5. **Generate checklist** - Create "Unit Tests for Requirements":
+   - Create `FEATURE_DIR/checklists/` directory if it doesn't exist
+   - Generate unique checklist filename:
+     - Use short, descriptive name based on domain (e.g., `ux.md`, `api.md`, `security.md`)
+     - Format: `[domain].md` 
+     - If file exists, append to existing file
+   - Number items sequentially starting from CHK001
+   - Each `/speckit.checklist` run creates a NEW file (never overwrites existing checklists)
+
+   **CORE PRINCIPLE - Test the Requirements, Not the Implementation**:
+   Every checklist item MUST evaluate the REQUIREMENTS THEMSELVES for:
+   - **Completeness**: Are all necessary requirements present?
+   - **Clarity**: Are requirements unambiguous and specific?
+   - **Consistency**: Do requirements align with each other?
+   - **Measurability**: Can requirements be objectively verified?
+   - **Coverage**: Are all scenarios/edge cases addressed?
+   
+   **Category Structure** - Group items by requirement quality dimensions:
+   - **Requirement Completeness** (Are all necessary requirements documented?)
+   - **Requirement Clarity** (Are requirements specific and unambiguous?)
+   - **Requirement Consistency** (Do requirements align without conflicts?)
+   - **Acceptance Criteria Quality** (Are success criteria measurable?)
+   - **Scenario Coverage** (Are all flows/cases addressed?)
+   - **Edge Case Coverage** (Are boundary conditions defined?)
+   - **Non-Functional Requirements** (Performance, Security, Accessibility, etc. - are they specified?)
+   - **Dependencies & Assumptions** (Are they documented and validated?)
+   - **Ambiguities & Conflicts** (What needs clarification?)
+   
+   **HOW TO WRITE CHECKLIST ITEMS - "Unit Tests for English"**:
+   
+   ❌ **WRONG** (Testing implementation):
+   - "Verify landing page displays 3 episode cards"
+   - "Test hover states work on desktop"
+   - "Confirm logo click navigates home"
+   
+   ✅ **CORRECT** (Testing requirements quality):
+   - "Are the exact number and layout of featured episodes specified?" [Completeness]
+   - "Is 'prominent display' quantified with specific sizing/positioning?" [Clarity]
+   - "Are hover state requirements consistent across all interactive elements?" [Consistency]
+   - "Are keyboard navigation requirements defined for all interactive UI?" [Coverage]
+   - "Is the fallback behavior specified when logo image fails to load?" [Edge Cases]
+   - "Are loading states defined for asynchronous episode data?" [Completeness]
+   - "Does the spec define visual hierarchy for competing UI elements?" [Clarity]
+   
+   **ITEM STRUCTURE**:
+   Each item should follow this pattern:
+   - Question format asking about requirement quality
+   - Focus on what's WRITTEN (or not written) in the spec/plan
+   - Include quality dimension in brackets [Completeness/Clarity/Consistency/etc.]
+   - Reference spec section `[Spec §X.Y]` when checking existing requirements
+   - Use `[Gap]` marker when checking for missing requirements
+   
+   **EXAMPLES BY QUALITY DIMENSION**:
+   
+   Completeness:
+   - "Are error handling requirements defined for all API failure modes? [Gap]"
+   - "Are accessibility requirements specified for all interactive elements? [Completeness]"
+   - "Are mobile breakpoint requirements defined for responsive layouts? [Gap]"
+   
+   Clarity:
+   - "Is 'fast loading' quantified with specific timing thresholds? [Clarity, Spec §NFR-2]"
+   - "Are 'related episodes' selection criteria explicitly defined? [Clarity, Spec §FR-5]"
+   - "Is 'prominent' defined with measurable visual properties? [Ambiguity, Spec §FR-4]"
+   
+   Consistency:
+   - "Do navigation requirements align across all pages? [Consistency, Spec §FR-10]"
+   - "Are card component requirements consistent between landing and detail pages? [Consistency]"
+   
+   Coverage:
+   - "Are requirements defined for zero-state scenarios (no episodes)? [Coverage, Edge Case]"
+   - "Are concurrent user interaction scenarios addressed? [Coverage, Gap]"
+   - "Are requirements specified for partial data loading failures? [Coverage, Exception Flow]"
+   
+   Measurability:
+   - "Are visual hierarchy requirements measurable/testable? [Acceptance Criteria, Spec §FR-1]"
+   - "Can 'balanced visual weight' be objectively verified? [Measurability, Spec §FR-2]"
+
+   **Scenario Classification & Coverage** (Requirements Quality Focus):
+   - Check if requirements exist for: Primary, Alternate, Exception/Error, Recovery, Non-Functional scenarios
+   - For each scenario class, ask: "Are [scenario type] requirements complete, clear, and consistent?"
