Does it handle custom sections I added to the documentation?

Yes. It identifies headers that were not part of the original template and appends them to a 'Custom Sections' area to ensure your unique notes are never lost.

What happens if an update fails or I want to revert?

Every update automatically creates a backup in the 'refs/archive/' directory, allowing you to easily restore your previous version if issues occur.

Can I review changes before they are applied?

Yes. The skill generates a detailed diff preview of the proposed changes and requires your explicit confirmation before proceeding with any file modifications.

Will I lose my current backlog items during an update?

No. The skill follows a 'data preservation first' principle, specifically extracting your Feature and Task data and re-inserting it into the updated template structure.

Productivity & Workflow

Synchronizes existing sprint documentation with the latest workflow templates while intelligently preserving all project data and task lists.

The Sprint Version Updater is a specialized utility designed to maintain the integrity and currency of your project management framework. It automates the process of upgrading sprint files—specifically BACKLOG.md, HANDOFF.md, and INSTRUCTION.md—whenever the underlying sprint-init templates are updated. By distinguishing between workflow rules and user-generated content, it ensures that project guidelines remain modern while keeping your features, tasks, and data tables untouched. This skill eliminates the manual overhead of migrating sprint data and provides safety through mandatory previews and automated backups.
