Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Initialize Git Repository

Initialize a Git repository in the current project directory if one does not already exist.

Execution

Run the appropriate script from the project root:

  • Bash: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/bash/initialize-repo.sh
  • PowerShell: .specify/extensions/git/scripts/powershell/initialize-repo.ps1

If the extension scripts are not found, fall back to:

  • Bash: git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"
  • PowerShell: git init; git add .; git commit -m "Initial commit from Specify template"

The script handles all checks internally:

  • Skips if Git is not available
  • Skips if already inside a Git repository
  • Runs git init, git add ., and git commit with an initial commit message

Customization

Replace the script to add project-specific Git initialization steps:

  • Custom .gitignore templates
  • Default branch naming (git config init.defaultBranch)
  • Git LFS setup
  • Git hooks installation
  • Commit signing configuration
  • Git Flow initialization

Output

On success:

  • ✓ Git repository initialized

Graceful Degradation

If Git is not installed:

  • Warn the user
  • Skip repository initialization
  • The project continues to function without Git (specs can still be created under specs/)

If Git is installed but git init, git add ., or git commit fails:

  • Surface the error to the user
  • Stop this command rather than continuing with a partially initialized repository

Turns a single feature idea, improvement, or bug into ONE well-structured GitHub issue. TRIGGER when: the user wants to file/open/create an issue, turn a feature idea or improvement into a ticket, or capture something missing or broken as a ticket. DO NOT TRIGGER when: breaking work into multiple issues or planning a body of work → a planning skill; writing a full Product Requirements Document → creating-prd; the idea is still fuzzy and unhardened → grilling-ideas first.

Synthesises the current conversation context into a Product Requirements Document and publishes it to GitHub (as a comment on a referenced issue, or a new issue). Synthesises from context; does not interview. TRIGGER when: the conversation has produced enough understanding of a feature and the user wants it captured as a PRD. DO NOT TRIGGER when: a single small issue is enough → creating-issues; the idea has not been stress-tested yet → grilling-ideas first; bug reports.

Stress-tests a fuzzy or vague feature idea before any PRD, spec, or ticket is written. TRIGGER when: the user has a fuzzy feature idea — one or two paragraphs, vague on users / scope / success — and wants to harden it, or says "grill / stress-test / pressure-test this idea." DO NOT TRIGGER when: the idea is already turned into a spec or PRD; bug fixes or refactors; the idea is hardened and you are ready to write the PRD → creating-prd.
