icm-sync

icm-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ktnCodes/icm-template. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for scanning a workspace and updating IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md routing files. These files document the workspace structure and help an AI assistant find relevant project information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare documented paths with the files on disk, record new or removed items, and report when the required ICM workspace files are missing.
Why use it?
It keeps the workspace map and navigation instructions accurate after folders, files, or project statuses change.

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

icm-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 4d 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 — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ICM Sync

Scan the current workspace and re-sync the ICM routing files (IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md) so any LLM session can navigate the workspace correctly.

Step 1: Locate ICM Root

Find the workspace root by searching upward from the current directory for IDENTITY.md. If no IDENTITY.md exists, report: "No ICM workspace found. Run /icm-scaffold first." and stop.

Read these files to understand what is currently documented:

  • IDENTITY.md — folder map tree, rules, any stage or project tables
  • CONTEXT.md — routing table, session start protocol, pipeline stages (virtual or physical)
  • CLAUDE.md (if it exists) — model adapter synced from IDENTITY.md

Step 2: Scan the Actual Workspace

List the workspace contents on disk:

  • Note every folder and key file at the root level
  • For each folder mentioned in IDENTITY.md, list its current subfolders
  • For stage folders (if full mode), list each stage's contents
  • For _config/ and references/ folders, list files present

Step 3: Diff — Find Gaps

Compare what's on disk vs. what's documented in IDENTITY.md and CONTEXT.md. Identify:

New items (on disk, NOT in IDENTITY.md):

  • New top-level folders
  • New subfolders inside documented folders
  • New _config/ or references/ files
  • New stage folders (full mode)

Stale items (in IDENTITY.md, NOT on disk):

  • Folder paths in the map that no longer exist
  • Stage folders referenced in routing that were removed
  • _config/ files listed that were deleted

Routing drift (CONTEXT.md references paths that don't exist):

  • Routing table entries pointing to missing folders
  • Virtual stage inputs referencing deleted files
  • Session start protocol referencing files that moved

Status drift (may need updating):

  • Projects or sections marked as one status but clearly changed (e.g., empty folder now has real content)

Step 4: Resolve New Items

For each new folder or file found that isn't in IDENTITY.md:

If it has a CONTEXT.md or README.md: read it to determine purpose. If it doesn't: infer from folder name and contents.

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.
