speckit-agent-context-update

Coding agent context files need syncing when they contain stale Spec Kit section references that cause agents to use outdated feature plans. Automatically updating these files ensures agents reference the correct, most recently modified specs/*/plan.md path for accurate implementation guidance.

Spec Kit context updates support configurable context management by reading agent-context extension configuration to locate the correct context file and section delimiters. Default markers are provided for projects without custom configuration.

Yes, the Spec Kit context sync works with CLAUDE.md and copilot-instructions.md. It applies to software development workflows using the Spec Kit framework, updating managed sections in these coding agent context files to point to the latest active feature plan.

If your Spec Kit project has no custom agent-context configuration, the context update applies default section delimiters. It automatically detects the latest modified plan and replaces or appends the managed section to keep your coding agent context accurate.

Coding agents use outdated Spec Kit feature plans when context files contain stale section references. Refreshing the Spec Kit section ensures the agent context file points to the current specs/*/plan.md, eliminating the use of obsolete implementation guidance.
