Description
Bug Description
The PowerShell common functions in .specify/scripts/powershell/common.ps1 use incorrect paths, causing spec files to be created in specs/ at the repository root instead of .specify/specs/ as documented and expected by the framework.
Steps to Reproduce
- Clone a spec-kit project
- Check out a feature branch (e.g.,
feature/US123-my-feature) - Run
.specify/scripts/powershell/setup-plan.ps1 -Json - Observe files are created in
specs/feature/US123-my-feature/instead of.specify/specs/US123-my-feature/
Expected Behavior
All spec files should be created under the .specify/specs/ directory as documented throughout the framework and in .specify/specs/README.md.
Actual Behavior
- Files are created in
specs/at the repository root (wrong location) - When using feature branches like
feature/something, an extra nestedfeature/directory is created:specs/feature/something/ - This violates the documented
.specify/prefix convention - Requires manual cleanup after every planning operation

-
This affects all PowerShell-based workflows

Root Cause
File: .specify/scripts/powershell/common.ps1
Line 38 (in Get-CurrentBranch function):
$specsDir = Join-Path $repoRoot "specs"Should be:
$specsDir = Join-Path $repoRoot ".specify/specs"Line 98 (in Get-FeatureDir function):
Join-Path $repoRoot "specs/$Branch"Should be:
$dirName = $Branch -replace '^feature/', '' # Strip branch prefix
Join-Path $repoRoot ".specify/specs/$dirName"Proposed Fix
function Get-FeatureDir {
param([string]$RepoRoot, [string]$Branch)
# Strip feature/ prefix if present for specs directory naming
$dirName = $Branch -replace '^feature/', ''
Join-Path $RepoRoot ".specify/specs/$dirName"
}Also update line 38 in Get-CurrentBranch:
$specsDir = Join-Path $repoRoot ".specify/specs"
