A setup guide for SyncPoint, a system for coordinating multiple coding agents in one project.

Use it to install SyncPoint, initialize a project, create or import agent manifests, start its server, and synchronize agents.

It turns the required installation, project initialization, agent registration, and server startup into a defined setup process.

setup — Skill for Claude Code by MIK-HEAL/SyncPoint

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MIK-HEAL/SyncPoint

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/mik-heal/syncpoint/setup

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install syncpoint-ai-skill, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 9 skills.

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	$0.00038	$0.00587
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00235
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00117
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00059

Security

Grade A, and why

setup 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 11d 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.

SyncPoint Setup

You are helping a user set up SyncPoint for AI agent coordination. Follow these steps.

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 20
Git repository initialized

Step 1: Install SyncPoint

Install the core package globally before doing anything else. This is the first action the agent should take when SyncPoint is needed:

npm install -g syncpoint-ai

If syncpoint is not on PATH yet, do not continue until the install succeeds.

Step 2: Initialize the Project

cd <project-directory>
syncpoint init

This creates a .syncpoint/ directory with a SQLite database. To generate a team from a template:

syncpoint init --team pair
syncpoint init --team squad

Available team templates: pair, trio, squad, review-team.

Step 3: Create Agent Manifests

Every AI agent needs a manifest file declaring its identity, provider, role, and capabilities.

Interactive creation:

syncpoint agent init

Or import from existing manifests:

syncpoint agent import ./manifests/

View all declared agents:

syncpoint agent list

Step 4: Start the Server

syncpoint server start
syncpoint server start --port 9876

Sync declared agents into runtime:

syncpoint agent sync

Step 5: Verify Everything Works

syncpoint status
syncpoint agent list --runtime
syncpoint dev status

Next Steps

Create a task: syncpoint task create "My Task"
Boot the agent loop: see /syncpoint-ai-skill:agent-loop
Claim resources: see /syncpoint-ai-skill:claim

Agent Behavior

Only install syncpoint-ai after the user asks to set up or enable SyncPoint.
After installation, verify that syncpoint --version succeeds before continuing.
If installation fails or syncpoint is not on PATH, stop and report the failure.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Port 8765 in use	`syncpoint server start --port 9876`
Agents not in runtime	`syncpoint agent sync`
Database locked	Wait 5s; if persistent, restart the server
Migration errors	v0.2 is a breaking reset — delete `.syncpoint/syncpoint.db` and re-run `syncpoint init`

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository MIK-HEAL/SyncPoint (6 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 587 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
