SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Crosslink is a local-first issue tracker designed for AI-assisted development. Data lives in .crosslink/issues.db (SQLite); state syncs via the crosslink/hub git branch. This skill provides a practical reference for using crosslink commands, session lifecycles, hooks, and changelog behavior to coordinate collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidance on starting, operating, and ending sessions; handling the crosslink-behavioral-guard hook; and using labels and changelog routing for consistent collaboration.
  • Reference for the full crosslink CLI surface and the harness cautions (auto-CHANGELOG entries on issue close, --no-changelog flag, label-based skip rules, session lifecycle).
  • Use case: coordinate a multi-person session to open, track, and close issues with proper handoffs and traceable changes.

Quick Start

Start a local Crosslink session to explore issue tracking and session handoffs in your repository.