+   - If scenario class missing: "Are [scenario type] requirements intentionally excluded or missing? [Gap]"
+   - Include resilience/rollback when state mutation occurs: "Are rollback requirements defined for migration failures? [Gap]"
+
+   **Traceability Requirements**:
+   - MINIMUM: ≥80% of items MUST include at least one traceability reference
+   - Each item should reference: spec section `[Spec §X.Y]`, or use markers: `[Gap]`, `[Ambiguity]`, `[Conflict]`, `[Assumption]`
+   - If no ID system exists: "Is a requirement & acceptance criteria ID scheme established? [Traceability]"
+
+   **Surface & Resolve Issues** (Requirements Quality Problems):
+   Ask questions about the requirements themselves:
+   - Ambiguities: "Is the term 'fast' quantified with specific metrics? [Ambiguity, Spec §NFR-1]"
+   - Conflicts: "Do navigation requirements conflict between §FR-10 and §FR-10a? [Conflict]"
+   - Assumptions: "Is the assumption of 'always available podcast API' validated? [Assumption]"
+   - Dependencies: "Are external podcast API requirements documented? [Dependency, Gap]"
+   - Missing definitions: "Is 'visual hierarchy' defined with measurable criteria? [Gap]"
+
+   **Content Consolidation**:
+   - Soft cap: If raw candidate items > 40, prioritize by risk/impact
+   - Merge near-duplicates checking the same requirement aspect
+   - If >5 low-impact edge cases, create one item: "Are edge cases X, Y, Z addressed in requirements? [Coverage]"
+
+   **🚫 ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED** - These make it an implementation test, not a requirements test:
+   - ❌ Any item starting with "Verify", "Test", "Confirm", "Check" + implementation behavior
+   - ❌ References to code execution, user actions, system behavior
+   - ❌ "Displays correctly", "works properly", "functions as expected"
+   - ❌ "Click", "navigate", "render", "load", "execute"
+   - ❌ Test cases, test plans, QA procedures
+   - ❌ Implementation details (frameworks, APIs, algorithms)
+   
+   **✅ REQUIRED PATTERNS** - These test requirements quality:
+   - ✅ "Are [requirement type] defined/specified/documented for [scenario]?"
+   - ✅ "Is [vague term] quantified/clarified with specific criteria?"
+   - ✅ "Are requirements consistent between [section A] and [section B]?"
+   - ✅ "Can [requirement] be objectively measured/verified?"
+   - ✅ "Are [edge cases/scenarios] addressed in requirements?"
+   - ✅ "Does the spec define [missing aspect]?"
+
+6. **Structure Reference**: Generate the checklist following the canonical template in `templates/checklist-template.md` for title, meta section, category headings, and ID formatting. If template is unavailable, use: H1 title, purpose/created meta lines, `##` category sections containing `- [ ] CHK### <requirement item>` lines with globally incrementing IDs starting at CHK001.
+
+7. **Report**: Output full path to created checklist, item count, and remind user that each run creates a new file. Summarize:
+   - Focus areas selected
+   - Depth level
+   - Actor/timing
+   - Any explicit user-specified must-have items incorporated
+
+**Important**: Each `/speckit.checklist` command invocation creates a checklist file using short, descriptive names unless file already exists. This allows:
+
+- Multiple checklists of different types (e.g., `ux.md`, `test.md`, `security.md`)
+- Simple, memorable filenames that indicate checklist purpose
+- Easy identification and navigation in the `checklists/` folder
+
+To avoid clutter, use descriptive types and clean up obsolete checklists when done.
+
+## Example Checklist Types & Sample Items
+
+**UX Requirements Quality:** `ux.md`
+
+Sample items (testing the requirements, NOT the implementation):
+- "Are visual hierarchy requirements defined with measurable criteria? [Clarity, Spec §FR-1]"
+- "Is the number and positioning of UI elements explicitly specified? [Completeness, Spec §FR-1]"
+- "Are interaction state requirements (hover, focus, active) consistently defined? [Consistency]"
+- "Are accessibility requirements specified for all interactive elements? [Coverage, Gap]"
+- "Is fallback behavior defined when images fail to load? [Edge Case, Gap]"
+- "Can 'prominent display' be objectively measured? [Measurability, Spec §FR-4]"
+
+**API Requirements Quality:** `api.md`
+
+Sample items:
+- "Are error response formats specified for all failure scenarios? [Completeness]"
+- "Are rate limiting requirements quantified with specific thresholds? [Clarity]"
+- "Are authentication requirements consistent across all endpoints? [Consistency]"
+- "Are retry/timeout requirements defined for external dependencies? [Coverage, Gap]"
+- "Is versioning strategy documented in requirements? [Gap]"
+
+**Performance Requirements Quality:** `performance.md`
+
+Sample items:
+- "Are performance requirements quantified with specific metrics? [Clarity]"
+- "Are performance targets defined for all critical user journeys? [Coverage]"
+- "Are performance requirements under different load conditions specified? [Completeness]"
+- "Can performance requirements be objectively measured? [Measurability]"
+- "Are degradation requirements defined for high-load scenarios? [Edge Case, Gap]"
+
+**Security Requirements Quality:** `security.md`
+
+Sample items:
+- "Are authentication requirements specified for all protected resources? [Coverage]"
