feat: add Trae IDE support as a new agent by huangguang1999 · Pull Request #1817 · github/spec-kit

huangguang1999 · 2026-03-12T11:10:43Z

Summary

Add Trae as a supported AI agent in spec-kit. Trae is an IDE-based AI assistant that uses .trae/rules/ directory for project-level rules in Markdown format.

Follows the same integration pattern as kimi support (#1790) and tabnine support.

Changes (9 files, +128 / -12)

Core runtime

src/specify_cli/__init__.py — Add trae to AGENT_CONFIG (IDE-based, .trae/ folder, rules subdir, requires_cli: False)
src/specify_cli/extensions.py — Add trae to CommandRegistrar.AGENT_CONFIGS (.trae/rules, markdown, .md)

Release packaging

create-release-packages.sh — Add trae to ALL_AGENTS and build case
create-release-packages.ps1 — Add trae to $AllAgents and switch block
create-github-release.sh — Add trae template zips to release assets

Agent context scripts

scripts/bash/update-agent-context.sh — Add TRAE_FILE, case branch, and auto-detect
scripts/powershell/update-agent-context.ps1 — Add TRAE_FILE, ValidateSet, switch, auto-detect

Documentation & tests

README.md — Add Trae to supported agents table, CLI examples, --ai option list
tests/test_agent_config_consistency.py — Add 8 consistency tests for trae

Design Decisions

Directory: .trae/rules/ — Trae's project rules location per official docs
Format: Markdown (.md) — consistent with Trae's rule file format
IDE-based: requires_cli: False, install_url: None — similar to Cursor/Windsurf pattern
Placement: Before generic in all agent lists, following existing ordering convention

Testing

Verified Python syntax validity for both __init__.py and extensions.py
Confirmed all 8 new consistency tests cover every integration point
Cross-checked with kimi (feat: add Kimi Code CLI agent support #1790) and tabnine integration patterns for consistency

AI Disclosure

I did not use AI assistance for this contribution
I did use AI assistance (describe below)

This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Mira AI) for:

Researching Trae IDE's configuration structure and rule file format from official documentation
Generating code changes across all 9 integration points following established patterns
Writing 8 consistency tests mirroring the kimi/tabnine test structure

All changes were reviewed and verified by the contributor.

… release script Fix incorrect parameter names in the trae case of Build-Variant: - -Format -> -Extension - -ArgsToken -> -ArgFormat - -OutDir -> -OutputDir These now match the Generate-Commands function signature and all other agent entries in the script.

Good catch! Fixed in 5e162dd — corrected the parameter names to -Extension, -ArgFormat, -OutputDir to match the Generate-Commands function signature and all other agent entries.
