# sync

Re-reads the external sources behind vault entities, diffs them against what is stored and hands the changes off for writing. Useful when your notes have drifted from Confluence, GDocs or GitHub.

## What it does

The skill walks every entity in the vault and collects unique URLs from the `sources` field. It then fetches each source again — Confluence, GDocs, GitHub, Markdown — and runs an incremental diff against the existing entities. Writing is not its job: changes go to `/bedrock:preserve`, which also refreshes `synced_at` on the affected entities.

Two extra modes exist. With `--people` the skill scans actor repositories through the GitHub API and picks out active contributors. With `--github` it looks for activity in repositories and matches pull requests to topics and projects using LLM semantic matching. Sources typed `csv` or `manual` are skipped, since they cannot be synced.

Before anything else the skill decides which vault to work on: via the `--vault <name>` flag, by detecting the current directory, or by falling back to the vault marked `"default": true` in the registry. When none of those resolve, it stops and points you at `/bedrock:setup`. It also runs `git pull --rebase origin main` up front; on a conflict it aborts the rebase and refuses to continue until you sort the conflict out yourself.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub, Confluence

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill sync -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sync/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sync/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill sync -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sync/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill sync -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sync/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install iurykrieger/claude-bedrock sync
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sync/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill sync -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --path skills/sync
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sync/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill sync -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/iurykrieger/claude-bedrock/tree/HEAD/skills/sync/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pull fresh Confluence edits into vault entities
- surface active contributors across actor repositories
- match pull requests to topics and projects
- refresh `synced_at` after a re-sync
- skip sources that cannot be synced

## Example prompts
- Sync the vault with its external sources
- Run sync with `--people` and list the active contributors
- Sync repos with `--github` and match PRs to topics

description: >
  Re-synchronizes the vault with external sources. In default mode, scans the `sources`
  field of all entities, deduplicates URLs, fetches updated content from each source
  (Confluence, GDocs, GitHub, Markdown), performs incremental diff and delegates writing to
  /bedrock:preserve. With --people, scans actor repositories via GitHub API and
  identifies active contributors. With --github, detects relevant activity in
  repositories and correlates PRs with topics/projects via LLM semantic matching.
  Use when: "bedrock sync", "bedrock-sync", "/bedrock:sync", "synchronize",
  "update sources", "sync people", "sync github".

# /bedrock:sync — Vault Synchronization

## Plugin Paths

Entity definitions and templates are in the plugin directory, not in the vault root.
Use the "Base directory for this skill" provided at invocation to resolve paths:

- Entity definitions: `<base_dir>/../../entities/`
- Templates: `<base_dir>/../../templates/{type}/_template.md`
- Plugin CLAUDE.md: `<base_dir>/../../CLAUDE.md` (already injected automatically into context)

Where `<base_dir>` is the path provided in "Base directory for this skill".

---

## Vault Resolution

Resolve which vault to sync. This skill can be invoked from any directory.

**Step 1 — Parse `--vault` flag:**
Check if the input arguments include `--vault <name>`. If found, extract the vault name and remove it from the arguments before parsing `--people` or `--github`.

**Step 2 — Resolve vault path:**

1. **If `--vault <name>` was provided:**
   Read the vault registry at `<base_dir>/../../vaults.json`. Find the entry matching the name.
   If not found: error — "Vault `<name>` is not registered. Run `/bedrock:vaults` to see available vaults."
   If found: set `VAULT_PATH` to the entry's `path` value. Store the resolved vault name as `VAULT_NAME`.

2. **If no `--vault` flag — CWD detection:**
   Read `<base_dir>/../../vaults.json`. Check if the current working directory is inside any registered vault path
   (CWD starts with a registered vault's absolute path). If multiple match, use the longest path (most specific).
   If found: set `VAULT_PATH` to the matching vault's `path`. Store its name as `VAULT_NAME`.

3. **If CWD detection fails — default vault:**
   From the registry, find the vault with `"default": true`.
   If found: set `VAULT_PATH` to the default vault's `path`. Store its name as `VAULT_NAME`.

4. **If no resolution:**
   Error — "No vault resolved. Available vaults:" followed by the registry listing.
