sync

sync is a skill for Claude Code from anton-abyzov/specweave. It costs 46 tokens per session (604 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for keeping local project progress and work items aligned with GitHub, Jira, and Azure DevOps. It can send updates, bring in issues, check connection health, and set up a provider.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to push progress to a tracker, import external issues into local work items, inspect sync problems, or configure a tracker connection.
Why use it?
It removes the need to update several issue trackers separately and helps avoid duplicate or missing links between local work and external issues.

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

sync scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 27d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

sw-sync: external tracker sync

Sync is opt-in and explicit. Starting, pausing or completing an increment never calls a tracker; only specweave sync push does (plus close-on-complete, when configured). Go through the CLI, never gh, curl or a provider API directly: the CLI owns token resolution, the rate budget, duplicate detection and the links in both directions.

Commands

Intent Command
Push progress to issues specweave sync push [increment-id]
Preview a push specweave sync push 0042 --dry-run
One provider only specweave sync push 0042 --provider github
Report external changes specweave sync pull [--since 7]
Import issues as increments specweave sync pull --create-increments
Token, account, health, retry queue specweave sync status [--json]
Connect a provider specweave sync setup [--provider github]
Check an existing setup specweave sync setup --validate

sync status exits 1 when anything needs attention.

Providers

Read the provider from .specweave/config.json; never guess. GitHub is first-class. Jira and Azure DevOps are supported and opt-in: push and close are covered, say so before promising more.

Tokens resolve in one order: config, then GITHUB_TOKEN / GH_TOKEN, then the project .env, then gh auth token. sync status prints which one won and for which account. A 404 on write means that account cannot write to the repository: fix the token, do not retry. Check a token exists without printing it.

Rules

  1. --dry-run first when an increment has never synced.
  2. Never edit the issue links in metadata.json by hand; a broken link is fixed with specweave sync push 0042 --force.
  3. Report sync status output as it is when it shows problems; do not paraphrase token or permission errors.

Manual path (no CLI)

There is no manual sync. Update the issue yourself and put its URL in spec.md Problem so the next agent can find 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.
