SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bash, git.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill keeps a teammate’s shared ~/.claude-style setup in sync with your latest dotfiles paragon set, avoiding slow manual copying and drift between repos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Distributes paragon skills and hooks: Copies and cleans dotfiles/agents/skills/ into <dest>/.claude/skills/ and dotfiles/agents/hooks/ into <dest>/.claude/hooks/.
  • Publishes team-facing CLAUDE entry content: Copies dotfiles/agents/AGENTS.md to <dest>/CLAUDE.md for the destination’s CLAUDE interface.
  • Manages destination settings safely: Copies dotfiles/claude/settings.json into <dest>/.claude/settings.json only when missing by default, with optional overwrite via --settings.

Quick Start

Run the distribution command to mirror your current dotfiles paragon skills into the LinearB team shared repo (by default ~/linearb/skills).

Frequently Asked Questions about distribute

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync dotfiles into a shared CLAUDE configuration tree for my team?▼

To sync dotfiles into a shared CLAUDE configuration tree, this Skill mirrors paragon skills, hooks, and CLAUDE.md from your central dotfiles directory into a destination repository resembling ~/.claude for team members to pull.

What is the best way to distribute CLAUDE skills and hooks to multiple coworkers?▼

Distributing CLAUDE skills and hooks to coworkers involves copying cleaned agents/skills and agents/hooks directories from your dotfiles into a shared destination tree, preventing manual copying drift between repositories.

Can I overwrite settings.json when syncing my .claude directory to a team repo?▼

Yes, you can overwrite settings.json during .claude directory syncing by passing the --settings flag; by default, the destination settings.json is only copied when missing to protect existing configurations.

Do I need bash and git to automate dotfiles distribution for CLAUDE.md?▼

Yes, bash and git are required dependencies to automate dotfiles distribution for CLAUDE.md, as the process executes a shell script to manage file copying and repository synchronization.

How does copying CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills into a shared repository work?▼

Copying CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills into a shared repository works by executing a distribution script that cleans and copies your paragon dotfiles directly into a coworker-friendly destination tree structure.

What are the limitations of automatic dotfiles syncing for team CLAUDE setups?▼

A limitation of automatic dotfiles syncing for team CLAUDE setups is that settings.json is protected from overwriting by default, requiring explicit flags to force updates and avoid clobbering teammate configurations.
