# Awesome-Copilot Sync Skill

## Purpose

This skill monitors the github/awesome-copilot repository for new releases and changes, comparing against the last time amplihack's integration was synchronized. It detects drift early so the awesome-copilot MCP server config, native agents, and marketplace registration stay current.

## When to Use This Skill

- **Periodic audits**: Check if the awesome-copilot integration is up to date
- **Before updates**: Verify if upstream changes require local adjustments
- **CI/CD gates**: Include in release checks to flag stale integrations
- **Manual checks**: User asks "is awesome-copilot up to date?"

## How It Works

1. Queries the GitHub API for recent commits on github/awesome-copilot
2. Compares the latest commit timestamp against a local state file
3. Reports one of three statuses:
   - **CURRENT**: No new commits since last check
   - **DRIFT_DETECTED**: New upstream commits found since last sync
   - **ERROR**: Could not reach GitHub API or parse response

## Usage

### GitHub CLI Check

```bash
state_file="${AMPLIHACK_HOME:-$HOME/.amplihack}/awesome-copilot-sync-state.json"
latest="$(gh api repos/github/awesome-copilot/commits --jq '.[0]')"
latest_sha="$(printf '%s\n' "$latest" | jq -r '.sha')"
latest_date="$(printf '%s\n' "$latest" | jq -r '.commit.author.date')"
last_sha="$(jq -r '.latest_commit_sha // empty' "$state_file" 2>/dev/null || true)"

if [ "$latest_sha" = "$last_sha" ]; then
  echo "awesome-copilot sync status: CURRENT"
else
  echo "awesome-copilot sync status: DRIFT_DETECTED"
fi
echo "Latest upstream commit: $latest_date $latest_sha"
```

### Output Format

```
awesome-copilot sync status: CURRENT
Last checked: 2026-02-16T10:30:00Z
Latest upstream commit: 2026-02-15T08:00:00Z
```

or

```
awesome-copilot sync status: DRIFT_DETECTED
Last checked: 2026-02-10T10:30:00Z
Latest upstream commit: 2026-02-16T14:00:00Z
New commits since last check: 5
```

## State File

The sync state is stored at `~/.amplihack/awesome-copilot-sync-state.json`:

```json
{
  "last_checked": "2026-02-16T10:30:00Z",
  "latest_commit_sha": "abc123",
  "latest_commit_date": "2026-02-15T08:00:00Z"
}
```
