Extension Submission

Extension Name: Spec Validate
Extension ID: spec-validate
Version: 1.0.1
Author: Ahmed Eltayeb
Repository: https://github.com/aeltayeb/spec-kit-spec-validate

Description

Comprehension validation, review gating, and approval state for spec-kit artifacts. Adds staged-reveal multiple-choice quizzes for spec.md and tasks.md, a peer review workflow with a 24-hour SLA, and a hard before_implement gate that blocks /speckit.implement until validation and review requirements are met. Cross-platform (bash + PowerShell), agent-adaptive UX (vscode/askQuestions when available, CLI fallback), and a split state model (git-tracked approval state vs. local private analytics).

Please address Copilot feedback

[aeltayeb]

Thanks for the review! Addressed Copilot's feedback in 472b7c8 — moved spec-validate to sort before speckit-utils (since - sorts before k lexicographically). Neighbors are now ship → spec-validate → speckit-utils → spectest.

Please resolve conflicts

[aeltayeb]

Conflicts resolved in fc505d3 — merged upstream/main into the branch. The conflict was in extensions/catalog.community.json where upstream's spec-reference-loader addition landed at the same insertion point as spec-validate. Both entries now coexist in lexicographic order: ship → spec-reference-loader → spec-validate → speckit-utils → spectest. JSON validated.
