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-branch 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 today.

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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sync Branch

Merge one branch into another, handling conflicts and preserving work in progress.

Preferences

Read ~/.claude/skills/sync-branch/preferences.md using the Read tool. If not found, no preferences are set.

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: current git branch, git status, and remote URL (git remote get-url origin). Skip any that fail.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

  • help → display help then stop
  • config → interactive setup then stop
  • reset → delete ~/.claude/skills/sync-branch/preferences.md, confirm, stop
  • anything else → sync branches

Flags

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

  • --no-push — merge locally, don't push
  • --dry-run — show what would happen without executing
  • Positional args: $0 = source branch, $1 = target branch

Help

Sync Branch — Merge one branch into another

Usage:
  /sync-branch                          Merge default source into current branch
  /sync-branch <source>                 Merge source into current branch
  /sync-branch <source> <target>        Merge source into target
  /sync-branch --no-push <source>       Merge without pushing
  /sync-branch --dry-run <source>       Preview without executing
  /sync-branch config                   Set defaults
  /sync-branch reset                    Clear preferences
  /sync-branch help                     This help

Examples:
  /sync-branch main
  /sync-branch main all-demos
  /sync-branch --dry-run main feature/auth
  /sync-branch --no-push develop

How it works:
  1. Stashes uncommitted work (if any)
  2. Updates source and target branches from remote
  3. Merges source into target
  4. Resolves conflicts (preserving both sides)
  5. Pushes target (unless --no-push)
  6. Restores original branch and stash

Current preferences:
  (shown above under Preferences)

Config

Use AskUserQuestion:

Q1 — "Default source branch?" (main (default), develop, custom) Q2 — "Auto-push after merge?" (Yes (default), No) Q3 — "Conflict resolution style?" (preserve-both (default) — keep changes from both sides, ask-each — show each conflict and ask, prefer-source — favor source branch, prefer-target — favor target branch)

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.
