Manual Plan-Sync
Manually trigger plan-sync to update downstream task specs.
Session Phase Tracking
On entry, set the session phase:
PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
FLUXCTL="${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fluxctl"
$FLUXCTL session-phase set sync
On completion, reset:
$FLUXCTL session-phase set idle
CRITICAL: fluxctl is BUNDLED - NOT installed globally. Always use:
PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
FLUXCTL="${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fluxctl"
Input
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Format: <id> [--dry-run]
<id> - task ID fn-N-slug.M (or legacy fn-N.M, fn-N-xxx.M) or epic ID fn-N-slug (or legacy fn-N, fn-N-xxx)
--dry-run - show changes without writing
Workflow
Step 1: Parse Arguments
PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
FLUXCTL="${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fluxctl"
REPO_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
Parse $ARGUMENTS for:
- First positional arg =
ID
--dry-run flag = DRY_RUN (true/false)
Validate ID format first:
- Must start with
fn-
- If no ID provided: "Usage: /flux:sync [--dry-run]"
- If doesn't match
fn-* pattern: "Invalid ID format. Use fn-N-slug (epic) or fn-N-slug.M (task). Legacy fn-N, fn-N-xxx also work."
Detect ID type:
- Contains
. (e.g., fn-1.2 or fn-1-add-oauth.2) -> task ID
- No
. (e.g., fn-1 or fn-1-add-oauth) -> epic ID
Step 2: Validate Environment
test -d .flux || { echo "No .flux/ found. Run fluxctl init first."; exit 1; }
If .flux/ missing, output error and stop.
Step 3: Validate ID Exists
$FLUXCTL show <ID> --json
If command fails:
- For task ID: "Task not found. Run
fluxctl list to see available."
- For epic ID: "Epic not found. Run
fluxctl epics to see available."
Stop on failure.
Step 4: Find Downstream Tasks
For task ID input:
EPIC=$(echo "<task-id>" | sed 's/\.[0-9]*$//')
$FLUXCTL tasks --epic "$EPIC" --json
Filter to status: todo or status: blocked. Exclude the source task itself.
For epic ID input:
$FLUXCTL tasks --epic "<epic-id>" --json
-
First, find a source task to anchor drift detection (agent requires COMPLETED_TASK_ID):
- Prefer most recently updated task with
status: done
- Else: most recently updated task with
status: in_progress
- Else: error "No completed or in-progress tasks to sync from. Complete a task first."
-
Then filter remaining tasks to status: todo or status: blocked (these are downstream).
If no downstream tasks:
No downstream tasks to sync (all done or none exist).
Stop here (success, nothing to do).
Step 5: Spawn Plan-Sync Agent
Build context and spawn via Task tool:
Sync task specs from <source> to downstream tasks.
COMPLETED_TASK_ID: <source task id - the input task, or selected source for epic mode>
FLUXCTL: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fluxctl
EPIC_ID: <epic id>
DOWNSTREAM_TASK_IDS: <comma-separated list from step 4>
DRY_RUN: <true|false>
<if DRY_RUN is true>
DRY RUN MODE: Report what would change but do NOT use Edit tool. Only analyze and report drift.
</if>
Use Task tool with subagent_type: flux:plan-sync
Note: COMPLETED_TASK_ID is always provided - for task-mode it's the input task, for epic-mode it's the source task selected in Step 4.
Step 6: Report Results
After agent returns, format output:
Normal mode:
Plan-sync: <source> -> downstream tasks
Scanned: N tasks (<list>)
<agent summary>
Dry-run mode:
Plan-sync: <source> -> downstream tasks (DRY RUN)
<agent summary>
No files modified.
Error Messages
| Case | Message |
|---|
| No ID provided | "Usage: /flux:sync [--dry-run]" |
No .flux/ | "No .flux/ found. Run fluxctl init first." |
| Invalid format | "Invalid ID format. Use fn-N-slug (epic) or fn-N-slug.M (task). Legacy fn-N, fn-N-xxx also work." |
| Task not found | "Task not found. Run fluxctl list to see available." |
| Epic not found | "Epic not found. Run fluxctl list to see available." |
| No source (epic mode) | "No completed or in-progress tasks to sync from. Complete a task first." |
| No downstream | "No downstream tasks to sync (all done or none exist)." |
Rules
- Ignores config -
planSync.enabled setting is for auto-trigger only; manual always runs
- Any source status - source task can be todo, in_progress, done, or blocked
- Includes blocked - downstream set includes both
todo and blocked tasks
- Reuses agent - spawns existing plan-sync agent, no duplication
Update Check (End of Command)
ALWAYS run at the very end of command execution:
PLUGIN_ROOT="${DROID_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)}}"
[ ! -d "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts" ] && PLUGIN_ROOT=$(ls -td ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nairon-flux/flux/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)
UPDATE_JSON=$("$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/version-check.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo '{"update_available":false}')
UPDATE_AVAILABLE=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.update_available')
LOCAL_VER=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.local_version')
REMOTE_VER=$(echo "$UPDATE_JSON" | jq -r '.remote_version')
If update available, append to output:
---
Flux update available: v${LOCAL_VER} → v${REMOTE_VER}
Update Flux from the same source you installed it from, then restart your agent session.
---
