update-ticket-frontmatter

To automatically update YAML frontatter in markdown files, you can use a bash script with standard shell utilities to modify fields like effort, commit_hash, and category in place after implementation work is completed.

To modify YAML fields in markdown frontmatter while enforcing field order, apply a shell utility script to individual ticket files that updates values and enforces the insertion order defined in the field rules.

The best way to track git commit hashes and effort estimations in ticket markdown files is to run a post-implementation bash script that attaches the final committed hash and effort value directly to the ticket's YAML frontmatter.

This frontmatter update process is applied to individual ticket markdown files in your repository, meaning you target specific files rather than applying bulk updates across the entire repository at once.

You do not need external dependencies to update markdown YAML frontmatter via bash, as the process relies solely on standard shell utilities already available in your environment to modify files in place.

YAML frontmatter fields may lose correct order when updating ticket metadata if the script does not enforce insertion order defined in field rules, which this shell utility specifically handles during in-place modification.
