speckit-agent-context-update

To update the Spec Kit section in a coding agent context file, run the update-agent-context script located in the .specify/extensions/agent-context directory and optionally pass the most recent plan path as an argument. This refreshes the context file with the latest plan references.

A .specify directory structure organizes project specifications for coding agents. It enables scripts, like the agent-context update tool, to automatically locate and reference the most recent plan paths within the agent's context file, keeping the agent aligned with current project specs.

Yes, you can run the Spec Kit context update script without a plan path argument. The script is designed to optionally accept a plan path, allowing it to update the coding agent context file by referencing the most recent available plan automatically when the argument is omitted.

Your coding agent context file shows outdated Spec Kit plan paths because it has not been refreshed with the latest project changes. Running the update-agent-context script within the .specify directory structure resolves this by actively referencing the most recent plan path.

Yes, you need a .specify directory to use this context management script. The tool is specifically designed for projects structured with a .specify directory, ensuring the script can correctly locate the extensions and update the coding agent context file accurately.

The best way to keep coding agent context files updated with Spec Kit is to execute the update-agent-context script. Designed for .specify directory projects, it directly refreshes the context file by referencing the most recent plan path, ensuring the agent always has current specifications.
