sync-theme

sync-theme is a skill for Claude Code from IvanLutsenko/awac-ai-agent-plugins. It costs 61 tokens per session (519 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A manual command for synchronizing Claude Code and Codex themes with the current light or dark appearance of macOS. It sets light mode to gruvbox-light and dark mode to sunset-drive, installing those themes if needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to resync both editors immediately, check the detected macOS appearance, and see which themes were written.
Why use it?
It provides an on-demand refresh when the macOS appearance has changed and the editors have not updated. It also reports configuration problems from the synchronization script.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

sync-theme scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Auto Theme — manual sync

This plugin keeps editor themes in step with the macOS system appearance (light/dark). Switching is normally automatic via a UserPromptSubmit hook; this skill is the on-demand trigger.

Run the bundled script. It detects the macOS appearance and sets both editors:

  • Claude Code — ~/.claude/settings.json theme (light → custom:gruvbox-light, dark → custom:sunset-drive)
  • Codex — ~/.codex/config.toml [tui] theme (light → gruvbox-light, dark → sunset-drive)

It also installs the bundled themes on first run (~/.claude/themes/, ~/.codex/themes/) if absent.

Execution & Communication Rules:

  1. First, check if the host OS is Darwin (macOS). If not, refuse to run and output: Error: Host environment is not macOS.
  2. Run the bash command. Ensure you capture stderr.
  3. Run the script and surface any WARN: lines from stderr exactly as emitted.
  4. Treat WARN: <path> malformed, skipped and WARN: <path> not writable as script-reported configuration problems; do not invent different error text.
  5. Response Format: Output a 2-line bulleted summary detailing: Line 1: Detected OS appearance, Line 2: The exact themes written to both files. Do not include conversational filler.
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/sync-theme.sh"

Automatic switching (one-time setup)

Codex plugins cannot declare hooks in their manifest, so register the hook once in ~/.codex/hooks.json (then trust it via ~/.codex/config.toml [hooks.state]):

{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      { "hooks": [ { "type": "command", "command": "bash '<plugin-root>/sync-theme.sh'", "timeout": 10 } ] }
    ]
  }
}

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.
