SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill updates and keeps the coding agent's context in sync with the most recent plan path, reducing drift between instructions and current tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context synchronization: Reads the agent-context extension config to locate the target context file and the delimiters around the managed block.
  • Plan-based updating: Injects the latest plan path from specs/<feature>/plan.md into the managed section to guide agent behavior.
  • Safe no-op when missing: If the target context file cannot be found, it exits gracefully without changes.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-agent-context-update command to refresh the coding agent context with the most recent plan path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep my coding agent context in sync with the latest plan?

Agent context synchronization reads the agent-context extension config to locate the target context file and delimiters, then injects the latest plan path from specs/<feature>/plan.md into the managed section to guide agent behavior.

How do I automatically update agent context to reference a new plan path?

Automatically update agent context by running the speckit-agent-context-update command, which reads agent-context-config.yml, finds context_file and start/end markers, and updates the managed block to point to the latest plan.

What happens if the target context file is missing during an agent context update?

If the target context file cannot be found during an agent context update, the skill exits gracefully without making any changes, ensuring no drift occurs from missing configurations.

Does this context update tool work with Spec Kit environments?

Yes, the scope covers Spec Kit environments that use the .specify/extensions/agent-context configuration and rely on plan-driven guidance for agent actions.

Why does my coding agent follow an outdated plan instead of the latest specs?

Context drift occurs when instructions and current tasks misalign; this skill solves it by automatically injecting the latest plan path from specs/<feature>/plan.md into the managed context block to guide agent behavior.

Do I need start and end markers to manage agent context blocks?

Yes, start and end markers are required because the skill reads agent-context-config.yml, finds context_file and start/end markers, and updates the managed block to point to the latest plan where possible.
