Can I see my linked GitHub issues with this skill?

Yes, it extracts Issue IDs from your branch names and displays them in the comprehensive status report.

Does this skill require external plugins?

Yes, Status Syncer is designed to work as part of the fractary-status plugin suite and requires the update-status-cache script to be present.

Why does my Claude Code status bar sometimes lag behind my Git changes?

Claude Code's status line is often throttled to update on specific message cycles. Status Syncer forces a cache refresh and outputs text to trigger an immediate UI update.

Will this work in any directory?

Status Syncer requires you to be inside a valid Git repository to function, as it relies on Git metadata for its reporting.
