SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps a project aligned with the central coding-agent-workflow template by pulling updates, migrating legacy configurations, and surfacing drift before changes are applied.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Drift detection: compare project files against the template and highlight differences in CLAUDE.md, .claude/skills, and .agents/skills.
  • Safe update workflow: apply template changes while preserving project-specific customizations and local overrides.
  • Migration assistance: identify and migrate legacy sections or directories (e.g., old CLAUDE structures) to current layouts.
  • Diff preview: present a clear summary of upcoming changes and require user confirmation before applying updates.

Quick Start

Run the /sync command in your repository to review changes and apply updates to align with the template.
