FAQPage Schema

How do I sync linked issue statuses during a before_plan hook?▼

To sync linked issue statuses during a before_plan hook, run the SpeckKit workflow to execute the update-linked-issue.sh script. This automatically aligns related issue states when the planning stage begins, preventing manual drift across tasks.

Why do linked issue statuses drift when starting a plan in SpeckKit?▼

Linked issue statuses drift when starting a plan because related tasks are not automatically updated. Running the before_plan hook applies the update-linked-issue.sh script to force state alignment, ensuring consistent statuses across all linked issues.

What is the before_plan hook used for in issue tracking workflows?▼

The before_plan hook in issue tracking workflows is used to synchronize linked issue statuses. It executes the update-linked-issue script to ensure that related tasks reflect identical states before planning decisions are made and executed.

Do I need a specific directory structure to sync issues before planning?▼

Yes, you need a SpeckKit project structure containing a .specify directory to sync issues before planning. This directory structure is required for the update-linked-issue.sh script to function correctly within the before_plan hook workflow.

Can I use SpeckKit before_plan hooks to manage linked issues across planning stages?▼

Yes, you can use SpeckKit before_plan hooks to manage linked issues across planning stages. The hook triggers the update-linked-issue.sh script, ensuring consistent state synchronization across related tasks during both planning and execution phases.

What's the best way to automate issue state alignment in SpeckKit projects?▼

The best way to automate issue state alignment in SpeckKit projects is using the before_plan hook. It automatically runs the update-linked-issue.sh script during the planning phase to maintain consistent statuses across all linked issues without manual intervention.