+- "Are data protection requirements defined for sensitive information? [Completeness]"
+- "Is the threat model documented and requirements aligned to it? [Traceability]"
+- "Are security requirements consistent with compliance obligations? [Consistency]"
+- "Are security failure/breach response requirements defined? [Gap, Exception Flow]"
+
+## Anti-Examples: What NOT To Do
+
+**❌ WRONG - These test implementation, not requirements:**
+
+```markdown
+- [ ] CHK001 - Verify landing page displays 3 episode cards [Spec §FR-001]
+- [ ] CHK002 - Test hover states work correctly on desktop [Spec §FR-003]
+- [ ] CHK003 - Confirm logo click navigates to home page [Spec §FR-010]
+- [ ] CHK004 - Check that related episodes section shows 3-5 items [Spec §FR-005]
+```
+
+**✅ CORRECT - These test requirements quality:**
+
+```markdown
+- [ ] CHK001 - Are the number and layout of featured episodes explicitly specified? [Completeness, Spec §FR-001]
+- [ ] CHK002 - Are hover state requirements consistently defined for all interactive elements? [Consistency, Spec §FR-003]
+- [ ] CHK003 - Are navigation requirements clear for all clickable brand elements? [Clarity, Spec §FR-010]
+- [ ] CHK004 - Is the selection criteria for related episodes documented? [Gap, Spec §FR-005]
+- [ ] CHK005 - Are loading state requirements defined for asynchronous episode data? [Gap]
+- [ ] CHK006 - Can "visual hierarchy" requirements be objectively measured? [Measurability, Spec §FR-001]
+```
+
+**Key Differences:**
+- Wrong: Tests if the system works correctly
+- Correct: Tests if the requirements are written correctly
+- Wrong: Verification of behavior
+- Correct: Validation of requirement quality
+- Wrong: "Does it do X?" 
+- Correct: "Is X clearly specified?"

+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Outline
+
+Goal: Detect and reduce ambiguity or missing decision points in the active feature specification and record the clarifications directly in the spec file.
+
+Note: This clarification workflow is expected to run (and be completed) BEFORE invoking `/speckit.plan`. If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases.
+
+Execution steps:
+
+1. Run `{SCRIPT}` from repo root **once** (combined `--json --paths-only` mode / `-Json -PathsOnly`). Parse minimal JSON payload fields:
+   - `FEATURE_DIR`
+   - `FEATURE_SPEC`
+   - (Optionally capture `IMPL_PLAN`, `TASKS` for future chained flows.)
+   - If JSON parsing fails, abort and instruct user to re-run `/speckit.specify` or verify feature branch environment.
+   - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. Load the current spec file. Perform a structured ambiguity & coverage scan using this taxonomy. For each category, mark status: Clear / Partial / Missing. Produce an internal coverage map used for prioritization (do not output raw map unless no questions will be asked).
+
+   Functional Scope & Behavior:
+   - Core user goals & success criteria
+   - Explicit out-of-scope declarations
+   - User roles / personas differentiation
+
+   Domain & Data Model:
+   - Entities, attributes, relationships
+   - Identity & uniqueness rules
+   - Lifecycle/state transitions
+   - Data volume / scale assumptions
+
+   Interaction & UX Flow:
+   - Critical user journeys / sequences
+   - Error/empty/loading states
+   - Accessibility or localization notes
+
+   Non-Functional Quality Attributes:
+   - Performance (latency, throughput targets)
+   - Scalability (horizontal/vertical, limits)
+   - Reliability & availability (uptime, recovery expectations)
+   - Observability (logging, metrics, tracing signals)
+   - Security & privacy (authN/Z, data protection, threat assumptions)
+   - Compliance / regulatory constraints (if any)
+
+   Integration & External Dependencies:
+   - External services/APIs and failure modes
+   - Data import/export formats
+   - Protocol/versioning assumptions
+
+   Edge Cases & Failure Handling:
+   - Negative scenarios
+   - Rate limiting / throttling
+   - Conflict resolution (e.g., concurrent edits)
+
+   Constraints & Tradeoffs:
+   - Technical constraints (language, storage, hosting)
+   - Explicit tradeoffs or rejected alternatives
+
+   Terminology & Consistency:
+   - Canonical glossary terms
+   - Avoided synonyms / deprecated terms
+
+   Completion Signals:
+   - Acceptance criteria testability
+   - Measurable Definition of Done style indicators
+
+   Misc / Placeholders:
+   - TODO markers / unresolved decisions
+   - Ambiguous adjectives ("robust", "intuitive") lacking quantification
+
+   For each category with Partial or Missing status, add a candidate question opportunity unless:
+   - Clarification would not materially change implementation or validation strategy
+   - Information is better deferred to planning phase (note internally)
+
+3. Generate (internally) a prioritized queue of candidate clarification questions (maximum 5). Do NOT output them all at once. Apply these constraints:
+    - Maximum of 10 total questions across the whole session.
+    - Each question must be answerable with EITHER:
+       * A short multiple‑choice selection (2–5 distinct, mutually exclusive options), OR
+       * A one-word / short‑phrase answer (explicitly constrain: "Answer in <=5 words").
+   - Only include questions whose answers materially impact architecture, data modeling, task decomposition, test design, UX behavior, operational readiness, or compliance validation.
