Consolidate Spec-Kit Files into a Dedicated Folder

[AlbertoBasalo]

📌 Current Status

Currently, Spec-kit creates multiple folders at the root of the project:

• scripts and templates for its own source

• memory and specs for the project being developed

• Additional folders like .github, depending on the IDE

This results in a cluttered root directory where Spec-kit files appear alongside core product source files.

💡 Proposal

To reduce root-level clutter and improve organization, consolidate all Spec-kit-related files into a dedicated dot folder for all the speck-kit stuff. Choose for one of the above:

• .ai
• .spec-kit

🤔 Additionally, consider storing memory and specs in the standard docs/ folder, as they pertain to project documentation.

🔁 Alternative

Alternatively, align with existing IDE or agent conventions. For example:

• Use the .github folder when integrating with GitHub Copilot for storing templates as instructions. (See AIDDbot example)

Yes, that's a good idea. In my project, I wanted to put developer tools in scripts, but due to the spec kit scripts folder, I had no choice but to rename my folder to dev-tools.

I agree, this is much needed. I dislike the fact the scripts are all over my project.
