What it does

Sync is an agent skill from AgentToolkit/altk-evolve. Pull the latest guidelines from every configured repo (read- and write-scope).

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/sync.py`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Self improving agents through iterations. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sync”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Run sync script
  2. Display summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e5bb56. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sync loads about 259 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~259

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Sync Repos

Overview

Pull the latest guidelines from every repo in evolve.config.yaml repos: list — both scope: read (subscribe-only) and scope: write (publish targets). Write-scope repos use a rebase strategy so any unpushed local publish commits are preserved.

Workflow

Step 1: Run sync script
bash
python3 "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/plugins/evolve-lite/skills/evolve-lite/sync/scripts/sync.py"
Step 2: Display summary

Show the script output to the user. If there are no repos configured, tell them they can add one with evolve-lite:subscribe. If there are no changes, explain that everything is already up to date.

Notes

  • Read-scope repos are mirrored exactly via git fetch + git reset --hard
  • Write-scope repos use git fetch + git rebase so unpushed local publish commits are preserved
  • Sync results are logged to .evolve/audit.log

When should I use Sync?

Sync fits situations like: agent Workflows work in your project.

How do I install Sync in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add AgentToolkit/altk-evolve --skill sync -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (platform-integrations/codex/plugins/evolve-lite/skills/evolve-lite/sync in AgentToolkit/altk-evolve) into .claude/skills/sync in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Sync in Codex?

Run `npx skills add AgentToolkit/altk-evolve --skill sync -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (platform-integrations/codex/plugins/evolve-lite/skills/evolve-lite/sync in AgentToolkit/altk-evolve) into .agents/skills/sync in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Sync in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add AgentToolkit/altk-evolve --skill sync -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sync, .gemini/skills/sync, .github/skills/sync and .opencode/skills/sync in your project.

What does Sync need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Sync needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git and python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Sync access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Sync safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Sync use?

Sync is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Sync use?

About 259 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
