+
+        Operators can inject extra CLI flags into the spawned agent
+        subprocess by setting an env var named for the integration key,
+        e.g. `SPECIFY_INTEGRATION_CLAUDE_EXTRA_ARGS="--dangerously-skip-permissions"`.
+        The `INTEGRATION` segment scopes the variable to this subsystem
+        so it does not collide with other Spec Kit env-var namespaces.
+        Hyphens in the integration key are replaced with underscores
+        and the key is uppercased
+        (e.g. `kiro-cli` → `SPECIFY_INTEGRATION_KIRO_CLI_EXTRA_ARGS`).
+
+        Useful in CI / non-interactive contexts where the spawned agent
+        needs flags that change its prompt-handling behaviour.
+        Default behaviour (env var unset or whitespace-only) is a no-op
+        — *args* is unchanged. Multi-token values are parsed via
+        `shlex.split`.
