/ attach

Attach to an active issue mid-session to switch context.

The /attach command switches your active issue mid-session. Use it when you need to pivot to a different issue without ending and restarting your session.

Usage

agent chat 
/attach ENG-145
agent chat 
/attach the sidebar overflow bug

What Happens

  1. Issue Lookup: FlyDocs fetches the issue by reference or searches by description
  2. Context Load: Reads the issue description, acceptance criteria, and recent comments
  3. Session Update: Sets this issue as the active issue for the current session
  4. State Check: Displays the issue's current status, assignee, and progress

When to Use It

Use /attach when you need to work on a different issue than the one you started with. Common scenarios:

  • You finished one issue and want to pick up another without restarting your session
  • A higher-priority issue came in and you need to switch context
  • You're reviewing or unblocking someone else's issue mid-session

Difference from /activate

/activate transitions an issue to "In Progress" and assigns it to you. /attach simply loads an issue's context without changing its status. Use /attach when you want to read or reference an issue; use /activate when you're starting work on it.
