Fork Manifesto

This repository is an independent fork of github/spec-kit that adds Phase 0: AI System Ideation (IDEATE → SELECT → STRUCTURE → VALIDATE) while preserving upstream compatibility and workflows.

Why This Fork Exists

  • Introduce a structured pre-spec workflow for AI systems before /speckit.constitution
  • Provide validated templates, checks, and scripts without breaking upstream behavior
  • Keep a clean, sync-friendly extension path for long-term maintenance

Compatibility Commitments

  • Default behavior uses fork: when SPECIFY_TEMPLATE_REPO is unset, specify init pulls templates from nsalvacao/spec-kit
  • Opt-in upstream templates: set SPECIFY_TEMPLATE_REPO=github/spec-kit or use --template-repo github/spec-kit to use upstream templates instead
  • Minimal divergence: changes are additive and isolated to templates, scripts, and documented overrides

Upstream Alignment Strategy

  • Track upstream main regularly and rebase/merge changes safely
  • Contribute improvements upstream when applicable
  • Maintain a compatibility note for supported upstream versions

Governance and Scope

  • Not affiliated with GitHub
  • MIT license preserved with attribution
  • Focused on high-quality, reproducible workflows and documentation

Roadmap

See ROADMAP.md and .spec-kit/FUTURE_ENHANCEMENTS.md for planned work.
