sync

Detect files changed outside Claude Code and update CLAUDE.md incrementally.

Use this when you've edited files manually (outside Claude Code) and want to update CLAUDE.md without a full recalibration.

Workflow

1. Check if git repo: Run git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree

   • If not a git repo: Report error and suggest /auto-memory:calibrate instead

2. Detect changed files using git:

   git diff --name-only HEAD                    # Modified tracked files
   git diff --cached --name-only                # Staged files
   git ls-files --others --exclude-standard     # New untracked files
   

3. Filter files (exclude from processing):

   • Files in .claude/ directory
   • Memory files: read memoryFiles from .claude/auto-memory/config.json (default ["CLAUDE.md"]) and exclude any file whose name appears in that list
   • Files outside project directory

4. If no changes detected: Report "Already in sync - no manual changes found"

5. If changes found:

   • Convert paths to absolute paths
   • Write to .claude/auto-memory/dirty-files (one path per line, or dirty-files-{session_id} if session_id is available from the environment)
   • Use the Task tool to spawn the memory-updater agent with prompt: "Update [active memory file] for manually changed files: [file list]" (use AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md per the memoryFiles config)

6. Report summary: List files that were processed

Notes

• Requires a git repository for change detection
• For non-git projects or full recalibration, use /auto-memory:calibrate instead
• The memory-updater agent handles the actual CLAUDE.md updates
