Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Bidirectional sync between a fork project and Foundation_template using git subtree. Pull canonical skills/agents/lessons into the fork, or push contributions back. Use when Caleb says 'run foundation-sync pull/push/status'.Key capabilities
- →Initialize a git subtree relationship for a fork project
- →Pull upstream changes from Foundation_template into a fork
- →Push contributions from a fork back to Foundation_template
- →Show the current sync status between a fork and Foundation_template
- →Handle merge conflicts during pull operations
- →Scan for project-specific language on push and pull
How it works
The skill uses `git subtree` commands to manage bidirectional synchronization between a fork project and an upstream template, handling merges and tracking contributions.
Inputs & outputs
When to use foundation-sync
- →Syncing template updates to a fork
- →Contributing changes back to upstream
- →Checking sync status
About foundation-sync
Uses git subtree to pull upstream changes or push local contributions back, ensuring merge conflict resolution.
Bidirectional sync between a fork project and Foundation_template using git subtree. Pull canonical skills/agents/lessons into the fork, or push contributions back. Use when Caleb says 'run foundation-sync pull/push/status'.
When not to use it
- →When the user needs to sync content without using git subtree
- →When the user needs to perform actions not related to bidirectional syncing
- →When the user needs to push contributions outside the defined subtree prefixes
Limitations
- →Fork contributions MUST live in `skills/contributions/` (root) to be pushed.
- →On push, the skill blocks if project-specific language is found in `.foundation/`.
- →On pull, the skill warns if project-specific language is found in `.foundation/`.
How it compares
This skill uses `git subtree` for a real 3-way merge, preserving fork edits and surfacing conflicts, which is more reliable than a file-copy approach that silently overwrites changes.