+   - Ensure category coverage balance: attempt to cover the highest impact unresolved categories first; avoid asking two low-impact questions when a single high-impact area (e.g., security posture) is unresolved.
+   - Exclude questions already answered, trivial stylistic preferences, or plan-level execution details (unless blocking correctness).
+   - Favor clarifications that reduce downstream rework risk or prevent misaligned acceptance tests.
+   - If more than 5 categories remain unresolved, select the top 5 by (Impact * Uncertainty) heuristic.
+
+4. Sequential questioning loop (interactive):
+    - Present EXACTLY ONE question at a time.
+    - For multiple‑choice questions render options as a Markdown table:
+
+       | Option | Description |
+       |--------|-------------|
+       | A | <Option A description> |
+       | B | <Option B description> |
+       | C | <Option C description> | (add D/E as needed up to 5)
+       | Short | Provide a different short answer (<=5 words) | (Include only if free-form alternative is appropriate)
+
+    - For short‑answer style (no meaningful discrete options), output a single line after the question: `Format: Short answer (<=5 words)`.
+    - After the user answers:
+       * Validate the answer maps to one option or fits the <=5 word constraint.
+       * If ambiguous, ask for a quick disambiguation (count still belongs to same question; do not advance).
+       * Once satisfactory, record it in working memory (do not yet write to disk) and move to the next queued question.
+    - Stop asking further questions when:
+       * All critical ambiguities resolved early (remaining queued items become unnecessary), OR
+       * User signals completion ("done", "good", "no more"), OR
+       * You reach 5 asked questions.
+    - Never reveal future queued questions in advance.
+    - If no valid questions exist at start, immediately report no critical ambiguities.
+
+5. Integration after EACH accepted answer (incremental update approach):
+    - Maintain in-memory representation of the spec (loaded once at start) plus the raw file contents.
+    - For the first integrated answer in this session:
+       * Ensure a `## Clarifications` section exists (create it just after the highest-level contextual/overview section per the spec template if missing).
+       * Under it, create (if not present) a `### Session YYYY-MM-DD` subheading for today.
+    - Append a bullet line immediately after acceptance: `- Q: <question> → A: <final answer>`.
+    - Then immediately apply the clarification to the most appropriate section(s):
+       * Functional ambiguity → Update or add a bullet in Functional Requirements.
+       * User interaction / actor distinction → Update User Stories or Actors subsection (if present) with clarified role, constraint, or scenario.
+       * Data shape / entities → Update Data Model (add fields, types, relationships) preserving ordering; note added constraints succinctly.
+       * Non-functional constraint → Add/modify measurable criteria in Non-Functional / Quality Attributes section (convert vague adjective to metric or explicit target).
+       * Edge case / negative flow → Add a new bullet under Edge Cases / Error Handling (or create such subsection if template provides placeholder for it).
+       * Terminology conflict → Normalize term across spec; retain original only if necessary by adding `(formerly referred to as "X")` once.
+    - If the clarification invalidates an earlier ambiguous statement, replace that statement instead of duplicating; leave no obsolete contradictory text.
+    - Save the spec file AFTER each integration to minimize risk of context loss (atomic overwrite).
+    - Preserve formatting: do not reorder unrelated sections; keep heading hierarchy intact.
+    - Keep each inserted clarification minimal and testable (avoid narrative drift).
+
+6. Validation (performed after EACH write plus final pass):
+   - Clarifications session contains exactly one bullet per accepted answer (no duplicates).
+   - Total asked (accepted) questions ≤ 5.
+   - Updated sections contain no lingering vague placeholders the new answer was meant to resolve.
+   - No contradictory earlier statement remains (scan for now-invalid alternative choices removed).
+   - Markdown structure valid; only allowed new headings: `## Clarifications`, `### Session YYYY-MM-DD`.
+   - Terminology consistency: same canonical term used across all updated sections.
+
+7. Write the updated spec back to `FEATURE_SPEC`.
+
+8. Report completion (after questioning loop ends or early termination):
+   - Number of questions asked & answered.
+   - Path to updated spec.
+   - Sections touched (list names).
+   - Coverage summary table listing each taxonomy category with Status: Resolved (was Partial/Missing and addressed), Deferred (exceeds question quota or better suited for planning), Clear (already sufficient), Outstanding (still Partial/Missing but low impact).

+   - Suggested next command.
+
+Behavior rules:
+- If no meaningful ambiguities found (or all potential questions would be low-impact), respond: "No critical ambiguities detected worth formal clarification." and suggest proceeding.
+- If spec file missing, instruct user to run `/speckit.specify` first (do not create a new spec here).
+- Never exceed 5 total asked questions (clarification retries for a single question do not count as new questions).
+- Avoid speculative tech stack questions unless the absence blocks functional clarity.
+- Respect user early termination signals ("stop", "done", "proceed").
+ - If no questions asked due to full coverage, output a compact coverage summary (all categories Clear) then suggest advancing.
+ - If quota reached with unresolved high-impact categories remaining, explicitly flag them under Deferred with rationale.

