What is skill-manifest-sync?

A synchronization workflow that applies a repository's recommended list of user-level skills as symbolic links on a computer. A symbolic link is a filesystem shortcut pointing to another file or folder.

Use it to check or apply skill-list changes, register new skills, remove old ones, and handle exceptions across computers.

It keeps local skill installations aligned with the repository and highlights unexpected links or missing entries.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add hxy91819/mason-skills --skill skill-manifest-sync

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hxy91819/mason-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00046	$0.01360
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00544
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00272
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00136

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-manifest-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/sync_skill_symlinks.py, tests/run-sandbox.sh, tests/sandbox-tests.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill Manifest Sync

这是流程类 Skill，默认仅在用户显式调用 $skill-manifest-sync 时运行。

把仓库 config/skill-symlinks.yaml（推荐 user-scope 软链清单）落到当前电脑：创建缺失的软链、修复指向错误的软链、把指向本仓库但不在清单里的软链作为删除候选提示用户，并用本机白名单记录用户确认保留的例外。其他电脑 clone 本仓库后，执行一次即可获得与其他电脑一致的 skill 配置。

与 harness-config-sync 的边界：那个 skill 管多宿主之间的 prompt/skills 收敛（事实源 ↔ 各宿主入口）；本 skill 只管「本仓库清单 → user-scope（~/.agents/skills）」这一层软链，两者互补不重叠。

Skill Path（set once）

export AUTOREVIEW_SYNC="<skill-manifest-sync-skill>/scripts/sync_skill_symlinks.py"

由宿主加载 $skill-manifest-sync 后解析 <skill-manifest-sync-skill>；不要从 project/user scope 或源码 checkout 猜本 Skill 的安装位置。$AGENTS_HOME 环境变量仍可整体替换此脚本所管理的 user-scope 根目录（默认 ~/.agents）。

用法

# 预览本机与清单的差异，不改任何东西；有漂移时退出码 1
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode check

# 执行同步；删除候选逐个交互提示（d 删除 / k 保留并加白名单 / n 跳过）
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode apply

# 非交互（CI、脚本）：删除候选直接删除
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode apply --yes

# 新增本仓库 skill 后登记清单（要求 skill 目录已存在于 common-skills/）
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode register --skill my-skill --note "一句话用途"

# 登记外部项目 skill：项目须已在清单 sources 声明（缺省自动补一条）
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode register --source mattpocock-skills --skill handoff --note "一句话用途"

# 删除/重命名 skill 后清理清单
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode remove --skill my-skill

依赖 PyYAML（pip install pyyaml）；缺失时脚本以退出码 2 给出安装提示。

外部项目来源

清单 sources: 只声明项目名（如 mattpocock-skills），条目用 source: <项目名> 指向它，绝不写机器绝对路径。外部项目里的 skill 约定位于 skills/<bucket>/<name> 且含 SKILL.md，脚本自动定位；同名出现在多个 bucket 视为歧义，保守失败。项目根按序解析：

$SKILL_SOURCE_<NAME>_DIR（项目名大写、- 转 _，如 SKILL_SOURCE_MATTPCOCK_SKILLS_DIR）
$SKILL_SOURCES_DIR/<项目名>
本仓库 checkout 的同级目录 <项目名>

解析不到时相关条目按 stale 报告，不自动 clone。其他电脑只需把外部项目 clone 到本仓库同级目录（或设置上述环境变量）即可复现同一套配置。

报告类型

类型	含义	apply 行为
`ok`	软链与清单一致	无
`create`	清单要求但本机缺失	创建软链
`fix`	软链指向本仓库内的错误位置（或死链）	修复为清单目标
`extra`	指向本仓库但不在清单里的软链	交互提示删除；`k` 写入白名单
`conflict`	目标位置被真实目录或指向其他仓库的同名链接占用	不动，报告后由用户手动裁决
`stale`	清单条目指向不存在的 skill 目录，或来源项目解析不到	不动，报告后用 `--mode remove` 或补目录/clone 项目

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
