What it does

Sync Shadcn is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Autogoal-backed planning, status, review, dashboard, apply, and tracking for upstream shadcn docs syncs into Plate docs. Use when the user asks for sync-shadcn, sync-shadcn status, sync-shadcn review, sync-shadcn dashboard, sync-shadcn apply, a scoped sync-shadcn <feature lane, to sync shadcn docs, audit newer shadcn docs changes, compare ../shadcn/apps/v4 with apps/www, update the shadcn sync baseline, or decide what to adopt, fork, defer, or exclude from upstream shadcn.

Its SKILL.md is about 12k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. It works with shadcn/ui. The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for sync-shadcn
  • Sync-shadcn status
  • Sync-shadcn review
  • Sync-shadcn dashboard

Example prompts

  • “/sync-shadcn”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Establish Upstream Clone And Refs
  2. Create A Run Artifact Directory
  3. Classify Upstream Changes
  4. Produce The Sync Plan
  5. Stop For User Review
  6. Delegate Accepted Implementation Through task
  7. Status Updates

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a860762. 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
    • node
    • pnpm
    • rg
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, pnpm 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 Shadcn loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,855 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~12k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,855 words (~12,208 tokens).
