sync-setup

sync-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohithzr/claudebase. It costs 32 tokens per session (429 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A setup command that connects Claude Code configuration syncing to GitHub and creates or connects a private backup repository. It also makes the first backup of the current configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when enabling configuration backup for the first time, choosing a repository or profile, or reconnecting an existing setup.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated manual steps of creating a repository, preparing its structure, and uploading the initial settings.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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-setup 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says

Config Sync Setup

Initialize Claude Config Sync by connecting to GitHub and creating the backup repository.

What this does

  1. Verifies gh CLI is installed and authenticated
  2. Creates a private GitHub repo for config storage (or connects to existing)
  3. Initializes the repo structure with a default profile
  4. Performs the first push of your current Claude Code config

Instructions

Run the setup script. Parse user arguments for custom repo name and profile:

  • First argument (if provided): repo name (default: claude-config)
  • Second argument (if provided): initial profile name (default: default)
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ensure-repo.sh" REPO_NAME PROFILE_NAME

Replace REPO_NAME and PROFILE_NAME with the user's values or defaults.

If gh is not installed

Guide the user to install it:

  • macOS: brew install gh
  • Linux: sudo apt install gh or sudo dnf install gh
  • Windows: winget install --id GitHub.cli

Then authenticate: gh auth login

After setup succeeds

Run the first push automatically:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sync-push.sh" --profile PROFILE_NAME

Tell the user what was synced and show all available commands: /sync-push, /sync-pull, /sync-status, /sync-profiles, /sync-config.

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.
