Command Instructions

Refresh the

.specify/

scripts and templates in the current project by downloading the latest versions from

github/spec-kit

. Never overwrites user-governed files.

Protected paths (never overwrite)

```
.specify/memory/
```
— all files including
```
constitution.md
```
```
.specify/specs/
```
— all feature artifacts

Steps

Verify setup: Check that
```
.specify/
```
exists in the project root. If not, stop and tell the user to run
```
/speckit.init
```
first.

Clone upstream:

bash

UPSTREAM_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git "$UPSTREAM_DIR"

If the clone fails, report the error and stop.

Update files by copying from upstream, skipping protected paths. For each file in the upstream

.specify/

directory:

Upstream source	Local destination	Protected?
`.specify/memory/constitution.md`	`.specify/memory/constitution.md`	YES — skip
`.specify/scripts/bash/common.sh`	`.specify/scripts/bash/common.sh`	update
`.specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh`	`.specify/scripts/bash/setup-plan.sh`	update
`.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh`	`.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh`	update
`.specify/scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`	`.specify/scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh`	update
`.specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh`	`.specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh`	update
`.specify/templates/agent-file-template.md`	`.specify/templates/agent-file-template.md`	update
`.specify/templates/checklist-template.md`	`.specify/templates/checklist-template.md`	update
`.specify/templates/tasks-template.md`	`.specify/templates/tasks-template.md`	update
`.specify/templates/spec-template.md`	`.specify/templates/spec-template.md`	update
`.specify/templates/plan-template.md`	`.specify/templates/plan-template.md`	update

Also copy any additional

.specify/scripts/

or

.specify/templates/

files found in upstream that are not listed above (new upstream additions). Preserve file permissions.

Clean up:
bash
```
rm -rf "$UPSTREAM_DIR"
```

Report a summary table:

Status   | File                                        | Reason
UPDATED  | .specify/templates/spec-template.md         | Content changed
ADDED    | .specify/scripts/bash/new-script.sh         | New upstream file
SKIPPED  | .specify/memory/constitution.md             | User-governed
SKIPPED  | .specify/specs/                             | User-governed

Next step: Review any updated templates before running
```
/speckit.specify
```
or
```
/speckit.plan
```
in case template changes affect expected output format.
