description	Check Syncthing sync status between devices. Use when asked about sync status, Syncthing issues, or file synchronization.

Syncthing Management

Syncs <SYNC_FOLDER> between <LOCAL_DEVICE> and <REMOTE_DEVICE> bidirectionally.

Setup

Before using this skill, replace the placeholders:

Placeholder	Example	How to find
`<SYNC_FOLDER>`	`~/projects`	The folder you're syncing
`<LOCAL_DEVICE>`	`macbook`	Your local machine name
`<REMOTE_DEVICE>`	`vps`	Remote device name in Syncthing
`<FOLDER_ID>`	`abc12-xyz34`	Syncthing GUI → Folder → Edit → General → Folder ID

Quick Reference

Config: ~/Library/Application Support/Syncthing/config.xml (macOS) or ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml (Linux)
Ignore patterns: <SYNC_FOLDER>/.stignore
Web GUI: http://localhost:8384
Folder ID: <FOLDER_ID>

Status Commands

Check full status

# Service running?
pgrep -x syncthing > /dev/null && echo "Running" || echo "Stopped"

# Web GUI accessible?
curl -s http://localhost:8384/rest/system/status > /dev/null && echo "GUI OK" || echo "GUI unreachable"

Check sync status via API

# Get folder status (requires API key from config.xml)
API_KEY=$(grep -oP '<apikey>\K[^<]+' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Syncthing/config.xml)
curl -s -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" "http://localhost:8384/rest/db/status?folder=<FOLDER_ID>"

Key status fields

state: idle (done), scanning, syncing, error
needFiles: Files waiting to download (0 = in sync)
pullErrors: Files that failed to sync
inSyncFiles vs globalFiles: Local vs total across devices

Healthy sync: needFiles: 0, pullErrors: 0, remote connected

Common Operations

Force rescan (after .stignore changes)

API_KEY=$(grep -oP '<apikey>\K[^<]+' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Syncthing/config.xml)
curl -s -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" "http://localhost:8384/rest/db/scan?folder=<FOLDER_ID>"

Start/stop service (macOS)

# Start
brew services start syncthing

# Stop
brew services stop syncthing

Start/stop service (Linux systemd)

# Start
systemctl --user start syncthing

# Stop
systemctl --user stop syncthing

Common Issues

Case sensitivity errors

macOS is case-insensitive, Linux is case-sensitive. Files like README.md and readme.md conflict.

Fix: Add problematic paths to <SYNC_FOLDER>/.stignore:

// Case conflict files
README.md

Remote not connecting

Check remote device has Syncthing running
Verify firewall allows ports 22000 (sync) and 21027 (discovery)
Check device IDs match in both configs

Sync stuck

# Check for errors
API_KEY=$(grep -oP '<apikey>\K[^<]+' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Syncthing/config.xml)
curl -s -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" "http://localhost:8384/rest/folder/errors?folder=<FOLDER_ID>"
