What it does
Sync Pstack is an agent skill from udecode/dotai. Set up the pstack plugin in a project through an interview, and keep every pstack project on one pinned tag and one shared AGENTS.md overrides block. Use to set up or install pstack in a repo, sync, bump or update pstack everywhere, list which projects use pstack or have drifted, compare setups, audit a project's skills for drift from pstack (which to cut, fold or keep), change which work runs a panel, architect or an arena without asking ("from now on X runs architect"), or move a workflow lesson, including a…
Its SKILL.md is about 8.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 23 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/block.md` and `references/adapt.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files.
When your agent uses it
- Install pstack in a repo
- Update pstack everywhere
- List which projects use pstack
- Audit a projects skills for drift from pstack (which to cut
Example prompts
- “from now on X runs architect”
- “/sync-pstack”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Discover. Run discover , then read AGENTS.md and the workflow rules it routes through, in full. Nothing is written yet.
- Interview. This is the first step the user sees. Follow the interview: prepare from evidence, always ask about delivery, recommend the…
- Record the answers in .agents/pstack.json, with tag from latest.
- Adapt the project per adapt. Remove vendored pstack copies, settle orphaned skills and rule forks, keep the formatter off the synced…
- Apply. Run apply --dry-run, read the diff, then run apply .
- Verify.
- Deliver by the project's delivery answer. When it commits, the commit body names which runtimes and which of the project's committers gain…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6eb4bd9. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitnodenpxgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, npx and gh, 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
Sync Pstack loads about 8.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,303 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 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,303 words (~8,447 tokens).
“One skill sets pstack up in a project and keeps every set-up project in step with upstream pstack and with one shared set of overrides. Project-only rules never sync.”