+           ```
+        
+        4. **CRITICAL - Table Formatting**: Ensure markdown tables are properly formatted:
+           - Use consistent spacing with pipes aligned
+           - Each cell should have spaces around content: `| Content |` not `|Content|`
+           - Header separator must have at least 3 dashes: `|--------|`
+           - Test that the table renders correctly in markdown preview
+        5. Number questions sequentially (Q1, Q2, Q3 - max 3 total)
+        6. Present all questions together before waiting for responses
+        7. Wait for user to respond with their choices for all questions (e.g., "Q1: A, Q2: Custom - [details], Q3: B")
+        8. Update the spec by replacing each [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] marker with the user's selected or provided answer
+        9. Re-run validation after all clarifications are resolved
+   
+   d. **Update Checklist**: After each validation iteration, update the checklist file with current pass/fail status
+
+6. Report completion with branch name, spec file path, checklist results, and readiness for the next phase (`/speckit.clarify` or `/speckit.plan`).
+
+**NOTE:** The script creates and checks out the new branch and initializes the spec file before writing.
+
+## General Guidelines
+
+## Quick Guidelines
+
+- Focus on **WHAT** users need and **WHY**.
+- Avoid HOW to implement (no tech stack, APIs, code structure).
+- Written for business stakeholders, not developers.
+- DO NOT create any checklists that are embedded in the spec. That will be a separate command.
+
+### Section Requirements
+
+- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
+- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
+- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")
+
+### For AI Generation
+
+When creating this spec from a user prompt:
+
+1. **Make informed guesses**: Use context, industry standards, and common patterns to fill gaps
+2. **Document assumptions**: Record reasonable defaults in the Assumptions section
+3. **Limit clarifications**: Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers - use only for critical decisions that:
+   - Significantly impact feature scope or user experience
+   - Have multiple reasonable interpretations with different implications
+   - Lack any reasonable default
+4. **Prioritize clarifications**: scope > security/privacy > user experience > technical details
+5. **Think like a tester**: Every vague requirement should fail the "testable and unambiguous" checklist item
+6. **Common areas needing clarification** (only if no reasonable default exists):
+   - Feature scope and boundaries (include/exclude specific use cases)
+   - User types and permissions (if multiple conflicting interpretations possible)
+   - Security/compliance requirements (when legally/financially significant)
+   
+**Examples of reasonable defaults** (don't ask about these):
+
+- Data retention: Industry-standard practices for the domain
+- Performance targets: Standard web/mobile app expectations unless specified
+- Error handling: User-friendly messages with appropriate fallbacks
+- Authentication method: Standard session-based or OAuth2 for web apps
+- Integration patterns: RESTful APIs unless specified otherwise
+
+### Success Criteria Guidelines
+
+Success criteria must be:
+
+1. **Measurable**: Include specific metrics (time, percentage, count, rate)
+2. **Technology-agnostic**: No mention of frameworks, languages, databases, or tools
+3. **User-focused**: Describe outcomes from user/business perspective, not system internals
+4. **Verifiable**: Can be tested/validated without knowing implementation details
+
+**Good examples**:
+
+- "Users can complete checkout in under 3 minutes"
+- "System supports 10,000 concurrent users"
+- "95% of searches return results in under 1 second"
+- "Task completion rate improves by 40%"
+
+**Bad examples** (implementation-focused):
+
+- "API response time is under 200ms" (too technical, use "Users see results instantly")
+- "Database can handle 1000 TPS" (implementation detail, use user-facing metric)
+- "React components render efficiently" (framework-specific)
+- "Redis cache hit rate above 80%" (technology-specific)

-     * **Setup tasks**: Project init, dependencies, linting
-     * **Test tasks [P]**: One per contract, one per integration scenario
-     * **Core tasks**: One per entity, service, CLI command, endpoint
-     * **Integration tasks**: DB connections, middleware, logging
-     * **Polish tasks [P]**: Unit tests, performance, docs
+## Outline
 
-4. Task generation rules:
-   - Each contract file → contract test task marked [P]
-   - Each entity in data-model → model creation task marked [P]
-   - Each endpoint → implementation task (not parallel if shared files)
-   - Each user story → integration test marked [P]
-   - Different files = can be parallel [P]
-   - Same file = sequential (no [P])
+1. **Setup**: Run `{SCRIPT}` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
 
-5. Order tasks by dependencies:
-   - Setup before everything
-   - Tests before implementation (TDD)
-   - Models before services
-   - Services before endpoints
-   - Core before integration
-   - Everything before polish
+2. **Load design documents**: Read from FEATURE_DIR:
+   - **Required**: plan.md (tech stack, libraries, structure), spec.md (user stories with priorities)
+   - **Optional**: data-model.md (entities), contracts/ (API endpoints), research.md (decisions), quickstart.md (test scenarios)
+   - Note: Not all projects have all documents. Generate tasks based on what's available.
