 This bundled extension manages the **coding agent context/instruction file** (e.g. `CLAUDE.md`, `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md`, …) for the active integration.
 
-It owns the lifecycle of the managed section delimited by the configurable start/end markers (defaults: `<!-- SPECKIT START -->` / `<!-- SPECKIT END -->`).
+It owns the lifecycle of the managed section delimited by the configurable start/end markers (defaults: `<!-- SPECKIT START -->` / `<!-- SPECKIT END -->`). Everything else is untouched.
+
+> NOTE: Spec Kit itself never touches your agent context file. This extension is the only thing that does, and it's opt-in: install it if you want the block kept in sync, skip it if you'd rather manage that file yourself.
 
 ## Why an extension?
 
 Not every Spec Kit user wants Spec Kit to write into the coding agent's context file. Keeping this behavior in a dedicated, **opt-in** extension lets users:
 
-- **Choose whether to install it at all** — `specify init` does not install it. Add it explicitly when you want Spec Kit to manage the agent context file; if it is absent or disabled, Spec Kit never creates or modifies that file.
-- **Customize the markers** by editing `.specify/extensions/agent-context/agent-context-config.yml` — the bundled scripts honor the `context_markers` value.
+- **Choose whether to install it at all** - `specify init` does **NOT** install it. Add it explicitly when you want Spec Kit to manage the agent context file; if it is absent or disabled, Spec Kit never creates or modifies that file (the AI context file).
+- **Customize the markers** by editing [agent-context-config.yml](./agent-context-config.yml) - the bundled scripts honor the `context_markers` value.
 - **Synchronize multiple agent anchors** by setting `context_files` when a project intentionally uses more than one coding agent context file, such as `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`.
-- **Refresh on demand** by running the `speckit.agent-context.update` command in your agent, or automatically through the hooks declared in `extension.yml` (`after_specify`, `after_plan`). Invoke it using your agent's slash-command separator — `/speckit.agent-context.update` for dot-separator agents or `/speckit-agent-context-update` for hyphen-separator agents (e.g. Forge, Cline).

-## Commands
+## Installation
+
+To install the extension, run the following command after installing Spec Kit.
+
+```bash
+specify extension add agent-context
+```
 
-The command ID below is canonical. When invoking it as a slash command, use your agent's separator: `/speckit.agent-context.update` for dot-separator agents or `/speckit-agent-context-update` for hyphen-separator agents (e.g. Forge, Cline).
+## Disabling
 
-| Command | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
+```bash
+specify extension disable agent-context
+
+# Re-enable it
+specify extension enable agent-context
+```
+
+While this extension is disabled (or not installed), nothing in Spec Kit creates, updates, or removes the managed block - the `__CONTEXT_FILE__` placeholder in any template is left as-is, and the extension's own config is never read.

 ## Requirements
 
 The bundled update scripts require **Python 3** with **PyYAML** for YAML/upsert processing (PowerShell can also use `ConvertFrom-Yaml` when available).
 
-PyYAML ships with the `specify` CLI and is normally available via the same `python3` interpreter. If a hook reports *"PyYAML is required … not available in the current Python environment"*, it means the system `python3` differs from the one used to install Spec Kit. To resolve, run:

+## Issues
 
-When disabled (or never installed), Spec Kit performs no agent context file creation, updates, or removal — the extension's bundled scripts are the only code that ever touches the managed section. The Specify CLI carries no agent-context state at all: it never reads this config, never resolves a context file, and the `__CONTEXT_FILE__` placeholder (if present in any template) is left untouched. All context-file knowledge — including the per-agent default mapping in `agent-context-defaults.json` — lives entirely within this extension, so disabling it is a complete opt-out.
