Version
spec-kit v1.0.1 (.claude/skills/speckit-implement/SKILL.md, "Check checklists status")
Description
The checklist scan counts every - [ ] / - [x] / - [X] line in every checklist file, including lines inside fenced code blocks. A checklist that documents the checkbox format with an example fence therefore reports phantom unchecked items, and implementation is blocked by checkboxes that aren't real work items.
The clarify command already handles this correctly — .claude/skills/speckit-clarify/SKILL.md specifies parsing Markdown outside code fences — so this is an internal inconsistency between the two commands' parsers as much as a bug.
Expected behavior
Count checkbox markers only outside fenced code blocks (same contract as the clarify parser), keeping the existing per-checklist total/checked/unchecked reporting.