 
-6. Include parallel execution examples:
-   - Group [P] tasks that can run together
-   - Show actual Task agent commands
+3. **Execute task generation workflow** (follow the template structure):
+   - Load plan.md and extract tech stack, libraries, project structure
+   - **Load spec.md and extract user stories with their priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.)**
+   - If data-model.md exists: Extract entities → map to user stories
+   - If contracts/ exists: Each file → map endpoints to user stories
+   - If research.md exists: Extract decisions → generate setup tasks
+   - **Generate tasks ORGANIZED BY USER STORY**:
+     - Setup tasks (shared infrastructure needed by all stories)
+     - **Foundational tasks (prerequisites that must complete before ANY user story can start)**
+     - For each user story (in priority order P1, P2, P3...):
+       - Group all tasks needed to complete JUST that story
+       - Include models, services, endpoints, UI components specific to that story
+       - Mark which tasks are [P] parallelizable
+       - If tests requested: Include tests specific to that story
+     - Polish/Integration tasks (cross-cutting concerns)
+   - **Tests are OPTIONAL**: Only generate test tasks if explicitly requested in the feature spec or user asks for TDD approach
+   - Apply task rules:
+     - Different files = mark [P] for parallel
+     - Same file = sequential (no [P])
+     - If tests requested: Tests before implementation (TDD order)
+   - Number tasks sequentially (T001, T002...)
+   - Generate dependency graph showing user story completion order
+   - Create parallel execution examples per user story
+   - Validate task completeness (each user story has all needed tasks, independently testable)
 
-7. Create FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md with:
-   - Correct feature name from implementation plan
-   - Numbered tasks (T001, T002, etc.)
+4. **Generate tasks.md**: Use `.specify/templates/tasks-template.md` as structure, fill with:
+   - Correct feature name from plan.md
+   - Phase 1: Setup tasks (project initialization)
+   - Phase 2: Foundational tasks (blocking prerequisites for all user stories)
+   - Phase 3+: One phase per user story (in priority order from spec.md)
+     - Each phase includes: story goal, independent test criteria, tests (if requested), implementation tasks
+     - Clear [Story] labels (US1, US2, US3...) for each task
+     - [P] markers for parallelizable tasks within each story
+     - Checkpoint markers after each story phase
+   - Final Phase: Polish & cross-cutting concerns
+   - Numbered tasks (T001, T002...) in execution order
    - Clear file paths for each task
-   - Dependency notes
-   - Parallel execution guidance
+   - Dependencies section showing story completion order
+   - Parallel execution examples per story
+   - Implementation strategy section (MVP first, incremental delivery)
+
+5. **Report**: Output path to generated tasks.md and summary:
+   - Total task count
+   - Task count per user story
+   - Parallel opportunities identified
+   - Independent test criteria for each story
+   - Suggested MVP scope (typically just User Story 1)
 
 Context for task generation: {ARGS}
 
 The tasks.md should be immediately executable - each task must be specific enough that an LLM can complete it without additional context.
+
+## Task Generation Rules
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Tests are optional. Only generate test tasks if the user explicitly requested testing or TDD approach in the feature specification.
+
+**CRITICAL**: Tasks MUST be organized by user story to enable independent implementation and testing.
+
+1. **From User Stories (spec.md)** - PRIMARY ORGANIZATION:
+   - Each user story (P1, P2, P3...) gets its own phase
+   - Map all related components to their story:
+     - Models needed for that story
+     - Services needed for that story
+     - Endpoints/UI needed for that story
+     - If tests requested: Tests specific to that story
+   - Mark story dependencies (most stories should be independent)
+   
+2. **From Contracts**:
+   - Map each contract/endpoint → to the user story it serves
+   - If tests requested: Each contract → contract test task [P] before implementation in that story's phase
+   
+3. **From Data Model**:
+   - Map each entity → to the user story(ies) that need it
+   - If entity serves multiple stories: Put in earliest story or Setup phase
+   - Relationships → service layer tasks in appropriate story phase
+   
+4. **From Setup/Infrastructure**:
+   - Shared infrastructure → Setup phase (Phase 1)
+   - Foundational/blocking tasks → Foundational phase (Phase 2)
+     - Examples: Database schema setup, authentication framework, core libraries, base configurations
+     - These MUST complete before any user story can be implemented
+   - Story-specific setup → within that story's phase
+
+5. **Ordering**:
+   - Phase 1: Setup (project initialization)
+   - Phase 2: Foundational (blocking prerequisites - must complete before user stories)
+   - Phase 3+: User Stories in priority order (P1, P2, P3...)
