…d files The consistency-propagation checklist told the agent to read .specify/templates/commands/*.md, but specify init never creates that directory — command templates are rendered straight into the agent-specific directory (.github/prompts/, .claude/commands/, ...). The checklist step could therefore never run against real files. Point it at the installed speckit.* command files for the active agent instead.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes an incorrect reference in the Constitution command template so the “consistency propagation checklist” points to command files that actually exist in initialized projects (agent-installed commands/skills), rather than a non-existent .specify/templates/commands/ directory.
Changes:
- Update the checklist to reference installed command files for the active agent instead of
.specify/templates/commands/*.md.

Copilot skills mode installs speckit-<name>/SKILL.md under .github/skills/, not .github/agents/. Mention both directories and the SKILL.md layout. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The previous commit dropped the speckit-* flat-file variant used by Cline and others while adding the SKILL.md layout. Name all three: speckit.*, speckit-*, and speckit-<name>/SKILL.md. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Fixes #660
Root cause
Step 4 of the constitution command's consistency-propagation checklist tells the agent to:
specify initnever creates.specify/templates/commands/— command templates are rendered directly into the agent-specific directory (.github/prompts/,.claude/commands/,.codex/commands/, …). See also the assessment on #3086: keeping commands out of.specify/templates/is intentional, so the fix is to correct the reference, not to start copying files there.The result today: this checklist step points at a path that does not exist in any initialized project, so the outdated-reference sweep it describes can never actually run.
Change
One line — the step now reads the installed
speckit.*command files for the active agent (with.github/prompts/and.claude/commands/as examples), instead of the nonexistent template path.Testing
No tests pin this template's prose. Verified the new strings are untouched by
CommandRegistrar.rewrite_project_relative_paths(only barescripts/,templates/,memory/prefixes are rewritten).
