+# Extension Self-Test: `$ARGUMENTS`
+
+This command drives a self-test simulating the developer experience with the `$ARGUMENTS` extension.
+
+## Goal
+
+Validate the end-to-end lifecycle (discovery, installation, registration) for the extension: `$ARGUMENTS`.
+If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, you must tell the user to provide an extension name, for example: `/speckit.selftest.extension linear`.
+
+## Steps
+
+### Step 1: Catalog Discovery Validation
+
+Check if the extension exists in the Spec Kit catalog.
+Execute this command and verify that it completes successfully and that the returned extension ID exactly matches `$ARGUMENTS`. If the command fails or the ID does not match `$ARGUMENTS`, fail the test.
+
+```bash
+specify extension info "$ARGUMENTS"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Simulate Installation
+
+First, try to add the extension to the current workspace configuration directly. If the catalog provides the extension as `install_allowed: false` (discovery-only), this step is *expected* to fail.
+
+```bash
+specify extension add "$ARGUMENTS"
+```
+
+Then, simulate adding the extension by installing it from its catalog download URL, which should bypass the restriction.
+Obtain the extension's `download_url` from the catalog metadata (for example, via a catalog info command or UI), then run:
+
+```bash
+specify extension add "$ARGUMENTS" --from "<download_url>"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Registration Verification
+
+Once the `add` command completes, verify the installation by checking the project configuration.
+Use terminal tools (like `cat`) to verify that the following file contains a record for `$ARGUMENTS`.
+
+```bash
+cat .specify/extensions/.registry/$ARGUMENTS.json
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verification Report
+
+Analyze the standard output of the three steps.
+Generate a terminal-style test output format detailing the results of discovery, installation, and registration. Return this directly to the user.
+
+Example output format:
+```text
+============================= test session starts ==============================
+collected 3 items
+
+test_selftest_discovery.py::test_catalog_search [PASS/FAIL]

+
