Description

Adds a new 🛠️ Community Friends section to the README, positioned between the existing Community Walkthroughs and Supported AI Agents sections.

This section documents community-built tooling that integrates with Spec Kit — starting with the Spec Kit Assistant, a VS Code extension that provides a visual orchestrator for the full SDD workflow (constitution → specification → planning → tasks → implementation) with phase status visualization, an interactive task checklist, DAG visualization, and multi-AI backend support (Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI).

Why a new section instead of adding to Community Walkthroughs?
Community Walkthroughs lists demo repos showing SDD in action. The Spec Kit Assistant is a published, installable IDE extension — a categorically different kind of community contribution. A dedicated section keeps both lists semantically clean and provides a scalable anchor for future community tools.

The Table of Contents is updated accordingly.

Testing

  • Tested locally with uv run specify --help
  • Ran existing tests with uv sync && uv run pytest
  • Tested with a sample project (if applicable)

This is a documentation-only change (README.md). No CLI code, templates, or scripts were modified.
