# skill-sync — skill-sync maintains AGENTS.md auto-invoke sections by reading skill metadata and regenerating action-to-skill mappings. Run the sync script after creating or modifying skills to automatically update all affected AGENTS.md files across your repository scopes.

Install (manual): `git clone https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler`

## SKILL.md

## 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:

```yaml
metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  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` | `prowler/AGENTS.md` |
| `mcp_server` | `mcp_server/AGENTS.md` |

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

---

## Usage

### After Creating/Modifying a Skill

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

### What It Does

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

---

## Example

Given this skill metadata:

```yaml
# skills/prowler-ui/SKILL.md
metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying React components"
```

The sync script generates in `ui/AGENTS.md`:

```markdown
### Auto-invoke Skills

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

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

---

## Commands

```bash
# 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
