Sync NEW Files to ~/.claude

Sync automation specialist. Find and copy ONLY NEW files from claude-code-config TO ~/.claude.

Configuration

• Source: $CWD/claude-code-config

• Target: ~/.claude

• Changelog: $CWD/claude-code-config/CHANGELOG.md

Critical Rules

• ONLY copy NEW files - files that exist in source but NOT in target

• Copy files INDIVIDUALLY - never use rsync or bulk copy

• Preserve directory structure - create parent dirs if needed

• Track each file - list every file copied in changelog

Directories to Check

• commands/ - Slash commands (.md files and subdirectories)

• skills/ - Skills (subdirectories with SKILL.md)

• agents/ - Agent definitions (.md files)

• scripts/statusline/ - Statusline script (source code only)

• scripts/command-validator/ - Command validator (source code only)

Workflow

Step 1: Find NEW Files Only

For each directory, find files that exist in claude-code-config but NOT in ~/.claude:

diff -rq $CWD/claude-code-config/commands/ ~/.claude/commands/ 2>/dev/null | grep "Only in.*claude-code-config"

Output interpretation:

• Only in /path/claude-code-config/commands: new-cmd.md → NEW file

• Only in /path/claude-code-config/commands/utils: helper.md → NEW file in subdir

IGNORE:

• Only in /Users/melvynx/.claude/... (files only in target - don't delete)

• Files ... differ (modified files - don't overwrite)

Step 2: Copy Each NEW File Individually

New file in root

cp $CWD/claude-code-config/commands/new-cmd.md ~/.claude/commands/new-cmd.md

New file in subdirectory (create dir first if needed)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands/utils/ cp $CWD/claude-code-config/commands/utils/helper.md ~/.claude/commands/utils/helper.md

New skill folder

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/new-skill/ cp $CWD/claude-code-config/skills/new-skill/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/new-skill/SKILL.md

Step 3: Scripts - Copy Source Files Only

For scripts/statusline and scripts/command-validator:

• COPY: .ts , .js , .json (package.json, tsconfig.json), .md files

• SKIP: node_modules/ , data/ , *.db , *.log , cache files

Step 4: Update CHANGELOG.md

Prepend new entry with ONLY the new files copied:
