FAQPage Schema
How do I synchronize project files with canonical templates?▼

To synchronize project files, run the skill in 'sync' mode to automatically inject updates for missing or stale files, correcting legacy path migrations and maintaining project consistency with defined templates.

What is the best way to check for missing configuration files in a project?▼

The best way to check for missing configuration files is running the skill in 'check' mode, which reports file statuses like OK, MISSING, or STALE without applying updates, ensuring your project structure remains intact.

How do I migrate legacy file paths to their canonical locations?▼

Migrating legacy file paths to canonical locations is handled during synchronization, where the skill identifies misplaced files and directories and moves them to their correct positions within the project template structure.

Can I initialize an artifact store when updating project templates?▼

Yes, you can initialize an artifact store during the synchronization process, which ensures the artifact store is properly set up alongside applying template updates and correcting stale project files.

When do I need to update project configuration files like .gitignore or CLAUDE.md?▼

You need to update project configuration files after a template update or when joining an existing project, ensuring all necessary files like .gitignore, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md are present and correctly structured.

Does file synchronization require any external dependencies?▼

No external dependencies are required, as the skill operates independently using its internal scripts and references to identify stale files, apply updates, and handle legacy path migrations without third-party tools.
