What it does

Gh Skills Sync is an agent skill from akiojin/unity-cli. Sync the gh- automation skills from the upstream skills repository into Codex and project skill directories. Use when the user asks to refresh, check, or pin gh-fix-ci, gh-fix-issue, gh-pr, or gh-pr-check in this repo or the global Codex install. Do not use for updating unity-cli workflow skills; edit those skill folders directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sync-behavior.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Failing and flaky tests. The repository describes itself as: Rust CLI for Unity Editor automation over Unity TCP protocol. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user asks to refresh
Gh-pr-check in this repo
The global Codex install
Updating unity-cli workflow skills

Example prompts

“/gh-skills-sync”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Run --check first when the user only asked for status or when the current state is unclear.
Decide whether to target project skills, global skills, or both.
Run the sync command with any required --ref.
Re-run --check after changes and report what moved.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f45d7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
- Grep
- Glob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
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

Gh Skills Sync loads about 680 tokens when it runs, and up to ~834 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~680
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~834

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob
```

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from akiojin/unity-cli at commit 7f45d7a, republished under its MIT licence (© akiojin). 269 words, ~680 tokens.

gh-skills-sync

Use this skill when asked to update or synchronize GitHub-related skills:

gh-fix-ci
gh-fix-issue
gh-pr
gh-pr-check

Read references/sync-behavior.md when you need details about source selection, backup behavior, or project-vs-global targeting.

Use When

The user wants to refresh the local copy of the gh-* automation skills.
The task is to check whether project and global copies are in sync.
The user wants to pin synchronization to a specific upstream ref.

Do Not Use When

The task is about editing unity-cli skills in .claude-plugin/plugins/unity-cli/skills.
The request is to use a gh-* skill rather than sync it.

Recommended Flow

Run --check first when the user only asked for status or when the current state is unclear.
Decide whether to target project skills, global skills, or both.
Run the sync command with any required --ref.
Re-run --check after changes and report what moved.

Command

Run from repository root:

bash

scripts/sync-gh-skills.sh

Typical Options

bash

# check only (no write)
scripts/sync-gh-skills.sh --check

# update project skills only
scripts/sync-gh-skills.sh --target project

# pin a specific ref
scripts/sync-gh-skills.sh --ref main

Examples

"Check whether our local gh-* skills are behind upstream."
"Update only the project copy of the GitHub automation skills."
"Sync the gh-* skills from a pinned upstream ref."

Behavior

Default source repo: akiojin/skills
Sync targets:
- Global: ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/skills
- Project: ./.codex/skills
Existing destination skill directories are backed up under .backup/gh-sync-<timestamp>/.
Fetch method is automatic:
- Prefer skill-installer if available.
- Fallback to git sparse-checkout so it also works in Claude Code environments.

Common Issues

The wrong target was updated: use --target project or the appropriate target selector before syncing.
The user only wanted a dry check: start with --check.
Updated skills do not appear immediately: restart Codex or Claude Code after the sync.
Use scripts/sync-gh-skills.sh --check after any update to verify consistency.