+     - Within each story: Tests (if requested) → Models → Services → Endpoints → Integration
+   - Final Phase: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+   - Each user story phase should be a complete, independently testable increment

-**Structure Decision**: [DEFAULT to Option 1 unless Technical Context indicates web/mobile app]
-
-## Phase 0: Outline & Research
-1. **Extract unknowns from Technical Context** above:
-   - For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
-   - For each dependency → best practices task
-   - For each integration → patterns task
-
-2. **Generate and dispatch research agents**:
-   ```
-   For each unknown in Technical Context:
-     Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
-   For each technology choice:
-     Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"
-   ```
-
-3. **Consolidate findings** in `research.md` using format:
-   - Decision: [what was chosen]
-   - Rationale: [why chosen]
-   - Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]
-
-**Output**: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved
-
-## Phase 1: Design & Contracts
-*Prerequisites: research.md complete*
-
-1. **Extract entities from feature spec** → `data-model.md`:
-   - Entity name, fields, relationships
-   - Validation rules from requirements
-   - State transitions if applicable
-
-2. **Generate API contracts** from functional requirements:
-   - For each user action → endpoint
-   - Use standard REST/GraphQL patterns
-   - Output OpenAPI/GraphQL schema to `/contracts/`
-
-3. **Generate contract tests** from contracts:
-   - One test file per endpoint
-   - Assert request/response schemas
-   - Tests must fail (no implementation yet)
-
-4. **Extract test scenarios** from user stories:
-   - Each story → integration test scenario
-   - Quickstart test = story validation steps
-
-5. **Update agent file incrementally** (O(1) operation):
-   - Run `{SCRIPT}` for your AI assistant
-   - If exists: Add only NEW tech from current plan
-   - Preserve manual additions between markers
-   - Update recent changes (keep last 3)
-   - Keep under 150 lines for token efficiency
-   - Output to repository root
-
-**Output**: data-model.md, /contracts/*, failing tests, quickstart.md, agent-specific file
-
-## Phase 2: Task Planning Approach
-*This section describes what the /tasks command will do - DO NOT execute during /plan*
-
-**Task Generation Strategy**:
-- Load `.specify/templates/tasks-template.md` as base
-- Generate tasks from Phase 1 design docs (contracts, data model, quickstart)
-- Each contract → contract test task [P]
-- Each entity → model creation task [P] 
-- Each user story → integration test task
-- Implementation tasks to make tests pass
-
-**Ordering Strategy**:
-- TDD order: Tests before implementation 
-- Dependency order: Models before services before UI
-- Mark [P] for parallel execution (independent files)
-
-**Estimated Output**: 25-30 numbered, ordered tasks in tasks.md
-
-**IMPORTANT**: This phase is executed by the /tasks command, NOT by /plan
-
-## Phase 3+: Future Implementation
-*These phases are beyond the scope of the /plan command*
-
-**Phase 3**: Task execution (/tasks command creates tasks.md)  
-**Phase 4**: Implementation (execute tasks.md following constitutional principles)  
-**Phase 5**: Validation (run tests, execute quickstart.md, performance validation)
+**Structure Decision**: [Document the selected structure and reference the real
+directories captured above]

-- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
-- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
-- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")

-### For AI Generation
-When creating this spec from a user prompt:
-1. **Mark all ambiguities**: Use [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: specific question] for any assumption you'd need to make
-2. **Don't guess**: If the prompt doesn't specify something (e.g., "login system" without auth method), mark it
-3. **Think like a tester**: Every vague requirement should fail the "testable and unambiguous" checklist item
-4. **Common underspecified areas**:
-   - User types and permissions
-   - Data retention/deletion policies  
-   - Performance targets and scale
-   - Error handling behaviors
-   - Integration requirements
-   - Security/compliance needs

-- [ ] T008 [P] User model in src/models/user.py
-- [ ] T009 [P] UserService CRUD in src/services/user_service.py
-- [ ] T010 [P] CLI --create-user in src/cli/user_commands.py
-- [ ] T011 POST /api/users endpoint
-- [ ] T012 GET /api/users/{id} endpoint
-- [ ] T013 Input validation
-- [ ] T014 Error handling and logging
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
 
-## Phase 3.4: Integration
-- [ ] T015 Connect UserService to DB
-- [ ] T016 Auth middleware
-- [ ] T017 Request/response logging
-- [ ] T018 CORS and security headers
+**Purpose**: Core infrastructure that MUST be complete before ANY user story can be implemented
 
-## Phase 3.5: Polish
-- [ ] T019 [P] Unit tests for validation in tests/unit/test_validation.py
-- [ ] T020 Performance tests (<200ms)
-- [ ] T021 [P] Update docs/api.md
-- [ ] T022 Remove duplication
-- [ ] T023 Run manual-testing.md
+**⚠️ CRITICAL**: No user story work can begin until this phase is complete
 
-## Dependencies
-- Tests (T004-T007) before implementation (T008-T014)
-- T008 blocks T009, T015
-- T016 blocks T018
-- Implementation before polish (T019-T023)
+Examples of foundational tasks (adjust based on your project):
 
-## Parallel Example
-```
-# Launch T004-T007 together:
-Task: "Contract test POST /api/users in tests/contract/test_users_post.py"
-Task: "Contract test GET /api/users/{id} in tests/contract/test_users_get.py"
-Task: "Integration test registration in tests/integration/test_registration.py"
-Task: "Integration test auth in tests/integration/test_auth.py"
+- [ ] T004 Setup database schema and migrations framework
+- [ ] T005 [P] Implement authentication/authorization framework
+- [ ] T006 [P] Setup API routing and middleware structure
+- [ ] T007 Create base models/entities that all stories depend on
+- [ ] T008 Configure error handling and logging infrastructure
+- [ ] T009 Setup environment configuration management
+
+**Checkpoint**: Foundation ready - user story implementation can now begin in parallel
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 - [Title] (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 1 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+**NOTE: Write these tests FIRST, ensure they FAIL before implementation**
+
