Spec Kit 0.7.4: Copilot Permissions, Academic Citations

TL;DR

  • Copilot --yolo flag grants all permissions in non-interactive mode
  • Academic citation support via CITATION.cff and .zenodo.json
  • Five new tools added to community catalog; UTF-8 BOM fix for agent context files

New

  • Academic citation support — CITATION.cff and .zenodo.json files enable proper attribution for research and academic projects
  • Community catalog expansions — spec-validate, Ripple, version-guard, spec-reference-loader, and memory-loader now available in the community catalog
  • Fiction book writing preset 1.6 — new preset for creative writing workflows

Fixed

  • Copilot permissions in non-interactive mode — use --yolo flag to grant all permissions without prompts
  • UTF-8 BOM handling — agent context files now properly strip UTF-8 byte order marks on read
  • Antigravity layout migration — agy layout moved to .agents/ directory; --skills flag deprecated

Update: uv tool install specify-cli --from git+https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git@v0.7.4
