1. Background

Qwen Code Cli, one of the AI coding assistants supported by spec-kit, has recently undergone a format system update:

• Deprecated the original .toml format for configuration/interaction files
• Fully switched to Markdown as the core format for configuration and interaction

The current spec-kit codebase still retains logic for adapting to Qwen Code Cli’s TOML format, leading to compatibility issues (e.g., configuration parsing failures) when using the latest version of Qwen Code Cli.

2. Desired Changes

To align with Qwen Code Cli’s format update, we request the following adjustments to spec-kit:

• Remove the TOML format parsing/generation logic for Qwen Code Cli in the codebase
• Add/adapt parsing, generation, and interaction logic for Markdown format (aligned with Qwen Code Cli’s new version specifications)
• Ensure the specify command outputs/inputs fully comply with Markdown specifications when calling Qwen Code Cli
• Add relevant unit tests to cover core scenarios of Markdown format adaptation

3. Additional Context

Qwen Code Cli Version: v0.10.0
