Our review

Synchronizes skill metadata to AGENTS.md auto-invoke sections to keep documentation up-to-date.

Strengths

Automatically updates auto-invoke tables when skills are created or modified.
Supports multiple scopes (root, ui, api, sdk, mcp_server).
Provides a dry-run mode to preview changes before applying.
Uses a simple shell script for easy integration.

Limitations

Requires each skill to have correctly defined scope and auto_invoke metadata.
Only works within a specific directory structure (skills/*/SKILL.md).
Needs manual execution of the sync script.

When to use it

Use this skill after creating or modifying a skill to update the auto-invoke tables in AGENTS.md.

When not to use it

Avoid this skill if your skills do not need to appear in auto-invoke sections or if you do not use the AGENTS.md structure.

Examples

Run sync after skill update

I just updated the metadata for the 'example-ui' skill. Run the sync script to update AGENTS.md auto-invoke tables.

Dry-run sync

Run the sync script with --dry-run to show what changes would be made to AGENTS.md files.

Sync only UI scope

Sync only the UI scope AGENTS.md by running the sync script with --scope ui.

name: skill-sync description: > Syncs skill metadata to AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections. Trigger: When updating skill metadata (metadata.scope/metadata.auto_invoke), regenerating Auto-invoke tables, or running ./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh (including --dry-run/--scope). license: Apache-2.0 metadata: author: Alan version: "1.0" scope: [root] auto_invoke: - "After creating/modifying a skill" - "Regenerate AGENTS.md Auto-invoke tables (sync.sh)" - "Troubleshoot why a skill is missing from AGENTS.md auto-invoke" allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash

Purpose

Keeps AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections in sync with skill metadata. When you create or modify a skill, run the sync script to automatically update all affected AGENTS.md files.

Required Skill Metadata

Each skill that should appear in Auto-invoke sections needs these fields in metadata.

auto_invoke can be either a single string or a list of actions:

metadata:
  author: Alan
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]                                    # Which AGENTS.md: ui, api, sdk, root

  # Option A: single action
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying components"

  # Option B: multiple actions
  # auto_invoke:
  #   - "Creating/modifying components"
  #   - "Refactoring component folder placement"

Scope Values

| Scope | Updates | |-------|---------| | root | AGENTS.md (repo root) | | ui | ui/AGENTS.md | | api | api/AGENTS.md | | sdk | sdk/AGENTS.md | | mcp_server | mcp_server/AGENTS.md |

Skills can have multiple scopes: scope: [ui, api]

Usage

After Creating/Modifying a Skill

./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

What It Does

Reads all skills/*/SKILL.md files
Extracts metadata.scope and metadata.auto_invoke
Generates Auto-invoke tables for each AGENTS.md
Updates the ### Auto-invoke Skills section in each file

Example

Given this skill metadata:

# skills/example-ui/SKILL.md
metadata:
  author: Alan
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying React components"

The sync script generates in ui/AGENTS.md:

### Auto-invoke Skills

When performing these actions, ALWAYS invoke the corresponding skill FIRST:

| Action | Skill |
|--------|-------|
| Creating/modifying React components | `example-ui` |

Commands

# Sync all AGENTS.md files
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

# Dry run (show what would change)
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --dry-run

# Sync specific scope only
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --scope ui

Checklist After Modifying Skills

[ ] Added metadata.scope to new/modified skill
[ ] Added metadata.auto_invoke with action description
[ ] Ran ./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh
[ ] Verified AGENTS.md files updated correctly
