speckit-workflows-issue-sync-after-specify

To sync GitHub issue status after a specify hook, run the after_specify Bash script within your spec-kit project. This script automatically locates workflow artifacts in the .specify directory and updates the linked issue to reflect the new state.

The after_specify hook in Speckit workflows triggers automatic synchronization of linked GitHub issues. It ensures that issue statuses are updated or closed to reflect changes immediately after the specification phase completes.

Issue status synchronization requires a standard spec-kit project layout containing a .specify directory. This directory is necessary to locate workflow artifacts and execute the dedicated Bash script for updates.

You can update linked issue states by executing the dedicated Bash script provided in your spec-kit project. The script runs after the specify hook, applying the updated status changes directly to the linked GitHub issue.

Your linked issue status may not update if the dedicated Bash script is missing from your project. Synchronization requires this script to be present to execute the status update and reflect changes to the issue.

You can automatically close a GitHub issue after the specification phase finishes by running the after_specify update script. This ensures the linked issue reflects the new state, such as closed or updated, following the hook.
