How does this skill differ from standard GitHub issue tracking?

It automates the creation of granular sub-task checklists within a single issue and posts technical context, diff summaries, and test results directly to comments as tasks are completed.

How do I sync my local progress to the GitHub issue?

You can use the /sw:github:sync command with the --tasks flag to immediately update the GitHub issue checklist and status to match your local SpecWeave increment progress.

Can it track time spent on specific coding tasks?

Yes, it compares estimated hours defined in your specs with actual time recorded in the SpecWeave metadata to generate detailed time reports and pace analysis.

Does it support team collaboration with human developers?

Absolutely. It uses standard GitHub @mentions for task assignments and supports manual status updates, making it easy for humans and AI to work on the same issue.

Can it detect and manage task dependencies?

Yes, it supports task-level dependencies and blocking issue links, preventing work on blocked tasks and notifying assignees when a dependency is resolved.
