config-sync-cli-workflow
Orchestrate multi-target CLI configuration synchronization using config-sync phase runners and planners.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The config-sync-cli-workflow is a specialized Claude skill designed to orchestrate multi-target CLI configuration synchronization through a structured, phase-based pipeline. It solves the problem of configuration drift and manual errors in complex environments by providing a deterministic workflow that includes automated planning, backup, execution, and verification. This skill is essential for maintaining consistency across diverse toolchains and environments while ensuring operational safety through rigorous validation and audit logs.
Use Cases
- Multi-Environment Consistency: Synchronize CLI tool configurations across development, staging, and production environments to ensure all targets maintain the same operational state.
- Automated Infrastructure Updates: Execute complex configuration rollouts across multiple remote targets using a predefined sequence of collect, analyze, and execute phases.
- Safe Configuration Auditing: Use the built-in planning and verification phases to preview changes and validate results, minimizing the risk of misconfiguration in critical systems.
- Disaster Recovery and Rollback: Automatically generate backups before any write operations, allowing for rapid restoration of CLI settings if a synchronization phase fails.

Purpose
Drive the multi-target config-sync CLI workflow using the defined phase pipeline with consistent backup and audit behavior.
IO Semantics
Input: CLI arguments, settings.json parameters, existing plan files, target tool configuration directories.
Output: Execution plans, phase execution metadata, run logs, and backup records.
Side Effects: Writes plan files, creates backups under backup directories, updates target configuration files when write phases execute.
Deterministic Steps
Parameter Normalization
- Read CLI arguments and merge with settings.json.
- Resolve target list and component selection.
Plan Creation or Loading
- Create a new plan describing collect, analyze, plan, prepare, adapt, execute, verify, cleanup, report phases; or load an existing plan file.
Phase Execution
- Run collect and analyze to discover current configuration state.
- Run plan and prepare to build and validate the execution plan, including backup locations.
- Run adapt and execute to apply changes for selected targets and components.
- Run verify, cleanup, and report to validate results, manage temporary artifacts, and emit summaries.
Result Persistence
- Persist plan updates, run metadata, and logs into backup directories.
