spec-kit AGENTS.md

Project instructions for GitHub Spec Kit and Specify, tools for specification-driven development—a method where the software plan is written clearly before implementation. They explain how to add support for AI coding assistants and keep their project files and commands consistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when maintaining Specify CLI, adding an AI coding tool, or working with generated agent-specific command files, folders, formats, and argument conventions.
Why use it?
They give contributors a shared process for changing Specify and adding new supported agents, including required version updates and changelog entries.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spec-kit AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

關於 Spec Kit 與 Specify

GitHub Spec Kit 是一套完整的工具包,用於實踐 Spec-Driven Development(SDD,規格驅動開發)方法論——這是一種強調在實作前先建立明確規格的開發流程。此工具包包含範本、腳本與工作流程,協助開發團隊以結構化方式進行軟體建置。

Specify CLI 是用於專案初始化的命令列介面(Command Line Interface),可透過 Spec Kit 框架快速建立專案。它會設定必要的目錄結構、範本,以及 AI agent 整合,全面支援 Spec-Driven Development 的工作流程。

此工具包支援多種 AI 程式設計輔助工具(AI coding assistants),讓團隊能依偏好選擇工具,同時維持一致的專案結構與開發實踐。


一般實務

  • 任何對 __init__.py 的 Specify CLI 變更,都必須在 pyproject.toml 進行版本號提升,並於 CHANGELOG.md 新增相關紀錄。

新增 AI Agent 支援

本節說明如何為 Specify CLI 新增對新 AI agent/輔助工具的支援。整合新 AI 工具進 Spec-Driven Development 工作流程時,請參考本指南。

概覽

Specify 能支援多個 AI agent,於專案初始化時會產生 agent 專屬的指令檔案及目錄結構。每個 agent 皆有其專屬慣例,包括:

  • 指令檔案格式(Markdown、TOML 等)
  • 目錄結構.claude/commands/.windsurf/workflows/ 等)
  • 指令呼叫模式(斜線指令、CLI 工具等)
  • 參數傳遞慣例$ARGUMENTS{{args}} 等)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
