Problem Statement
The generic integration scaffolds core commands in both command and skills layouts, including speckit.taskstoissues. Its existing extension-registration path, however, does not generate either kind of invocation artifact when an extension is installed. Installing the bundled github extension from #4488 copies its sources but does not make speckit.github.taskstoissues invokable in a generic project.
This gap predates #4488. It becomes a migration blocker if the release that includes #4488 also announces deprecation of the core command: generic users would be directed away from a working command without having an invokable replacement.
Proposed Solution
Support extension command registration for projects using the generic integration, respecting the project's configured command directory and commands-versus-skills layout. Apply the existing extension ownership and removal behavior to generated artifacts; do not change how core templates are scaffolded.
Do not announce the core speckit.taskstoissues command as deprecated until generic users can install and invoke its namespaced replacement.
Alternatives Considered
- Leave generic users on the core command indefinitely: Avoids immediate disruption but prevents completing the migration away from core.
- Announce deprecation with a generic exception: Gives users conflicting migration guidance and no complete replacement path.
- Make a GitHub-extension-specific workaround: Fixes one command while leaving the shared extension-registration gap in place.

Use Cases
- A generic project using
--commands-dir can install an extension and receive its command in that directory.
- A generic project using
--skills can install the same extension and receive an invokable skill.
- Either project can remove the extension without losing its scaffolded core commands or unrelated user files.
Acceptance Criteria
Additional Context
Related: #4421 and #4488 (bundled GitHub extension), #4422 (core-command deprecation), and #4423 (core-command removal).
Release dependency: This issue blocks announcing speckit.taskstoissues as deprecated. If that announcement must accompany merging #4488, it also blocks that merge; otherwise #4488 can ship as an additive extension while the core command remains supported.
AI Disclosure
GitHub Copilot (GPT-6 Sol, interactive; reasoning effort not specified) drafted this issue from a review of #4488 and the existing generic integration. No independent human line-by-line verification is claimed.
