github-sync
Multi-repository synchronization coordinator for version alignment, dependency sync, and cross-package integration. Use for package synchronization, version management, documentation alignment, and coordinated releases across multiple repositories.
Best use case
github-sync is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Multi-repository synchronization coordinator for version alignment, dependency sync, and cross-package integration. Use for package synchronization, version management, documentation alignment, and coordinated releases across multiple repositories.
Teams using github-sync should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Github Sync ## Overview This skill enables multi-package synchronization and version alignment across repositories with intelligent swarm coordination. It manages dependency resolution, documentation consistency, and cross-package integration for seamless multi-repository workflows. **Key Capabilities:** - Package dependency synchronization with conflict resolution - Version alignment across multiple repositories - Cross-package integration with automated testing - Documentation synchronization for consistency - Release coordination with deployment pipelines ## Quick Start ```bash # Synchronize package dependencies across repos gh api repos/:owner/:repo1/contents/package.json --jq '.content' | base64 -d > /tmp/pkg1.json gh api repos/:owner/:repo2/contents/package.json --jq '.content' | base64 -d > /tmp/pkg2.json # Compare and identify version differences diff -u /tmp/pkg1.json /tmp/pkg2.json # Create sync branch gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs \ -f ref='refs/heads/sync/package-alignment' \ -f sha=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/heads/main --jq '.object.sha') ``` ## When to Use - **Package Synchronization**: Aligning versions across monorepo packages - **Dependency Updates**: Coordinating major dependency upgrades - **Documentation Sync**: Keeping README/AGENTS.md files consistent - **Release Coordination**: Managing synchronized releases - **Cross-Repo Features**: Implementing features spanning multiple packages ## Related Skills - [github-workflow](../github-workflow/SKILL.md) - CI/CD pipeline automation - [github-swarm-pr](../github-swarm-pr/SKILL.md) - PR management with swarms - [github-swarm-issue](../github-swarm-issue/SKILL.md) - Issue-based coordination --- ## Version History - **1.0.0** (2026-01-02): Initial skill conversion from sync-coordinator agent ## Sub-Skills - [Best Practices](best-practices/SKILL.md) - [Error Handling](error-handling/SKILL.md) ## Sub-Skills - [1.
