Sync Claude

Sync Claude config to git

Backs up the user's live global Claude Code config (~/.claude) into this repo.

What it touches

Only these files are ever read or copied (the allowlist lives in sync.ts):

• settings.json
• CLAUDE.md
• statusline.ts

Everything else in ~/.claude (.credentials.json, history.jsonl, projects/, sessions/, todos/, tasks/, ...) is never read. That allowlist is the primary defense against leaking secrets. A value-shaped secret scan on the copied content is a second safety net: if a key or token ever appears inside an allowlisted file, the copy is blocked and nothing is written.

Direction of flow: config goes live -> repo; this skill itself goes repo -> live (authored here, copied to ~/.claude/skills/sync-claude/ to be runnable).

Steps

1. From the repo root, show what would change (copies nothing):

   bun skills/sync-claude/sync.ts
   

2. Apply the copy:

   bun skills/sync-claude/sync.ts --apply
   

   If it exits non-zero, a possible secret was detected. Stop, show the user the flagged line, and do not commit.

3. Review and commit on main (this repo commits directly to main, no PR):

   git diff
   git add settings.json CLAUDE.md statusline.ts
   git commit -m "chore: sync live .claude config"
   

   Do not push unless the user asks.

Notes

• Line endings are normalized to LF on copy, so CRLF/LF differences never show up as spurious changes.
• statusline.ts is the source. The live status line runs the compiled statusline.exe, which is large and not tracked.
• To add another file to the backup, add its name to FILES in sync.ts (and make sure it never contains secrets).
