## What it does

The command manages references between GitHub and Linear. It can audit mappings, find orphaned links and mismatches, repair outdated references, remove invalid entries, and consolidate duplicates. Ask it to audit, repair, map, validate, or export.

Mapping data can live in `.reference-mappings.json` or reference state files. The command checks GitHub CLI availability and Linear MCP connectivity and authentication, then looks for sync and reference files. Backups, rollback, and logging are part of the described data-protection workflow. Link checks may fail if the required tools are unavailable.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub, Linear

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command sync/cross-reference-manager
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/cross-reference-manager.md` — Call it with /cross-reference-manager. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/cross-reference-manager.md` — Call it with /prompts:cross-reference-manager. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/cross-reference-manager.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/cross-reference-manager.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

## When to use it
- find orphaned GitHub–Linear references
- detect mismatched cross-platform links
- repair outdated mappings and remove invalid entries
- consolidate duplicate references
- export mapping reports and backups

## Example prompts
- Audit the references between GitHub and Linear.

# Cross-Reference Manager

Manage comprehensive cross-platform reference links with integrity validation: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Reference State

- GitHub CLI: !`gh --version 2>/dev/null && echo "✓ Available" || echo "⚠ Not available"`
- Linear MCP: Check Linear MCP server connectivity and authentication
- Reference database: @.reference-mappings.json or reference state files
- Link integrity: !`find . -name "*sync*" -o -name "*reference*" | wc -l` mapping files found

## Task

Implement comprehensive cross-reference management for GitHub-Linear integration:

**Management Action**: Use $ARGUMENTS to specify audit, repair, mapping, validation, or export operations

**Reference Management Framework**:
1. **Reference Database** - Initialize mapping storage, track bidirectional links, maintain sync history
2. **Integrity Auditing** - Scan cross-references, identify orphaned links, detect mismatches, validate consistency
3. **Smart Repair** - Fix broken references, update outdated links, consolidate duplicates, remove invalid entries
4. **Mapping Visualization** - Display reference networks, show connection health, highlight problems, provide statistics
5. **Deep Validation** - Verify link functionality, test bidirectional navigation, check field consistency, ensure data integrity
6. **Export & Documentation** - Generate mapping reports, create backup files, provide import instructions, maintain audit trails

**Advanced Features**: Automated orphan detection, intelligent reference reconstruction, duplicate consolidation, comprehensive validation.

**Data Protection**: Backup before modifications, transaction-based operations, rollback capabilities, comprehensive logging.

**Output**: Complete reference management system with integrity reports, repair summaries, mapping visualizations, and comprehensive cross-platform link maintenance.
