Manual Plan-Sync
Manually trigger plan-sync to update downstream task specs.
CRITICAL: flowctl is BUNDLED — NOT installed globally. Always use:
ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
OPENCODE_DIR="$ROOT/.opencode"
FLOWCTL="$OPENCODE_DIR/bin/flowctl"
Input
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Format: <id> [--dry-run]
<id> - task ID (fn-N.M) or epic ID (fn-N)
--dry-run - show changes without writing
Workflow
Step 1: Parse Arguments
ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
OPENCODE_DIR="$ROOT/.opencode"
FLOWCTL="$OPENCODE_DIR/bin/flowctl"
Parse $ARGUMENTS for:
- First positional arg =
ID
--dry-run flag = DRY_RUN (true/false)
Get cross-epic config (defaults to false):
CROSS_EPIC="$($FLOWCTL config get planSync.crossEpic --json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.value // empty')"
if [[ -z "$CROSS_EPIC" || "$CROSS_EPIC" == "null" ]]; then
CROSS_EPIC="false"
fi
Validate ID format:
- Must start with
fn-
- If no ID: "Usage: /flow-next:sync [--dry-run]"
- If invalid: "Invalid ID format. Use fn-N (epic) or fn-N.M (task)."
Detect ID type:
- Contains
. (e.g., fn-1.2) → task ID
- No
. (e.g., fn-1) → epic ID
Step 2: Validate Environment
test -d .flow || { echo "No .flow/ found. Run flowctl init first."; exit 1; }
If .flow/ missing, output error and stop.
Step 3: Validate ID Exists
$FLOWCTL show <ID> --json
If fails:
- Task: "Task not found. Run
flowctl list to see available."
- Epic: "Epic not found. Run
flowctl epics to see available."
Stop on failure.
Step 4: Find Downstream Tasks
For task ID input:
EPIC=$(echo "<task-id>" | sed 's/\.[0-9]*$//')
$FLOWCTL tasks --epic "$EPIC" --json
Filter to status: todo or status: blocked. Exclude source task.
For epic ID input:
$FLOWCTL tasks --epic "<epic-id>" --json
-
Find source task (agent requires COMPLETED_TASK_ID):
- Prefer most recently updated task with
status: done
- Else: most recently updated with
status: in_progress
- Else: error "No completed or in-progress tasks to sync from."
-
Filter remaining to status: todo or status: blocked (downstream).
If no downstream tasks:
No downstream tasks to sync (all done or none exist).
Stop (success).
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>
FLOWCTL: $OPENCODE_DIR/bin/flowctl
EPIC_ID: <epic id>
DOWNSTREAM_TASK_IDS: <comma-separated list>
DRY_RUN: <true|false>
CROSS_EPIC: <true|false>
<if DRY_RUN>
DRY RUN MODE: Report changes but do NOT edit files.
</if>
Use Task tool with subagent_type: flow-next:plan-sync
Step 6: Report Results
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 | "Usage: /flow-next:sync [--dry-run]" |
No .flow/ | "No .flow/ found. Run flowctl init first." |
| Invalid format | "Invalid ID format. Use fn-N (epic) or fn-N.M (task)." |
| Task not found | "Task not found. Run flowctl list to see available." |
| Epic not found | "Epic not found. Run flowctl epics to see available." |
| No source | "No completed or in-progress tasks to sync from." |
| No downstream | "No downstream tasks to sync (all done or none exist)." |
Rules
- Ignores config -
planSync.enabled is for auto-trigger; manual always runs
- Any source status - source can be todo, in_progress, done, or blocked
- Includes blocked - downstream includes both
todo and blocked tasks
- Reuses agent - spawns plan-sync agent, no duplication
