blueprint-feature-tracker-sync
Synchronize the feature tracker JSON with TODO.md and manage task progress.
Note: As of v1.1.0, feature-tracker.json is the single source of truth for progress tracking. The tasks section replaces work-overview.md.
Usage: /blueprint:feature-tracker-sync [--summary]
Flags:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--summary |
Generate human-readable markdown summary (stdout only, no file) |
Mode: Generate Summary (--summary)
When --summary is provided, generate a human-readable progress report without modifying any files:
jq -r '
"# Work Overview: \(.project)\n\n" +
"## Current Phase: \(.current_phase // "Not set")\n\n" +
"**Progress**: \(.statistics.complete)/\(.statistics.total_features) features (\(.statistics.completion_percentage)%)\n\n" +
"### In Progress\n" +
(if (.tasks.in_progress | length) == 0 then "- (none)\n" else (.tasks.in_progress | map("- \(.description) [\(.id)]") | join("\n")) + "\n" end) +
"\n### Pending\n" +
(if (.tasks.pending | length) == 0 then "- (none)\n" else (.tasks.pending | map("- \(.description) [\(.id)]") | join("\n")) + "\n" end) +
"\n### Recently Completed\n" +
(if (.tasks.completed | length) == 0 then "- (none)\n" else (.tasks.completed | map("- \(.description) [\(.id)]") | join("\n")) + "\n" end) +
"\n## Phase Status\n" +
(.phases | map("- \(.name): \(.status)") | join("\n"))
' docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json
Output example:
# Work Overview: my-project
## Current Phase: phase-1
**Progress**: 22/42 features (52.4%)
### In Progress
- Implement OAuth integration [FR2.3]
- Add rate limiting [FR3.1]
### Pending
- Webhook support [FR4.1]
- Admin dashboard [FR5.1]
### Recently Completed
- User authentication [FR2.1]
- Session management [FR2.2]
## Phase Status
- Foundation: complete
- Core Features: in_progress
- Advanced Features: not_started
Exit after displaying summary.
Mode: Full Sync (Default)
Step 1: Check if feature tracking is enabled
test -f docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json
If not found, report:
Feature tracking not enabled in this project.
Run `/blueprint-init` and enable feature tracking to get started.
Step 2: Load current state
- Read
docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.jsonfor current feature and task status - Read
TODO.mdfor checkbox states (if exists) - Read manifest for configuration
Step 3: Analyze each feature
For each feature in the tracker:
a. Verify status consistency:
complete: Check TODO.md has[x](if tracked there)partial: Some checkboxes checked, some notin_progress: Should have entry intasks.in_progressnot_started: Check TODO.md has[ ], not in completedblocked: Note if blocking reason is documented
b. Check implementation evidence (optional, for thorough sync):
- Look for files listed in
implementation.files - Check if tests exist in
implementation.tests - Verify commits in
implementation.commits
Step 4: Detect discrepancies
Look for inconsistencies:
- Feature marked
completein tracker but unchecked in TODO.md - Feature checked in TODO.md but not
completein tracker - Feature in
tasks.in_progressbut tracker sayscomplete - PRD status doesn't match feature implementation status
Step 5: Ask user about discrepancies
If discrepancies found (use AskUserQuestion):
question: "Found {N} discrepancies. How should they be resolved?"
options:
- label: "Update tracker from TODO.md"
description: "Trust TODO.md, update tracker to match"
- label: "Update TODO.md from tracker"
description: "Trust the tracker, update TODO.md to match"
- label: "Review each discrepancy"
description: "Show each discrepancy and decide individually"
- label: "Skip - don't resolve discrepancies"
description: "Report discrepancies but don't change anything"
Step 6: Recalculate statistics
- Count features by status across all nested levels
- Calculate completion percentage:
(complete / total) * 100 - Update phase status based on contained features:
completeif all features completein_progressif any feature in_progresspartialif some complete, some notnot_startedif no features started
Step 7: Update feature-tracker.json
- Apply resolved discrepancies
- Update
statisticssection - Update
last_updatedto today's date - Update PRD status if features changed
- Update
current_phaseto first incomplete phase
Step 8: Update TODO.md (if exists)
- Ensure checkbox states match feature status
[x]forcompletefeatures[ ]fornot_startedfeatures- Note partial completion in task text if needed
Step 9: Output sync report
Feature Tracker Sync Report
===========================
Last Updated: {date}
Statistics:
- Total Features: {total}
- Complete: {complete} ({percentage}%)
- Partial: {partial}
- In Progress: {in_progress}
- Not Started: {not_started}
- Blocked: {blocked}
Current Phase: {current_phase}
Phase Status:
- Phase 0: {status}
- Phase 1: {status}
...
Active Tasks:
{tasks.in_progress | list}
Changes Made:
{If changes made:}
- {feature}: {old_status} -> {new_status}
- Updated TODO.md: checked {N} items
{If no changes:}
- No changes needed, all in sync
{If discrepancies skipped:}
Unresolved Discrepancies:
- {feature}: tracker says {status}, TODO.md shows {checkbox_state}
Step 10: Update task registry
Update the task registry entry in docs/blueprint/manifest.json:
jq --arg now "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" \
--arg todo_hash "$(sha256sum TODO.md 2>/dev/null | cut -d' ' -f1)" \
--argjson processed "${FEATURES_SYNCED:-0}" \
'.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].last_completed_at = $now |
.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].last_result = "success" |
.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].context.last_todo_hash = $todo_hash |
.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].stats.runs_total = ((.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].stats.runs_total // 0) + 1) |
.task_registry["feature-tracker-sync"].stats.items_processed = $processed' \
docs/blueprint/manifest.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json docs/blueprint/manifest.json
Step 11: Prompt for next action
Use AskUserQuestion:
question: "Sync complete. What would you like to do next?"
options:
- label: "View detailed status"
description: "Run /blueprint-feature-tracker-status for full breakdown"
- label: "Continue development"
description: "Run /project:continue to work on next task"
- label: "I'm done"
description: "Exit sync"
Task Management
Adding a task to in_progress
When starting work on a feature:
jq '.tasks.in_progress += [{"id": "FR2.3", "description": "Implement OAuth integration", "source": "PRP-002", "added": "2026-02-04"}]' \
docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json
Completing a task
When finishing work:
# Move from in_progress to completed (keep last 10)
jq '
.tasks.completed = ([.tasks.in_progress[] | select(.id == "FR2.3") | . + {"completed": "2026-02-04"}] + .tasks.completed)[:10] |
.tasks.in_progress = [.tasks.in_progress[] | select(.id != "FR2.3")]
' docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json
Adding pending tasks
When planning future work:
jq '.tasks.pending += [{"id": "FR4.1", "description": "Webhook support", "source": "PRD-001", "added": "2026-02-04"}]' \
docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json docs/blueprint/feature-tracker.json
