Sync Setup Wizard

Interactive skill that configures SpecWeave's external sync in one guided flow.

Workflow

Step 1: Provider Selection

Ask the user which providers to enable:

AskUserQuestion: "Which external platforms do you want to sync with?"
Options: GitHub, JIRA, Azure DevOps (multiSelect: true)

Step 2: Credentials (per provider)

GitHub:

1. Check gh auth status — if authenticated, use existing token
2. If not, ask for GITHUB_TOKEN
3. Ask for owner/repo (or auto-detect from git remote)

JIRA:

1. Ask for JIRA domain (e.g., company.atlassian.net)
2. Ask for email
3. Ask for API token (from https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens)
4. Ask for project key
5. Validate: curl -u email:token https://domain/rest/api/3/myself

Azure DevOps:

1. Ask for organization name
2. Ask for project name
3. Ask for PAT (from https://dev.azure.com/org/_usersSettings/tokens)
4. Validate: curl -u :PAT https://dev.azure.com/org/_apis/projects/project?api-version=7.1

Step 3: Permission Preset

AskUserQuestion: "What sync permissions do you want?"
Options:
- read-only: Only pull changes from external tools
- push-only: Only push SpecWeave changes to external tools
- bidirectional (Recommended): Both push and pull
- full-control: Everything including delete

Step 4: Hierarchy Detection (JIRA/ADO only)

For JIRA and ADO, auto-detect the hierarchy:

// Use the new SyncEngine to detect hierarchy
const engine = new SyncEngine({ permissions: resolvePermissions('read-only') });
engine.registerProvider(adapter);
const hierarchy = await engine.detectHierarchy(platform);

Show detected mapping and ask for confirmation:

AskUserQuestion: "Detected hierarchy pattern: [pattern]. Is this correct?"
Options: Yes, use detected mapping | No, let me customize | Use flat mapping

Step 5: GitHub Projects v2 (GitHub only)

AskUserQuestion: "Do you want to sync with a GitHub Project board?"
Options: Yes, select a project | No, just Issues + Labels

If yes, list available projects and ask which one.

Step 6: Write Config

Write the following:

1. .env — Add credentials (JIRA_API_TOKEN, JIRA_EMAIL, AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT, etc.)
2. .specweave/config.json — Update sync section:

{
  "sync": {
    "enabled": true,
    "preset": "bidirectional",
    "github": { "enabled": true, "owner": "...", "repo": "..." },
    "jira": { "enabled": true, "domain": "...", "projectKey": "..." },
    "ado": { "enabled": true, "organization": "...", "project": "..." }
  }
}

Step 7: Dry Run

Run a test sync (read-only) to verify configuration:

# Test each enabled provider
node -e "
  import { SyncEngine } from './src/sync/engine.js';
  import { GitHubAdapter } from './src/sync/providers/github.js';
  // ... test connection for each provider
"

Report results and confirm setup is complete.

Key Principles

• Never commit secrets: Credentials go in .env only
• Validate before saving: Test API calls before writing config
• Safe defaults: Default to bidirectional preset (no delete)
• User confirmation: Always confirm detected hierarchy
