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:
bash
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
bash
# 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),.mdfiles - •SKIP:
node_modules/,data/,*.db,*.log, cache files
Step 4: Update CHANGELOG.md
Prepend new entry with ONLY the new files copied:
