[!NOTE] Community presets are independently created and maintained by their respective authors. Maintainers only verify that catalog entries are complete and correctly formatted — they do not review, audit, endorse, or support the preset code itself. Review preset source code before installation and use at your own discretion.
The following community-contributed presets customize how Spec Kit behaves — overriding templates, commands, and terminology without changing any tooling. Presets are available in catalog.community.json:
