No upstream inheritance
/robo-sync has no /speckit-* counterpart and is fully self-contained
(research R11). The frontmatter intentionally omits extends:.
If the installed speckit version is outside the requires-speckit range
declared in the frontmatter above, the warning is informational only โ
this skill does not delegate to any speckit workflow, but the
requires-speckit pin keeps the robo-* skill suite consistent.
Flow
TODO (US5 โ T050): replace this section with the end-to-end flow per
research R7. Outline:
- Read
<workspace>/.claude/robo-project.json for projectId and
mcpEndpoint. Fail clearly if either is missing.
- Call MCP
get_bc_design (T2) to fetch the design + the current
[:IMPLEMENTED_IN] mapping. The skill needs both to know which
files to AST-extract and to know the version to send with
propose_sync.
- For each file referenced by
implementationFiles[], run the
language-appropriate extractor:
*.py: python extractors/python_extract.py <file>*.ts: node extractors/ts_extract.mjs <file>
The extractors emit normalized JSON per element on stdout.
- Aggregate the extracts and call MCP
propose_sync (T6) with one
entry per element you saw in source.
- Render the resulting
diff to the developer. For every entry in
requiresConfirmation, ask explicitly โ do not assume yes. Rename
pairs (entries in renameCandidates) need a rename-vs-delete-and-
create decision.
- Call MCP
apply_proposal (T6a) with the confirmed subset. On
status: "conflict", fetch via get_bc_design again and re-propose
once before giving up โ the design changed underneath us.
Extractors
Per-language AST extractors ship verbatim under extractors/:
extractors/python_extract.py โ uses stdlib ast.extractors/ts_extract.mjs โ uses @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree.
Both emit one JSON document per element to stdout (see specs/029-robo-spec-skills/contracts/mcp-tools.md ยงT6 for the shape).
What is NOT in scope
- Writing marker comments into developer source code at any phase
(research R7 explicitly forbids this).
- Applying destructive changes (renames, deletions) without explicit
developer confirmation (Principle IV).
- Bypassing
propose_sync to write directly to the graph.
