What it does

Brayness Sync is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Sync changes from dev brayness/ to the published git mirror at skills/brayness-sync/published/. Copies skills, extensions, bin, agent docs, and selected .pi/agent config while excluding secrets, sessions, nested .git dirs, and nodemodules. Validates the copy, shows git diffs, and proposes commits. Use for "sync brayness", "prepare release", or after major skill/extension changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`, `references/validation.md` and `references/workflow.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git and npm. The repository describes itself as: A harness for the anxious digital mind. A safe place for creatives to keep their creative soul while exploring digital skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Prepare release
After major skill/extension changes

Example prompts

“sync brayness”
“prepare release”
“/brayness-sync”

Workflow steps

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

Detect - diff dev against the mirror for the copy-list paths;
Plan - show what will be copied and excluded; get approval.
Copy - commands in references/workflow.md.
Validate - checks in references/validation.md (no nested .git,
Review - git diff in the mirror; walk the user through it.
Commit - propose a message; commit only after approval.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f10e2. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, 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

Brayness Sync loads about 889 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~889
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3.5k

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.

Auto-check: notes

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

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.

description: Sync changes from dev brayness/ to the published git mirror at `skills/brayness-sync/published/`. Copies skills, extensions, bin, agent docs, and selected .pi/agent config while excluding secrets, sessions, nested .git dirs, and node_modules. Validates the copy, shows git diffs, and proposes commits. Use for "sync brayness", "prepare release", or after major skill/extension changes.

Brayness Sync

One-way copy: dev root -> skills/brayness-sync/published/ (the git-tracked mirror for releases). Dev has working chaos (nested repos, secrets, sessions); the mirror stays clean and publishable. Every sync is reviewed - no blind sync.

Copy list (source of truth)

Path	Why
`skills/`	skill catalog
`extensions/`	extensions
`bin/`	harness scripts and CLI wrapper
`prompts/`	prompt templates
`package.json`	app dependency + scripts
`AGENTS.md`, `README.md`	agent docs
`.ignore`, `.nvmrc`	repo config
`.pi/agent/settings.json`, `.pi/agent/models.json`	pi config
`.pi/agent/npm/README.md`, `.pi/agent/npm/.gitignore`	add-on signposts
`.pi/agent/extensions`	symlink
`.cursor/skills`, `.claude/skills`	repo-root symlinks (Cursor/Claude Code)

Never copy: .pi/agent/ anything else (auth, trust, caches, models-store, sessions, npm/node_modules), .env*, nested .git/, node_modules/, AGENTS.local.md, plans/, work/ projects, and skills/brayness-sync/published/ itself - the mirror is the target, never a source.

The plans viewer now lives in work/brayness/examples/plan-viewer/ - a product tree the mirror does not ship. package.json still names its scripts, so a published npm run plans points at a path that stays on the dev machine.

Sessions rule: transcripts may contain secrets or personal info. They stay in dev, always.

Workflow

Detect - diff dev against the mirror for the copy-list paths; summarize what changed.
Plan - show what will be copied and excluded; get approval.
Copy - commands in references/workflow.md.
Validate - checks in references/validation.md (no nested .git, no .env, no node_modules, structure intact). Stop on any failure.
Review - git diff in the mirror; walk the user through it.
Commit - propose a message; commit only after approval.

Worked examples: references/examples.md.

One-time migration note

The mirror may still have the pre-2026-08-06 layout (root settings.json, models.json, sessions/, npm/). First sync after the .pi/agent/ move: git mv those into .pi/agent/ in the mirror (or delete root sessions/ - it should never have shipped), then run the normal sync. Show the user this migration as its own diff before anything else.
