FAQPage Schema

How do I sync local Claude skills with a remote GitHub repository?▼

To sync local Claude skills with a remote GitHub repository, this Skill fetches upstream SKILL.md files and references, compares them to local copies, and updates changed files automatically. It ensures your local skill definitions stay current with the upstream source.

What is the best way to update .claude/skills/ directories from upstream?▼

Updating .claude/skills/ directories from upstream is best handled by synchronizing local skill definitions and references directly from the GitHub repository. This process performs fetch, compare, and update operations to keep your skill set current.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to sync local skill files?▼

Yes, you need the GitHub CLI installed to sync local skill files. The synchronization workflow implements pre-flight checks for GitHub CLI status and repository accessibility before fetching, comparing, and updating local skill directories and reference files.

Can I interactively choose which remote skill files to update locally?▼

Yes, you can interactively choose which remote skill files to update locally. The synchronization process supports both interactive and direct modes, allowing you to either manually select changes or automatically apply all upstream updates to your local skills.

Why does my local skill synchronization workflow lack an update report?▼

Your local skill synchronization workflow lacks an update report because it does not record a workflow log. This Skill solves that by recording a workflow log and outputting a concise update report for every run after syncing references.

When should I use direct mode instead of interactive mode for syncing references?▼

Use direct mode for syncing references when you want to automatically apply all upstream changes without manual review. Choose interactive mode when you need to manually verify and select specific remote skill files before updating your local copies.
