$ARGUMENTSYou MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
Pre-Execution Checks
Check for extension hooks (before specification):
- Check if
.specify/extensions.ymlexists in the project root. - If it exists, read it and look for entries under the
hooks.before_specifykey - If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, do not skip silently: tell the user that
.specify/extensions.ymlcould not be read (include the parser error) and that no hooks were checked, including any mandatory (optional: false) hooks registered there, then continue normally - Filter out hooks where
enabledis explicitlyfalse. Treat hooks without anenabledfield as enabled by default. - For each remaining hook, do not attempt to interpret or evaluate hook
conditionexpressions:- If the hook has no
conditionfield, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable - If the hook defines a non-empty
condition, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
- If the hook has no
- For each executable hook, output the following based on its
optionalflag:- Optional hook (
optional: true):## Extension Hooks **Optional Pre-Hook**: \{extension\} Command: `/\{command\}` Description: \{description\} Prompt: \{prompt\} To execute: `/\{command\}` - Mandatory hook (
optional: false):After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal## Extension Hooks **Automatic Pre-Hook**: \{extension\} Executing: `/\{command\}` EXECUTE_COMMAND: \{command\} Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.\{command\}id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as/skill:speckit-...or$speckit-...). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.

.specify/extensions.ymldoes not exist, skip silently
Outline
The text the user typed after __SPECKIT_COMMAND_SPECIFY__ in the triggering message is the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if \{ARGS\} appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.
Given that feature description, do this:
Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the feature:
- Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
- Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
- Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
- Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
- Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
- Examples:
- "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
- "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
- "Create a dashboard for analytics" → "analytics-dashboard"
- "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
Branch creation (optional, via hook):
If a
before_specifyhook ran successfully in the Pre-Execution Checks above, it will have created/switched to a git branch and output JSON containingBRANCH_NAMEandFEATURE_NUM. Note these values for reference, but the branch name does not dictate the spec directory name.If the user explicitly provided
GIT_BRANCH_NAME, pass it through to the hook so the branch script uses the exact value as the branch name (bypassing all prefix/suffix generation).Create the spec feature directory:
Specs live under the default
specs/directory unless the user explicitly providesSPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY.Resolution order for
SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY:- If the user explicitly provided
SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY(e.g., via environment variable, argument, or configuration), use it as-is - Otherwise, auto-generate it under
specs/:- Check
.specify/init-options.jsonforfeature_numbering(preferred) orbranch_numbering(deprecated, migration only — will be removed in a future release) - If
"timestamp": prefix isYYYYMMDD-HHMMSS(current timestamp) - If
"sequential"or absent: prefix isNNN(next available 3-digit number after scanning existing directories inspecs/)
