To prevent drift during agent sync, run a dry-run sync to verify that user-managed skill directories remain preserved. This detects mismatches between local directories and the catalog without applying unintended edits.

Skill directory drift occurs when manual skill folders outside the sync tool diverge from the catalog. Syncing can risk unintended edits or loss, so drift verification checks integrity to guard against these mismatches safely.

You can verify external skill folders survive an AgentBrew sync by running a dry-run sync. This non-intrusive process checks the existing directory structure to detect and report drift before any actual changes happen.

No, you do not need external dependencies to check for skill folder drift. The process operates with zero dependencies and relies solely on the existing directory structure to verify integrity and report mismatches.

Yes, you can validate that user-managed skill directories stay intact while syncing to all agents. The non-intrusive preservation feature keeps external folders untouched while verifying their integrity against the catalog.

A manual skill directory mismatches the catalog after syncing due to drift between local folders and the central registry. Running a dry-run sync detects these mismatches and verifies directory integrity to prevent data loss.