+- [ ] T010 [P] [US1] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T011 [P] [US1] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [ ] T012 [P] [US1] Create [Entity1] model in src/models/[entity1].py
+- [ ] T013 [P] [US1] Create [Entity2] model in src/models/[entity2].py
+- [ ] T014 [US1] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py (depends on T012, T013)
+- [ ] T015 [US1] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+- [ ] T016 [US1] Add validation and error handling
+- [ ] T017 [US1] Add logging for user story 1 operations
+
+**Checkpoint**: At this point, User Story 1 should be fully functional and testable independently
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - [Title] (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 2 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+- [ ] T018 [P] [US2] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T019 [P] [US2] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [ ] T020 [P] [US2] Create [Entity] model in src/models/[entity].py
+- [ ] T021 [US2] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py
+- [ ] T022 [US2] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+- [ ] T023 [US2] Integrate with User Story 1 components (if needed)
+
+**Checkpoint**: At this point, User Stories 1 AND 2 should both work independently
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: User Story 3 - [Title] (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 3 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+- [ ] T024 [P] [US3] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T025 [P] [US3] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 3
+
+- [ ] T026 [P] [US3] Create [Entity] model in src/models/[entity].py
+- [ ] T027 [US3] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py
+- [ ] T028 [US3] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+
+**Checkpoint**: All user stories should now be independently functional
+
+---
+
+[Add more user story phases as needed, following the same pattern]
+
+---
+
+## Phase N: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+**Purpose**: Improvements that affect multiple user stories
+
+- [ ] TXXX [P] Documentation updates in docs/
+- [ ] TXXX Code cleanup and refactoring
+- [ ] TXXX Performance optimization across all stories
+- [ ] TXXX [P] Additional unit tests (if requested) in tests/unit/
+- [ ] TXXX Security hardening
+- [ ] TXXX Run quickstart.md validation
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
+- **User Stories (Phase 3+)**: All depend on Foundational phase completion
+  - User stories can then proceed in parallel (if staffed)
+  - Or sequentially in priority order (P1 → P2 → P3)
+- **Polish (Final Phase)**: Depends on all desired user stories being complete
+
+### User Story Dependencies
+
+- **User Story 1 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
+- **User Story 2 (P2)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1 but should be independently testable
+- **User Story 3 (P3)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1/US2 but should be independently testable
+
+### Within Each User Story
+
+- Tests (if included) MUST be written and FAIL before implementation
+- Models before services
+- Services before endpoints
+- Core implementation before integration
+- Story complete before moving to next priority
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- All Setup tasks marked [P] can run in parallel
+- All Foundational tasks marked [P] can run in parallel (within Phase 2)
+- Once Foundational phase completes, all user stories can start in parallel (if team capacity allows)
+- All tests for a user story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Models within a story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Different user stories can be worked on in parallel by different team members
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Example: User Story 1
+
+```bash
+# Launch all tests for User Story 1 together (if tests requested):
+Task: "Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py"
+Task: "Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py"
+
+# Launch all models for User Story 1 together:
+Task: "Create [Entity1] model in src/models/[entity1].py"
+Task: "Create [Entity2] model in src/models/[entity2].py"
 ```
 
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1: Setup
+2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (CRITICAL - blocks all stories)
+3. Complete Phase 3: User Story 1
+4. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Test User Story 1 independently
+5. Deploy/demo if ready
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Complete Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready
+2. Add User Story 1 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo (MVP!)
+3. Add User Story 2 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+4. Add User Story 3 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+5. Each story adds value without breaking previous stories
+
+### Parallel Team Strategy
+
+With multiple developers:
+
+1. Team completes Setup + Foundational together
+2. Once Foundational is done:
+   - Developer A: User Story 1
+   - Developer B: User Story 2
+   - Developer C: User Story 3
+3. Stories complete and integrate independently
+

 ## Notes
+
 - [P] tasks = different files, no dependencies
+- [Story] label maps task to specific user story for traceability
+- Each user story should be independently completable and testable
 - Verify tests fail before implementing
-- Commit after each task
-- Avoid: vague tasks, same file conflicts
+- Commit after each task or logical group
+- Stop at any checkpoint to validate story independently
+- Avoid: vague tasks, same file conflicts, cross-story dependencies that break independence
 
-## Task Generation Rules
-*Applied during main() execution*
 
-1. **From Contracts**:
-   - Each contract file → contract test task [P]
-   - Each endpoint → implementation task
-   
-2. **From Data Model**:
-   - Each entity → model creation task [P]
-   - Relationships → service layer tasks
-   
-3. **From User Stories**:
-   - Each story → integration test [P]
-   - Quickstart scenarios → validation tasks
-
-4. **Ordering**:
-   - Setup → Tests → Models → Services → Endpoints → Polish
-   - Dependencies block parallel execution
-
-## Validation Checklist
-*GATE: Checked by main() before returning*
-
-- [ ] All contracts have corresponding tests
-- [ ] All entities have model tasks
-- [ ] All tests come before implementation
-- [ ] Parallel tasks truly independent
-- [ ] Each task specifies exact file path
-- [ ] No task modifies same file as another [P] task
