SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps the status of linked issues aligned with workflow events before the implement hook executes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Synchronizes the linked issue state automatically during Speckit workflows that use the before_implement hook.
  • Improves traceability and reduces manual updates by ensuring issue links reflect current progress.
  • Use Case: In a multi-repo workflow, ensure linked issues show the correct status before code changes are implemented.

Quick Start

Run the update-linked-issue script with the before_implement event to synchronize the associated linked issue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep GitHub issues synced before implementing code changes?▼

You can keep GitHub issues synced by running an update-linked-issue script triggered by the before_implement hook, ensuring issue statuses reflect current progress before code changes begin.

What is the before_implement hook in spec-kit workflows?▼

The before_implement hook is a spec-kit workflow event that synchronizes linked issue states automatically, improving traceability and reducing manual updates across multi-repo workflows before implementation starts.

How do I automate issue status updates in a multi-repo workflow?▼

Automate issue status updates by applying the update-linked-issue script within the .specify/ directory, coordinating automations across workflow extensions to align linked issues with workflow events.

Does spec-kit require the .specify/ directory to sync linked issues?▼

Yes, spec-kit projects require the .specify/ directory to coordinate automations across workflow extensions and properly run the update-linked-issue script for linked issue synchronization.

Why are linked issue statuses out of sync with my workflow events?▼

Linked issue statuses fall out of sync when workflow extensions lack an automated before_implement hook to read and update issue links, requiring manual intervention to align progress tracking.

Can I use spec-kit workflows to update linked issues automatically?▼

Yes, you can use spec-kit workflows to update linked issues automatically by running the update-linked-issue script with the before_implement event, ensuring issue links reflect current progress.
