sync

sync is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 68 tokens per session (736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintainer-only check that compares a copied skill guide with its current version from the Dometrain project. It reports differences without changing the local copy.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking documentation drift and reviewing changes before a version update.
Why use it?
It helps maintainers notice when the local guide no longer matches the upstream guide before updating a plugin.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

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.

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

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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/update.sh, scripts/update.test.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Report-only drift check between this plugin's vendored dometrain-grounding baseline (vendor/SKILL.md) and Dometrain's current upstream skill content (github.com/Dometrain/mcp, skills/dometrain-grounding/SKILL.md). There is one upstream dependency and no CLI to upgrade, only vendored prose to diff.

Consumer vs maintainer role split: this skill is disable-model-invocation: true, so it is reachable only by a human's explicit /dometrain:sync invocation, never by the model on its own initiative. check (the only action) is report-only. The --refresh-baseline flag is not skill-exposed; context/update.md documents it for a maintainer to type as a raw bash command in a working clone.

check (report-only, the only action)

Run:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/sync/scripts/update.sh"

The script:

  1. Fetches Dometrain's current skills/dometrain-grounding/SKILL.md from raw.githubusercontent.com.
  2. Diffs it against vendor/SKILL.md (stripping the vendored file's own attribution comment first, since upstream never carries it).
  3. Reports "No drift detected" or shows the diff for manual review.

Never writes to vendor/SKILL.md or grounding/SKILL.md. Direct the user to context/update.md for the maintainer-only integration protocol.

Output

Report the script's exit code (0 no drift, 1 drift, 2 unverifiable) and its stdout verbatim (or a short summary if long): drift present or absent, and when present, point to context/update.md for the next step.

Spoke paths

The context/ files write this skill's directory as <skill-dir>, which is ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}. Put that path in place of the placeholder before running a command. Those files arrive through the Read tool as plain bytes, so a ${…} token in them would reach the Bash tool unsubstituted, and the Bash tool's environment has no CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR to expand it from. Basis: the plugins reference, https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins/manifest-reference#where-each-variable-resolves, verified 2026-10-07; recheck when that table adds supporting files to where a ${…} reference resolves.

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.

sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (28 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 736 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
