What it does

Sync Backend is an agent skill from NVIDIA/Personal-AI-Router, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Refresh services/ from upstream, resolve JSON-RPC drift, update contract docs, rebuild cli-bin, and verify. Use when the backend changed or the user asks to sync dhc-modular / services.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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. The repository describes itself as: Router that virtually distributes inference across connected devices in the home. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The backend changed
  • The user asks to sync dhc-modular / services

Example prompts

  • “/sync-backend”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Change services/ in place. It is the authoritative checked-in source, so
  2. From desktop/
  3. Review
  4. For each changed component, read its README.md / spec.md and the Go
  5. Resolve drift in the bridge and docs, then rebuild
  6. Verify
  7. Commit services/ changes together with desktop integration edits.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4d1892b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Backend loads about 377 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~377

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.

Sync services (backend)

In this monorepo the backend is the sibling services/ tree (authoritative checked-in source). Never invent a dhc-modular/ checkout inside desktop/.

Follow .cursor/rules/service-contracts.mdc and desktop/docs/services-backend.md.

Workflow

  1. Change services/ in place. It is the authoritative checked-in source, so there is no upstream import step.

  2. From desktop/:

    bash
    npm run service-contracts
  3. Review:

    • component version changes;
    • added or removed binaries;
    • missing notification consumers;
    • backend requests the bridge does not call.
  4. For each changed component, read its README.md / spec.md and the Go implementation. Go source is the contract.

  5. Resolve drift in the bridge and docs, then rebuild:

    bash
    npm run build:modular-binaries -- --force
    npm run service-contracts:write
    npm run typecheck
    npm run test:unit
  6. Verify:

    bash
    npm run service-contracts:check
  7. Commit services/ changes together with desktop integration edits.
