repo-of-repos: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/sync-template/SKILL.md

sync-template is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from raffertyuy/repo-of-repos. It costs 14 tokens per session (3,305 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A tool that brings newer files and changes from a repo-of-repos project template into the current workspace while preserving project-specific content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sync the default or a custom upstream template, select a branch, update safe files, merge mixed files, and record the template version.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of comparing template versions and merging shared improvements. It also reads the changelog and reports what changed.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: user-invocable in frontmatter, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is raffertyuy/repo-of-repos's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on repo-of-repos itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything repo-of-repos configures →

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 C, and why

sync-template scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Sync Template

Pull the latest repo-of-repos template changes into this workspace without overwriting project-specific content.

Overview

This workspace was created from the repo-of-repos template. The template evolves — new skills, improved agents, better docs. This skill brings those updates into your workspace while preserving your project-specific configuration.

Arguments

The user may optionally specify:

  • /sync-template — use default upstream (raffertyuy/repo-of-repos, branch main)
  • /sync-template <github-org/repo> — use a custom upstream fork
  • /sync-template --branch <branch> — use a specific branch

Order of Operations

  1. Check versions — compare local vs upstream
  2. Fetch upstream — clone template to a temp directory
  3. Read changelog — understand what changed and why
  4. Copy safe files — framework files that have no project-specific content
  5. Smart-merge mixed files — files with both template and project content
  6. Update version — write the new TEMPLATE_VERSION
  7. Report — summarize what changed

Step 1: Check Versions

  1. Read the local TEMPLATE_VERSION file at the project root. If it doesn't exist, assume 0.0.0 (pre-versioned workspace).
  2. Fetch only the upstream TEMPLATE_VERSION file:
    gh api repos/<upstream>/contents/TEMPLATE_VERSION --jq '.content' | base64 -d
    
  3. Compare versions. If already up to date, inform the user and stop.
  4. If the upstream is newer, continue.

Step 2: Fetch Upstream

Clone the upstream template to a temporary directory:

git clone --depth 1 --branch <branch> https://github.com/<upstream>.git /tmp/repo-of-repos-upstream

Clean up this directory when done (in the final step).

Step 3: Read Changelog

Read TEMPLATE_CHANGELOG.md from the upstream clone. Identify all versions between the local version and the upstream version. This tells you:

  • What files changed and why
  • Migration notes — special handling needed (e.g., .gitignore strategy change)
  • New files that need to be created locally

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.
