Skill: sync

Context

Runs the full project sync pipeline (scripts/dev-sync.ts). This is the single mandatory pathway for all workspace commits — it handles lifecycle finalization, audit gating, L0→L1 template propagation, git branch creation, commit, push, and PR creation in one orchestrated flow.

Execution Steps

1. Write the PR body (the agent writes it — never shell out to an LLM CLI):

   • Inspect the change: git diff HEAD~1 --stat and git diff HEAD~1 --name-only (first 30 files).

   • Write the body in English using EXACTLY this structure (keep all section headers, fill placeholders):

     Why

     [1-3 sentences: what problem does this solve and why now?]

     What Changed

     [concise bullet list of actual changes — be specific, not generic]

     Test Plan

     • bun scripts/audit.ts passes
     • [add relevant manual or automated test steps]

     Security Checklist

     • No secrets, credentials, or API keys committed
     • No .env files staged (use .env.sample for templates)
     • Dependencies unchanged or reviewed for new CVEs

     Notes

     [Breaking changes, deployment steps, or reviewer guidance. Write 'None' if not applicable.]

     ---

   • Save it to <git-dir>/sync-pr-body.md, where <git-dir> is git rev-parse --git-dir (e.g. .git/sync-pr-body.md) — outside the working tree so it is never committed.

2. Run the sync script with the provided arguments, passing the body file:

   bun scripts/dev-sync.ts --body-file "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/sync-pr-body.md" "$ARGUMENTS"
   

3. The pipeline executes the following steps in order:

Step	Name	Fatal?	Description
0	CWD Guard	FATAL	Verifies script runs from workspace root; exits if CWD mismatches import.meta.dir/..
1	Language Gate	FATAL	Commit message / PR title must be English (CONSTITUTION.md S3); blocks non-English via language-guard.ts
2	Memory Session Entry	FATAL	Appends session summary (changes, decisions, open issues) to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
2	MEMORY.md Index Sync	FATAL	Updates memory/MEMORY.md index via sync-md.ts
2.5	scripts/README.md Generation	FATAL	Regenerates scripts/README.md via generate-scripts-readme.ts if the script exists
3	CHANGELOG.md Check	FATAL	Checks CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased] — blocks and exits if empty (agent must add entries first via /changelog or manual edit)
3.6	Deprecated Script Warnings	non-fatal	Scans SCRIPTS.md for deprecated scripts and prints warnings
3.7	L0/L1 Script Drift Check	non-fatal	Runs verify-scripts.ts --check-drift to detect drift between L0 and L1 script copies
3.8	Memory File Archival	non-fatal	Runs archive-memory.ts to archive old memory files
3.9	Spec Registry Check	non-fatal	Runs audit.ts --spec-check --lifecycle-only to warn about stale specs
4	AUDIT GATE	FATAL	Runs audit.ts — must exit 0 before proceeding
4.5	VERSION_MANIFEST.md Generation	FATAL	Generates VERSION_MANIFEST.md via generate-version-manifest.ts
4.7	L0 to L1 Publish	FATAL (L0) / non-fatal (L1)	Propagates scripts, skills, commands, docs via propagate-to-templates.ts --apply; fatal only in L0 context (CONSTITUTION.md present)
4.8	Skill Sync to Platforms	non-fatal	Runs sync-skills.ts to distribute skills to .claude/skills/, .gemini/skills/, .agents/skills/; warnings only
5	Branch Creation	FATAL	Creates pr/<timestamp>-<slug> branch if on main/master; reuses existing branch otherwise
6	Sensitive File Guard + Git Add/Commit/Push	FATAL	Guards against .pem, .key, .env, credentials.json, etc.; runs git add -A, git commit, git push
7	PR Creation	FATAL	If --body-file was passed, validates it (English) and opens the PR via gh pr create --body-file; otherwise falls back to gen-pr-body.ts template, .github/pull_request_template.md, then gh pr create --fill; idempotent — updates existing PR if one already exists for the branch

4. If audit fails, fix the reported issue before re-running.

PR Language Rule

All PR titles and bodies generated by this command must be written in English, regardless of the active session language. This applies to the agent-written body in step 1 and to any gh pr create / gh pr edit calls — dev-sync.ts blocks non-English bodies at the same language-guard gate used for commit messages.
