Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00042 | $0.02800 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01400 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00560 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00280 |
Grade A, and why
skaffold-filesync 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 2d 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.

Skaffold File Sync
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use a sibling Skaffold/container skill instead when... |
|---|---|
Configuring Skaffold sync rules (manual / infer / auto) |
Wiring OrbStack networking or Ingress (skaffold-orbstack) |
| Optimizing the inner edit -> running-container loop for hot reload | Adding pre-deploy test or post-deploy verify stages (skaffold-testing) |
| Debugging why files are not syncing into a running pod | Writing or hardening the Dockerfile itself (container-development) |
Overview
File sync copies changed files directly to running containers, avoiding image rebuilds. This dramatically speeds up the development loop for interpreted languages and static assets.
Without sync: Edit → Build Image → Deploy → Restart Pod → Test (~30-60s)
With sync: Edit → Copy File → Test (~1-2s)
How It Works
- Skaffold watches for file changes
- Creates a tar archive of modified files matching sync rules
- Extracts the archive in the running container
- Application picks up changes (hot reload, file watch, etc.)
Three Sync Modes
| Mode | Configuration | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | Explicit src/dest mappings | Full control, complex layouts |
| Infer | Derived from Dockerfile | Docker builds, simple projects |
| Auto | Zero-config for known builders | Buildpacks, Jib |
Important: Cannot mix modes - choose one per artifact.
Manual Sync
Explicitly map source files to container destinations.
Basic Configuration
apiVersion: skaffold/v4beta13
kind: Config
build:
artifacts:
- image: my-app
context: .
docker:
dockerfile: Dockerfile
sync:
manual:
- src: "src/**/*.js"
dest: /app/src
- src: "public/**/*"
dest: /app/public
With Directory Stripping
Use strip to remove directory levels from the source path:
sync:
manual:
# src/components/Button.js → /app/Button.js (strips 'src/components/')
- src: "src/components/**/*.js"
dest: /app
strip: "src/components/"
# assets/images/logo.png → /var/www/static/logo.png
- src: "assets/images/**/*"
dest: /var/www/static
strip: "assets/images/"
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.

skaffold-filesync is a skill published in the GitHub repository laurigates/claude-plugins (58 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,800 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
