overlay-sync

overlay-sync is a command for coding agents from markdavidgan/apple-dev-skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A synchronization workflow for regenerating this project’s configured overlay skill files from .claude/apple-overlays.json.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update engine-specific skill files in Apple-development projects, or to check for mismatches in continuous integration.
Why use it?
It keeps generated overlay files aligned with the project configuration while preserving their hand-written sections. A check-only mode can detect drift without writing files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

overlay-sync scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Run the overlay-sync skill on $ARGUMENTS.

Reads .claude/apple-overlays.json, finds each declared engine's shipped overlay template, fills it from the project bindings, and regenerates .claude/skills/<prefix>-<engine>/SKILL.md — managed region only, preserving hand-written tails. Idempotent and safe to run any number of times in any Apple-development project. --check makes no writes and exits non-zero if committed overlays have drifted.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
