description	Generate or refresh the local Claude adapter surface for DocMason from canonical committed sources.

Adapter Sync

Use this skill when the task is to generate or refresh the currently supported adapter artifacts.

This is an explicit adapter-maintenance workflow. It is not a universal prerequisite before every ordinary ask turn. For non-native compatibility targets such as Claude Code, this is the first adaptation step once workspace bootstrap has determined that generated adapter guidance is needed.

Required Capabilities

• local file access
• shell or command execution
• ability to regenerate derived files instead of editing them manually

If the agent cannot write local generated files, stop and explain that adapter synchronization cannot proceed.

Procedure

1. Treat AGENTS.md, canonical SKILL.md files, and canonical workflow.json sidecars as the authored source of truth.
2. Use claude as the default target unless the user explicitly asks for another target.
3. Run docmason status --json when you need to confirm whether the generated adapter is missing or stale.
4. Run docmason sync-adapters --json.
5. If adapter sync fails because canonical sources or workflow metadata are missing or invalid, stop and return that failure to the main agent instead of improvising a manual adapter.
6. If adapter sync succeeds, run docmason status --json when you need to confirm the adapter is now fresh.
7. Return the final adapter status judgment to the main agent. Do not delegate adapter regeneration sign-off.

Escalation Rules

• If the requested target is not implemented, stop and report the current deferral clearly.
• If the generated adapter is stale after canonical source changes, rerun sync-adapters instead of hand-editing generated files.

Completion Signal

• The workflow is complete when docmason sync-adapters --json succeeds or returns a clear unsupported-target or metadata-validation failure that the main agent can surface directly.

Notes

• DocMason currently supports the Claude target only.
• Generated adapters are local derived artifacts and should not be hand-maintained.
• The committed .claude/CLAUDE.md is the sole Claude project-memory entry file in this repo.
• Adapter sync refreshes the generated adapters/claude/project-memory.md and adapters/claude/workflow-routing.md files that .claude/CLAUDE.md can import.
• Adapter sync also refreshes the repo-local .claude/skills/ thin shim layer instead of relying on a hand-created symlink to the full repo skills tree.
• Use this workflow when the chosen agent ecosystem actually depends on generated adapter files, not as a reflex before every workflow.
