Sync Skills

Sync vendored skills with upstream

Prerequisites: gh CLI authenticated. Run everything from the repo root.

Workflow

1. Run npm run sync -- status. States and what to do:

• up-to-date — nothing to do.
• local — our own skill, no upstream; nothing to sync.
• upstream-updated — safe fast-forward: npm run sync -- pull /.
• locally-modified — we edited since the last baseline. If the edits are intentional,

npm run sync -- accept /.

• diverged — both sides changed: merge manually (section below).
• fetch-error (...) — upstream unreachable or moved; check source/skillPath in the

plugin's skills-lock.json against the upstream repo.

1. After all changes: npm run sync -- verify, then commit with a message that

lists which skills were pulled or merged and from which upstream commits.

Manual merge for diverged skills

Never blind-overwrite a diverged skill — pull --force discards our customizations.

1. npm run sync -- diff / — full diff, vendored → upstream.
2. Identify which differences are OUR deliberate customizations

(git log -p -- /skills/ shows how the vendored copy evolved) versus genuine upstream improvements.

1. Edit the vendored files to incorporate the upstream improvements while preserving every

local customization. Read both versions fully before editing.

1. Re-baseline BOTH sides: npm run sync -- seed /

(accept only re-baselines the vendored hash and would leave the skill permanently flagged as upstream-updated).
