Can I see changes before they are applied?

Yes, the skill includes a --dry-run flag that allows you to review the proposed specification updates without modifying any files.

Do I need to install flowctl separately?

No, the flowctl utility is bundled directly within the Claude Code plugin root, ensuring the skill works immediately without global installations.

How does Flow-Next Plan Sync fix drift?

It analyzes the current state of the codebase against a completed or in-progress source task and updates the descriptions of all future (downstream) tasks to reflect the new technical reality.

What is implementation drift in AI coding?

Implementation drift occurs when the actual code written by an AI agent deviates from the original task specifications or architectural plan, making future tasks based on those specs inaccurate.

Does this work with epics or individual tasks?

Both. You can provide a specific task ID (e.g., fn-1.1) or an entire epic ID (e.g., fn-1) to synchronize the project state.

Productivity & Workflow

Synchronizes downstream task specifications with recent code changes to prevent implementation drift in AI-driven development.

Flow-Next Plan Sync is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to maintain alignment between project specifications and actual code implementation. In fast-paced AI coding sessions, implementation often outpaces initial task descriptions; this skill manually triggers a plan-sync agent to analyze drift and update all downstream task specs (todo or blocked) based on a source task or epic. It ensures the AI agent always works from the most accurate, up-to-date context, preventing hallucinations and 'spec-drift' in complex, multi-step workflows.
