sync-repos

name	sync-repos
description	Smart sync of all Egregore repos (memory + managed repos + current repo) — fetches first, only pulls if behind. Use for /sync-repos or 'sync all repos'.

Smart sync of all Egregore repos. Fetches first, only pulls if behind.

When to invoke

User says: "/sync-repos", "sync all repos", "sync everything", "get every repo up to date"

Loom routing

Skip this section if your prompt contains LOOM-EXECUTOR — you are the executor; run the skill as specced below. Full protocol: .claude/context/loom.md.

1. Resolve: ROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh route sync-repos), then DECISION_ID=$(printf '%s\n' "$ROUTE" | jq -r '.decision_id // empty').
2. If mode ≠ delegate, or the user signalled depth ("deep", "think hard", --deep) → run this skill inline as normal. On a depth override, print bash bin/loom.sh footer sync-repos --override after the output and set "override":true in telemetry.
3. Otherwise delegate: spawn the Agent tool with subagent_type: "loom-executor", model = the route's tier, prompt = LOOM-DECISION-ID: $DECISION_ID on its own first line, then LOOM-EXECUTOR: Execute .claude/skills/sync-repos/SKILL.md, plus the user's arguments and any context the spec needs from the session. Print the executor's final output verbatim, then print the output of bash bin/loom.sh footer sync-repos.
4. If the spawn fails or the executor's first line is LOW_CONFIDENCE: — triage the reason: needs-user-interaction or a main-loop-only tool → take over and finish this skill inline (no escalation); genuine uncertainty or failure → reassign ROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh escalate sync-repos "<reason>"), refresh DECISION_ID from ROUTE, then re-spawn once on the new tier carrying the returned decision ID (sticky for this session).
5. Telemetry (fire-and-forget): bash bin/telemetry.sh emit "command" '{"command":"sync-repos","routed":true,"mode":"delegate","model":"<actual>","route_tier":"<table tier>","class":"<class>","escalated":<bool>,"override":<bool>,"source":"<source>"}' 2>/dev/null &

Repos to sync

• ../$MEMORY_DIR — shared knowledge (derived from memory_repo in egregore.json)
• Any repos listed in the repos array in egregore.json (as sibling directories ../{repo})
• Current repo (egregore-core)

Read egregore.json first to get the dynamic list:

# Memory repo directory
MEMORY_DIR=$(basename "$(jq -r '.memory_repo' egregore.json)" .git)

# Managed repos
REPOS=$(jq -r '.repos[]? // empty' egregore.json)

Execution

For each repo, run these commands:

# 1. Fetch (always)
git -C /path/to/repo fetch origin --quiet

# 2. Compare local vs remote
LOCAL=$(git -C /path/to/repo rev-parse HEAD)
REMOTE=$(git -C /path/to/repo rev-parse origin/main)

# 3. Only pull if different
if [ "$LOCAL" != "$REMOTE" ]; then
  git -C /path/to/repo pull origin main --quiet
  # Count commits behind
  BEHIND=$(git -C /path/to/repo rev-list HEAD..origin/main --count)
fi

For the current repo (egregore-core): sync the develop branch instead of main:

# Update local develop ref without switching branches (safe for concurrent sessions)
git fetch origin develop:develop --quiet
# If on dev/* branch, rebase onto develop
BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
if [[ "$BRANCH" == dev/* ]]; then
  git rebase develop --quiet || (git rebase --abort && git merge develop -m "Sync with develop")
fi

Use absolute paths with git -C to avoid permission prompts.

Output format

Syncing Egregore repos...

  {memory-dir}       ↓ 3 commits → pulled
  {repo-1}           ✓ up to date
  {repo-2}           ✓ up to date
  egregore-core      ↓ 1 commit → pulled

Rules

• Use git -C /absolute/path — no cd commands
• Fetch ALL repos first (parallel if possible), then compare/pull
• Show commit count when pulling
• Skip repos that don't exist (no error)
