+- **Parameter Ordering Issues (#1641)**: Fixed CLI parameter parsing issue where option flags were incorrectly consumed as values for preceding options
+  - Added validation to detect when `--ai` or `--ai-commands-dir` incorrectly consume following flags like `--here` or `--ai-skills`
+  - Now provides clear error messages: "Invalid value for --ai: '--here'"
+  - Includes helpful hints suggesting proper usage and listing available agents
+  - Commands like `specify init --ai-skills --ai --here` now fail with actionable feedback instead of confusing "Must specify project name" errors
+  - Added comprehensive test suite (5 new tests) to prevent regressions
