⚠️ Experimental — This is themnriempersona Spec Kit presets repository. The presets here are experimental and may change or break without notice.
This repository contains experimental
Spec Kit presets developed by
mnriem. These are personal experiments and are not official or
community-contributed presets.
A preset is a package of custom templates and agent commands that transforms how every spec-kit agent behaves — replacing the default output style, terminology, and structure without changing any tooling.
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
| aide-in-place | Adapts the AIDE extension workflow for in-place technology migrations (X → Y pattern) — adds migration objectives, verification gates, knowledge documents, and behavioral equivalence criteria |
| assess-ask-questions | Adds an interactive #askQuestions-style clarifying round to every stage of the assess extension — before writing each artifact the agent asks a focused batch of multiple-choice questions (Copilot CLI adapted) |
| copilot-sub-agents | Adds sub-agent delegation instructions to all core commands, enabling parallel execution of independent steps via Copilot sub-agents (CLI and VS Code) |
| niem | Adds evidence-based NIEM information exchange guidance to the core, assess, and bugfix processes, with verified component mappings, compatibility rules, and conformance evidence |
| pirate | Transforms all spec-kit output into pirate speak — specs become "Voyage Manifests", plans become "Battle Plans", tasks become "Crew Assignments" |
If you like a specific preset or all the presets in this repository, it is recommended to fork this repository. This gives you a stable copy that won't be affected by experimental changes made here.
Add this catalog URL to your Spec Kit configuration:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mnriem/spec-kit-presets/main/catalog.json
Then install a preset with the Spec Kit CLI:
specify preset add --from https://github.com/mnriem/spec-kit-presets/releases/download/<preset>-v<version>/<preset>.zipOr from a local clone:
specify preset add --dev ./<preset>You can also browse individual presets by navigating to their directory (e.g., pirate/) and reading the README for more details.
See the Spec Kit README for more information about Spec Kit and its preset system.
