Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00072 | $0.00838 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00419 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00168 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00084 |
Grade A, and why
desktop-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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Manage Claude Code ⇄ Claude Desktop sync
This skill manages the claude-code-desktop-sync plugin, which mirrors stdio MCP servers
between Claude Code (~/.claude.json) and Claude Desktop's config file, both directions, via a
SessionStart hook. Use it to run a sync on demand, report status, and guide the user through the
steps that can't be automated.
Where things live
- Engine (plugin install):
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../bin/sync_code_desktop.py(${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}IS substituted inside skill bodies;${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}is NOT — only use the latter in hooks.) - Engine (standalone
install.pyinstall):~/.claude/desktop-sync/sync_code_desktop.py - Sync state (per-server snapshot):
~/.claude/desktop-sync/last-sync-state.json - Backups (timestamped, mode 600):
~/.claude/desktop-sync/backups/ - Full reference: the plugin's
docs/SYNC-REFERENCE.md.
Common actions
Sync now: run the engine and relay its report. Try the plugin path first, then the standalone path — whichever exists on this machine:
python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../bin/sync_code_desktop.py" 2>/dev/null || python3 ~/.claude/desktop-sync/sync_code_desktop.py
It is silent when nothing changed. Any output tells you what synced and any manual steps. (Use
python instead of python3 on Windows if python3 is not found.)
Show status / what is syncing: read ~/.claude/desktop-sync/last-sync-state.json and summarize:
the stdio servers (auto-synced both ways), remote servers (need the manual Desktop connector),
and skills (not auto-synced).
"I added a server in Code but Desktop doesn't have it": MCP changes take effect at the next session, or run a sync now (above). Then have the user restart Claude Desktop so it reloads its config.
What this can and cannot do — state this plainly, never over-promise
- ✅ stdio MCP servers (command/args/env) sync automatically, both directions. Relative launchers
like
npxare rewritten to absolute paths for Desktop (which has no shellPATH). - ⚠️ HTTP / hosted / header-auth MCP servers (e.g. a PAT-authenticated
githubconnector) can't live in the Desktop config file. Tell the user to add it manually: Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. - ❌ Skills don't auto-sync (Desktop manages skills in-app) — the user adds them in Desktop's UI.
- ❌ Memory, settings, extensions, and sessions/conversations are not syncable — separate stores / schemas / app-only concepts. Never claim they are shared; give the manual equivalent if asked.
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.

desktop-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository haiggoh/claude-code-desktop-sync (2 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 838 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
