 # Project Changelog
 
+## 0.3.4 - 2026-05-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed global CLI help handling so `speckit --help`, `speckit -h`, `speckit help`, and command-level `--help` print usage without an unknown-command warning.
+
+### Quality
+
+- Added CLI help regression coverage.
+- `npm test` passes with 44 tests.
+
+## 0.3.3 - 2026-05-11
+
+### Added
+
+- Added `docs/prompt-architecture.md` to define Speckit prompt layers, required sections, implementation contract, review contract, long-session contract, and adapter parity policy.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Strengthened generated story and TDD evidence templates with AC IDs, implementation scope, Dev Notes, Dev Agent Record, File List, Change Log, and review evidence.
+- Strengthened generated skill files with inputs, outputs, common mistakes, hard gates, validation guidance, and durable artifact requirements.
+- Strengthened the super-agent, enterprise run prompt, and IDE adapter prompts with workflow state, just-in-time context loading, spec compliance, edge-case review, and production readiness expectations.
+
+### Quality
+
+- Expanded workflow contract terms so `speckit validate` checks Dev Agent Record, File List, Change Log, spec compliance, and edge-case prompt coverage across installed adapters.
+
+## 0.3.2 - 2026-05-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed OpenCode, Cursor, and Claude Code JSON generation so schema-strict config files no longer include the internal `x-speckit-managed` marker.
+- Fixed generated YAML-frontmatter files so IDE agents, Cursor rules, stories, evidence, and current context start with `---` and keep the Speckit marker after frontmatter.
+- Preserved idempotent `speckit init` behavior for strict JSON files by matching generated JSON fingerprints and legacy marker-based files.
+
+### Quality
+
+- Added regression tests for strict JSON compatibility, frontmatter placement, legacy config upgrades, and adapter output quality.
+- `npm test` passes with 42 tests.
+

+# Speckit Prompt Architecture
+
+Speckit prompts are product contracts, not loose instructions. Each prompt must make the agent produce durable Agile + TDD artifacts that another agent can resume, validate, and review.
+
+## Design Goals
+
+- Keep rough intent separate from implementation.
+- Make acceptance criteria and TDD evidence first-class.
+- Preserve long-session continuity through files.
+- Keep IDE prompts aligned across all supported tools.
+- Prefer machine-checkable output over conversational claims.
+
+## Prompt Layers
+
+| Layer | Purpose | Example Artifact |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Router | Select the smallest matching skill | `.speckit/agents/super-agent.md` |
+| Skill | Define phase-specific behavior | `.speckit/skills/spec-tdd.md` |
+| Workflow | Define ordered phase execution | `.speckit/workflows/tdd-run.md` |
+| Run prompt | Define implementation contract | `.speckit/prompts/spec-run.md` |
+| IDE adapter | Project the same contract into each tool | `AGENTS.md`, `.claude/skills/*`, `.cursor/rules/*` |
+
+## Required Prompt Sections
+
+Every core prompt should include:
+
+- Goal
+- Phase or role
+- Required context
+- Inputs and outputs
+- Hard gates
+- Common mistakes to prevent
+- Stop conditions
+- Output contract
+- Validation command or evidence requirement
+
+## Implementation Prompt Contract
+
+Code-producing prompts must require:
+
+- Ready story with acceptance criteria.
+- Fresh current context.
+- Active session.
+- Matching TDD evidence path.
+- Red evidence before implementation.
+- Green evidence after the target test passes.
+- Refactor evidence after regression validation.
+- Story Dev Agent Record, File List, and Change Log updates.
+- Session checkpoint at red, green, refactor, and review boundaries.
+
+## Review Prompt Contract
+
+Review prompts run in this order:
+
+1. Spec compliance: requested behavior, AC coverage, and no unrelated scope.
+2. Edge-case pathing: branch, boundary, error, state, and concurrency gaps.
+3. Production readiness: security, compatibility, performance, observability, rollback, docs.
+
+Findings lead the report. Each finding needs severity, path, impact, and concrete fix.
+
+## Long Session Contract
+
+- Keep durable decisions in `.speckit/**`, not chat.
+- Load only the current phase and directly referenced files.
+- Compact before handoff or after noisy tool output.
+- Preserve session summary and artifact log.
+- Rehydrate from project memory, active session, current context, story, and evidence.
+
+## Adapter Policy
+
+All IDE adapters must preserve the same terms:
+
+- project memory
+- active session
+- current context
+- subagent handoff
+- acceptance criteria
+- red-green-refactor
+- checkpoint and compact
+- robot-safe graph commands
+- ready-for-dev
+- Dev Agent Record
+- File List
+- Change Log
+- spec compliance
+- edge-case review
