Required Spec Kit Version

=0.1.0

Required Tools

• PatchWarden (>=1.5.1) - required as an already configured MCP server for the target workspace.

Number of Commands

2

Number of Hooks

2

Tags

verification, evidence, traceability, security

Key Features

• Optional before_implement hook prepares a PatchWarden lineage linked to the current Spec Kit scope.
• Optional after_implement hook guides bounded Evidence Pack export for an accepted lineage.
• Manual commands are available for prepare and export workflows.
• Safety boundaries prohibit secret retrieval, raw logs, full diffs, publishing, pushing, tagging, merging, deployment, and out-of-workspace actions.

Testing Checklist

• Extension installs successfully via the release download URL.
• All command files validate and register without error. The two commands are declarative agent instructions with no shell helpers; their PatchWarden MCP calls require an already configured MCP connection.
• Documentation is complete and accurate.
• No security vulnerabilities identified: the extension has no executable dependencies and documents strict bounded-evidence and no-secret rules.
• Tested on a real PatchWarden project checkout.

Submission Requirements

• Valid extension.yml manifest included.
• README.md with installation and usage instructions.
• MIT LICENSE file included.
• GitHub release created with tag v1.0.0.
• All command files exist and are properly formatted.
• Extension ID follows the lowercase-with-hyphens convention.

Testing Details

Spec Kit CLI: upstream specify-cli 0.12.12.dev0, installed in an isolated virtual environment from the current github/spec-kit source.

Release install:

specify extension add patchwarden-evidence --from https://github.com/jiezeng2004-design/spec-kit-patchwarden/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip

The CLI installed PatchWarden Evidence Pack (v1.0.0) successfully and reported 2 commands, 2 hooks, and enabled status.

Real-project install: repeated the same release-archive installation in a fresh clone of jiezeng2004-design/PatchWarden; the installed manifest reports version 1.0.0 and enabled: true.

The commands intentionally contain no shell scripts. At runtime they require the user to have configured the PatchWarden MCP server and then use only get_task_lineage and export_task_evidence_pack for bounded evidence export.

Example Usage

specify extension add patchwarden-evidence --from https://github.com/jiezeng2004-design/spec-kit-patchwarden/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip
/speckit.patchwarden-evidence.prepare-evidence
/speckit.patchwarden-evidence.export-evidence <lineage_id>

Additional Context

This is the requested follow-up to closed PR #3442. Maintainer @mnriem advised packaging the evidence-pack supervisor as a community extension, cutting a release, confirming specify extension add works, and then filing this Extension Submission. The extension is independently maintained; it does not claim to be a first-party Spec Kit feature.
