[Preset]: Add NIEM Information Exchanges

Comienza con el README de NIEM enlazado, preset.yml y la URL de descarga publicada; después ejecuta python -m unittest discover -s niem/tests -p 'test_niem_preset.py'. Compara los comandos y las plantillas declarados por el preset con las expectativas de presets del repositorio y verifica que se preserven la instalación, la composición, el licenciamiento y la coherencia del archivo.

Required Spec Kit Version

=1.0.4

Required Extensions (optional)

assess, bug

Templates Provided

• spec-template.md - appends business-level exchange requirements and interoperability acceptance.
• plan-template.md - appends NIEM baselines, mapping decisions, message contracts, and an evidence plan.
• tasks-template.md - appends requirement-to-mapping-to-task coverage.
• checklist-template.md - appends NIEM requirements-quality review topics, not implementation certification.
• constitution-template.md - appends semantic ownership, verified reuse, compatibility, and evidence principles.
• niem-guidance.md - shared reference for source verification, modeling decisions, scope, and conformance limits.
• niem-mapping-template.md - component mapping records for the existing data-model artifact.

Commands Provided

All 18 use wrap composition around their existing core or extension commands:

• speckit.constitution - NIEM governance through the existing amendment process.
• speckit.specify - business exchange requirements without premature schema design.
• speckit.clarify - exchange semantics and acceptance within the existing question budget.
• speckit.plan - verified reuse, local extensions, message formats, and evidence planning.
• speckit.tasks - traceable, story-based exchange work.
• speckit.analyze - read-only cross-artifact consistency review.
• speckit.checklist - requirements-quality review without certifying implementation.
• speckit.implement - approved mappings and actual validation evidence.
• speckit.converge - append-only follow-up tasks for gaps in approved intent.
• speckit.taskstoissues - mapping references, task identity, and evidence needs in issue handoffs.
• speckit.assess.intake - capture an exchange idea without presupposing NIEM adoption.
• speckit.assess.research - investigate fit, authoritative evidence, and counter-evidence.
• speckit.assess.define - define the interoperability problem independently of the solution.
• speckit.assess.shape - compare bounded NIEM and non-NIEM approaches.
• speckit.assess.decide - evidence-qualified go, clarification, or kill decisions.
• speckit.bug.assess - investigate exchange defects without changing source or upgrading NIEM.
• speckit.bug.fix - surgical fixes preserving established compatibility.
• speckit.bug.test - rerun the original reproduction and report actual validation coverage.

Key Features

• Adds NIEM guidance to existing processes without introducing a new runtime, extension, or bundle.
• Uses a NIEM 6.0 reference baseline while preserving explicitly selected legacy versions and compatibility obligations.
• Distinguishes verified component reuse, proposed local extensions, and unverified candidates using source provenance and namespace identities.
• Preserves command phase boundaries, artifact paths, read-only reviews, and human approval gates.
• Separates requirements quality, model/NDR conformance, schema validity, message validity, and interoperability evidence. This is an experimental independent preset, not an official NIEMOpen product or a conformance certification.
• Includes the MIT license in the preset directory and at the root of the release ZIP; development tests are excluded from the ZIP.

Testing Checklist

• Preset installs successfully via specify preset add
• Template resolution works correctly after installation
• Documentation is complete and accurate
• Tested on at least one real project

Version 1.0.1 was installed from the exact published Download URL into a fresh initialized Copilot skills project using Spec Kit 1.0.4, with the bundled assess and bug extensions. All 18 effective skills, full composed specification-template output, installed version, and MIT license were checked. A runnable local resource-exchange project passed 20 regression tests covering conversion, round trips, boundaries, and invalid inputs. These are local working-project checks, not production deployments or formal model/NDR/schema validation.

The preset's 11 integration tests also passed, covering manifest/catalog/README consistency, composition, command and skills installation/removal, stacking, missing extension bases, real CLI initialization with Python and Bash helpers, and release archive/license checks:

python -m unittest discover -s niem/tests -p 'test_niem_preset.py'

The published ZIP was checked against the exact merged source for its manifest, README, MIT license, and all 25 declared command/template files.

Submission Requirements

• Valid preset.yml manifest included
• Linked README (Documentation URL) explains how to use this preset and includes a valid specify preset add ... command (preferably specify preset add --from <download-url> using the exact download URL)
• LICENSE file included
• GitHub release created with version tag
• Preset ID follows naming conventions (lowercase-with-hyphens)
