SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Large projects and portfolios need a repeatable way to propagate changes, standards, and reusable artefacts across multiple repositories without causing drift or chaotic, manual ad-hoc copies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Git-mediated coordination (L4): Step-by-step workflow for syncing exported artefacts from an upstream repo into 2–5 downstream repos using feature branches, PRs, and CI verification.
  • Specification-mediated orchestration (L5): Manifest-based contracts and a platform orchestrator for automated propagation, portfolio health aggregation, and policy inheritance across 10+ repos.
  • Use Cases: Syncing skills, templates, and hooks from a framework to plugin repos; rolling out harness policy changes across consumers; aggregating enforcement and mutation testing health across an organization.

Quick Start

Identify the upstream exports, create a feature branch in each downstream repo, apply the declared exported artefacts, run lint and CI, and open PRs referencing the upstream change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I synchronize changes across multiple git repositories without causing drift?

To synchronize changes across multiple git repositories without drift, use a git-mediated coordination workflow with feature branches and PRs. You export upstream artefacts, apply them in each downstream repo, run CI verification, and open PRs referencing the upstream change.

What is the best way to propagate harness policy changes across ten or more downstream repos?

The best way to propagate harness policy changes across ten or more repos is specification-mediated orchestration. It uses manifest-based contracts and a platform orchestrator for automated propagation, portfolio health aggregation, and policy inheritance.

How does manifest-based export and import work for cross-repo synchronization?

Manifest-based export and import for cross-repo synchronization works by declaring exported artefacts in an upstream manifest contract. Downstream repos apply these declared artefacts on feature branches, ensuring synchronization satisfies the contract before opening PRs.

Can I coordinate cross-repo changes for just a small topology of two to five repositories?

Yes, you can coordinate cross-repo changes for a small topology of two to five repositories. It uses a step-by-step git-mediated workflow to sync exported artefacts from an upstream repo into downstream repos using feature branches, PRs, and CI checks.

Do I need a platform orchestrator to sync skills and templates across downstream plugin repos?

You do not need a platform orchestrator to sync skills and templates across a few plugin repos. Git-mediated coordination handles small topologies using feature branches and PRs, while specification-mediated orchestration is reserved for platform-level propagation across ten or more repos.

What is cross-repo orchestration for aggregating enforcement and mutation testing health?

Cross-repo orchestration for aggregating enforcement and mutation testing health is a specification-mediated process. It uses a platform orchestrator and manifest-based contracts to automatically propagate policies and aggregate portfolio health reporting across an organization's repositories.
