What it does

Sync Pull is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Use when the user wants to restore, download, or pull their Claude Code config from GitHub onto this machine.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to restore
  • Pull their Claude Code config from GitHub onto this machine

Example prompts

  • “/sync-pull”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/*"), Bash(gh *), Bash(git *), Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Backup — Current local config is backed up to plugin data directory (timestamped, keeps last 10)
  2. Apply shared — Files from shared/ directory are applied first (base layer)
  3. Apply profile — Profile-specific files overlay on top (overrides shared where both exist)
  4. Apply global — User-level settings from global/ are applied to ~/.claude/
  5. Verify — JSON config files are validated for correct syntax

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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(bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/*")
    • Bash(gh *)
    • Bash(git *)
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    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 Pull loads about 465 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~465

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Config Sync Pull

Pull configuration from your GitHub backup repo and apply it to the local machine.

What happens

  1. Backup — Current local config is backed up to plugin data directory (timestamped, keeps last 10)
  2. Apply shared — Files from shared/ directory are applied first (base layer)
  3. Apply profile — Profile-specific files overlay on top (overrides shared where both exist)
  4. Apply global — User-level settings from global/ are applied to ~/.claude/
  5. Verify — JSON config files are validated for correct syntax

Instructions

Parse user arguments and run the pull script:

bash
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sync-pull.sh" [OPTIONS]

Options:

  • --profile NAME — Pull a specific profile (default: active profile)
  • --dry-run — Show what would be applied without writing any files
  • --no-backup — Skip backup step (use with caution)
  • --yes / -y — Skip confirmation prompt (auto-approve)
  • --include-global — Also pull ~/.claude/settings.json (global settings are opt-in)
Profile switching

If the user specifies a different profile than their current one, this effectively switches their setup. Let them know which profile they're switching from/to.

After pull

Tell the user:

  • How many files were applied
  • Any validation warnings
  • That a backup was created (and where)
  • They may need to restart Claude Code for some settings to take effect
