Kill Sync Skill

Restart Sync.app to eliminate phantom windows that cause it to appear in Mission Control.

Execution

Run this command:

bash ~/.claude/skills/kill-sync/scripts/kill_sync.sh

Presentation

  • IF Sync was running → report that it was restarted cleanly.
  • IF Sync was not running (killall fails) → report that Sync wasn't running. Ask if the user wants to launch it.

Troubleshooting

  • Sync still appears in Mission Control after kill: The app may have relaunched itself before the open command. Run killall Sync again and wait longer before relaunching.
  • "No matching processes" error: Sync.app isn't running. No action needed.
