What it does
Sync is an agent skill from cortex-tms/cortex-tms. Synchronize task files and source-of-truth documents. Update NEXT-TASKS.md, FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md, README, and CHANGELOG to reflect current project state.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: The Universal AI-Optimized Project Boilerplate. A Tiered Memory System (TMS) designed to maximize AI agent performance. Includes an interactive CLI tool and a high-signal… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
- Tasks that involve Technical documentation
Example prompts
- “/sync”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read current state — check NEXT-TASKS.md, FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, package.json
- Update NEXT-TASKS.md — mark completed items, remove stale tasks, add new items if discussed
- Update FUTURE-ENHANCEMENTS.md — sync status markers (Planned/In Progress/Complete)
- Truth-sync source-of-truth files — ensure README, CHANGELOG reflect what actually shipped
- Archive if needed — move completed sprint content to docs/archive/
- Run validation — node bin/cortex-tms.js validate --strict to confirm health
- Show changes — run git diff and present for approval. Do not commit without approval.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e7c79e. 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:
ReadGlobGrepEditWriteBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 310 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash
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.

Questions about Sync
What does Sync do?
Synchronize task files and source-of-truth documents. An agent skill from cortex-tms/cortex-tms. Sync is an agent skill from cortex-tms/cortex-tms. Synchronize task files and source-of-truth documents.
When should I use Sync?
Sync fits situations like: tasks that involve Changelog and release notes; tasks that involve Technical documentation.
How do I install Sync in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add cortex-tms/cortex-tms --skill sync -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/sync in cortex-tms/cortex-tms) 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 cortex-tms/cortex-tms --skill sync -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/sync in cortex-tms/cortex-tms) 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 cortex-tms/cortex-tms --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 the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Edit, Write, Bash.
Does Sync access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Sync safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Sync use?
Sync is published under the MIT 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 310 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Sync?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Sync: Simple English (moeru-ai/airi, 50k stars), Ccb GitHub (SeemSeam/claude_codex_bridge, 3.6k stars), Golang Documentation (unxed/f4, 241 stars) and Simple English (ropensci/ckanr, 104 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Sync?
cortex-tms (a GitHub organization) maintains it in cortex-tms/cortex-tms, which has 180 GitHub stars. The repository holds 6 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
