Required Spec Kit Version
=0.14.0,<2.0.0
Required Extensions (optional)
specassay-check (>=0.5.2) - optional. The preset writes the vocabulary; the extension enforces it. The templates are useful without it, but nothing refuses a silent gap until the extension is installed.
Templates Provided
- spec-template.md
- tasks-template.md
- constitution-template.md

Number of Scripts (optional)

Key Features
- Spec template inherits durable IDs from the registry rather than inventing new ones per spec
- Tasks template carries a
**Carries**: line, the declaration that binds a task to the IDs it serves
- Constitution template carries the end-to-end traceability article as a non-negotiable
- Append strategy at priority 10, so it layers onto stock Spec Kit templates rather than replacing them
Update to an existing entry. Replaces #4691 which was filed at 0.5.1 before v0.5.2 shipped.
Tested on Spec Kit 1.0.5, Linux, 2026-09-23, against the published v0.5.2 asset:
$ specify preset add specassay --from https://github.com/rdryfoos/specassay/releases/download/v0.5.2/specassay-preset-0.5.2.zip
Preset 'SpecAssay' v0.5.2 installed (priority 10)
$ specify preset list
SpecAssay (specassay) v0.5.2 - enabled - priority 10
Templates: 3
All three templates resolve, and the tasks template carries its Carries
vocabulary intact after installation.
