cross-layer-sync

A synchronization checklist for changes that affect a backend, frontend, documentation, or other connected layers of an application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing API routes or data structures, frontend-backend communication, configuration meaning, user-facing messages, documentation, or deployment processes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one part of an application from being updated while related API, data-flow, configuration, or documentation changes are missed.

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

cross-layer-sync 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 2d 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.

Cross-Layer Synchronization Check Skill

Checklist for ensuring all impacted layers are updated together when changes affect multiple parts of the application.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when changes affect:

  • API contracts, routes, request/response structures
  • Frontend-backend data flow
  • Configuration semantics
  • Documentation that reflects runtime behavior
  • User-facing text or error messages
  • Deployment or build processes

Core Principle

Changes must be atomic across layers: When a change affects multiple layers (backend, frontend, docs, skill API reference), all impacted layers must be updated in the same PR/commit.

Prerequisites

Before running this checklist:

  1. Identify which layers your change touches
  2. Read AGENTS.md section 9 "Cross-layer synchronization"
  3. Review CONTRIBUTING.md for cross-layer sync requirements

Backend → Frontend Sync Checklist

When backend changes affect:

API contracts
  • Updated route paths in frontend (webs/src/api/)
  • Updated request payload structures
  • Updated response handling
  • Updated error handling
  • Updated TypeScript types (if applicable)
Fields
  • Updated field names in frontend requests
  • Updated field validation
  • Updated form components (webs/src/views/)
  • Updated display logic
Permissions
  • Updated permission checks in frontend
  • Updated UI visibility logic
  • Updated route guards
Response structures
  • Updated response parsing
  • Updated state management
  • Updated display components
  • Updated loading/error states
Task results or notifications
  • Updated task result rendering
  • Updated notification display
  • Added i18n keys if needed (webs/src/i18n/locales/)
Skill API (if /api/v1/* or /c/* changed)
  • Updated skill-sublinkpro/reference/api.md endpoint documentation
  • Updated skill-sublinkpro/SKILL.md workflow descriptions (if affected)
  • Updated request/response examples
  • Updated error handling examples

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.

cross-layer-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository ZeroDeng01/sublinkPro (1,605 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,749 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
