sync-pull

A configuration restore tool that downloads Claude Code settings from a GitHub backup repository onto the current computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restore or switch configuration profiles, preview changes with a dry run, or include optional global settings.
Why use it?
It backs up current settings, applies shared and profile-specific files, and checks JSON files so a restored setup is less likely to overwrite working configuration incorrectly.

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 B, and why

sync-pull scanned grade B 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 3d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Config Sync Pull

Pull configuration from your GitHub backup repo and apply it to the local machine.

What happens

  1. Backup — Current local config is backed up to plugin data directory (timestamped, keeps last 10)
  2. Apply shared — Files from shared/ directory are applied first (base layer)
  3. Apply profile — Profile-specific files overlay on top (overrides shared where both exist)
  4. Apply global — User-level settings from global/ are applied to ~/.claude/
  5. Verify — JSON config files are validated for correct syntax

Instructions

Parse user arguments and run the pull script:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sync-pull.sh" [OPTIONS]

Options:

  • --profile NAME — Pull a specific profile (default: active profile)
  • --dry-run — Show what would be applied without writing any files
  • --no-backup — Skip backup step (use with caution)
  • --yes / -y — Skip confirmation prompt (auto-approve)
  • --include-global — Also pull ~/.claude/settings.json (global settings are opt-in)

Profile switching

If the user specifies a different profile than their current one, this effectively switches their setup. Let them know which profile they're switching from/to.

After pull

Tell the user:

  • How many files were applied
  • Any validation warnings
  • That a backup was created (and where)
  • They may need to restart Claude Code for some settings to take effect

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-pull is a skill published in the GitHub repository rohithzr/claudebase (18 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 467 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
