# spk-team-sync

Use this skill when a command touches `spec-kitty tracker sync pull` /
`sync push` / `sync run` (local providers), `tracker bind` / `status`
(hosted SaaS binding), or otherwise SaaS-backed mission data. There is no
standalone sync daemon, offline queue, or sync diagnostics command — that
transport was removed (issue #5); sync is a tracker capability now.

## Flow

1. Determine whether the user needs local-provider sync (`sync pull`/
   `sync push`/`sync run`) or hosted SaaS binding/status.
2. Run `spec-kitty tracker status` before repair commands.
3. Preserve machine-readable output when the user requested JSON.
4. For tracker-bound sync, route to `spk-team-tracker`.
5. For auth failures, route to `spk-team-auth`.

## Local Dev Note

When testing tracker-backed sync flows from the CLI on this computer, hosted
mode is already on — the launch default (#3980) is enabled unless explicitly
opted out; `SPEC_KITTY_ENABLE_SAAS_SYNC=0` is the opt-out. The flag is the
tracker-hosted rollout gate; it does not restore the removed standalone sync
daemon, offline queue, or diagnostics transport. To keep hosted mode off on
this machine, prefer writing `SPEC_KITTY_ENABLE_SAAS_SYNC=0` once into
`.kittify/.kitty.env` (repo-scoped) or `${SPEC_KITTY_HOME}/.kitty.env`
(machine-wide) over a per-shell `export` — a shell export disarms every project
that shell subsequently touches, not just the one you're testing. Run
`spec-kitty doctor env-file` to confirm which tier is active.
