Sync Claude config to git

Backs up the user's live global Claude Code config (~/.claude) into this repo. This is a project skill of the backup repo, it is not installed globally.

What it touches

Only these paths are ever read (the allowlist lives in sync.ts):

• ~/.claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md, statusline.ts
• ~/.claude/skills/* that are NOT listed in the skills.sh lock file. These are the user's own skills and are mirrored into skills/<name>/.
• ~/.agents/.skill-lock.json, the manifest the skills.sh CLI keeps for skills it installed into ~/.agents/skills and symlinked into ~/.claude/skills. Copied to .agents/.skill-lock.json. Those skills are never vendored here; install-skills.ts reinstalls them from the lock on a new machine.

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, that file (or that whole skill) is skipped.

Steps

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

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

   orphan lines are skill folders in the repo that are not live own skills. A skill "managed by skills.sh" got vendored by mistake: delete it from skills/. A skill "not in ~/.claude/skills" was removed live: delete it, or copy it back to ~/.claude/skills/ if the removal was an accident.

2. Apply the copy:

   bun .claude/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 status
   git diff
   git add -A settings.json CLAUDE.md statusline.ts skills .agents
   git commit -m "chore: sync live .claude config"
   

   Do not push unless the user asks.

Restoring skills.sh skills

bun .claude/skills/sync-claude/install-skills.ts --list   # print the commands
bun .claude/skills/sync-claude/install-skills.ts          # run them

One bunx skills add <source> -g -y -a claude-code -s <names> per source repo.

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 binary, which is large and not tracked.
• To add another top-level file to the backup, add its name to FILES in sync.ts (and make sure it never contains secrets).
