+  Command content with {SCRIPT} and {{args}} placeholders.
+```
+
 ## Argument Patterns
 
 Different agents use different argument placeholders. The placeholder used in command files is always taken from `registrar_config["args"]` for each integration — check there first when in doubt:
 
 - **Markdown/prompt-based**: `$ARGUMENTS` (default for most markdown agents)
 - **TOML-based**: `{{args}}` (e.g., Gemini)
+- **YAML-based**: `{{args}}` (e.g., Goose)
 - **Custom**: some agents override the default (e.g., Forge uses `{{parameters}}`)
 - **Script placeholders**: `{SCRIPT}` (replaced with actual script path)
 - **Agent placeholders**: `__AGENT__` (replaced with agent name)
 
+## Special Processing Requirements
+
+Some agents require custom processing beyond the standard template transformations:
+
+### Copilot Integration
+
+GitHub Copilot has unique requirements:
+- Commands use `.agent.md` extension (not `.md`)
+- Each command gets a companion `.prompt.md` file in `.github/prompts/`
+- Installs `.vscode/settings.json` with prompt file recommendations
+- Context file lives at `.github/copilot-instructions.md`
+
+Implementation: Extends `IntegrationBase` with custom `setup()` method that:
+1. Processes templates with `process_template()`
+2. Generates companion `.prompt.md` files
+3. Merges VS Code settings
+
+### Forge Integration
+
+Forge has special frontmatter and argument requirements:
+- Uses `{{parameters}}` instead of `$ARGUMENTS`
+- Strips `handoffs` frontmatter key (Forge-specific collaboration feature)
+- Injects `name` field into frontmatter when missing
+
+Implementation: Extends `MarkdownIntegration` with custom `setup()` method that:
+1. Inherits standard template processing from `MarkdownIntegration`
+2. Adds extra `$ARGUMENTS` → `{{parameters}}` replacement after template processing
+3. Applies Forge-specific transformations via `_apply_forge_transformations()`
+4. Strips `handoffs` frontmatter key
+5. Injects missing `name` fields
+6. Ensures the shared `update-agent-context.*` scripts include a `forge` case that maps context updates to `AGENTS.md` and lists `forge` in their usage/help text
+
+### Goose Integration
+
+Goose is a YAML-format agent using Block's recipe system:
+- Uses `.goose/recipes/` directory for YAML recipe files
+- Uses `{{args}}` argument placeholder
+- Produces YAML with `prompt: |` block scalar for command content
+
+Implementation: Extends `YamlIntegration` (parallel to `TomlIntegration`):
+1. Processes templates through the standard placeholder pipeline
+2. Extracts title and description from frontmatter
+3. Renders output as Goose recipe YAML (version, title, description, author, extensions, activities, prompt)
+4. Uses `yaml.safe_dump()` for header fields to ensure proper escaping
+5. Context updates map to `AGENTS.md` (shared with opencode/codex/pi/forge)
+
 ## Common Pitfalls
 
 1. **Using shorthand keys for CLI-based integrations**: For CLI-based integrations (`requires_cli: True`), the `key` must match the executable name (e.g., `"cursor-agent"` not `"cursor"`). `shutil.which(key)` is used for CLI tool checks — mismatches require special-case mappings. IDE-based integrations (`requires_cli: False`) are not subject to this constraint.
