syncing-branch

Standard workflow for all sync operations ('sync branch', 'pull latest', 'get latest changes', 'sync with upstream'): replaces bash-based git fetch/pull/merge workflows—detects fork vs origin, fetches from correct remotes, safely merges with fast-forward checks. Canonical branch synchronization implementation for git-workflows.

Developer Feedback

I took a look at your syncing-branch skill and wanted to share some thoughts.

Links:

The TL;DR

You're at 66/100, which puts you in D territory – there's solid potential here, but the skill needs some structural work before it's production-ready. The good news: your Ease of Use scored well (22/25), which means developers will actually understand how to invoke this. The challenge: Spec Compliance is completely broken (0/15), which is why the overall score took a hit. This is fixable.

What's Working Well

  • Metadata is thoughtful – Your "When to Use" section clearly states what this replaces and when to reach for alternatives like other git-workflow skills. That's smart skill design.
  • Error handling is comprehensive – You've got 7 different error scenarios covered with specific next steps. That's way better than skills that just fail silently.
  • Phase structure is clean – The numbered phases with clear objectives (Parse input → Execute sync → Validate result) make the workflow easy to follow. Good navigation.

The Big One: Frontmatter Is Completely Broken

This is killing your score. Your SKILL.md starts with incomplete YAML frontmatter – the description field gets cut off mid-sentence, and the whole block fails to parse. This alone tanks your Spec Compliance pillar (0/15).

Here's what it should look like:

---
name: syncing-branch
description: Performs syncing branch operations. Use when asked to 'sync branch', 'pull latest', 'get latest changes', or 'sync with upstream'. Replaces manual git fetch/pull/merge workflows.
trigger-phrases: 
  - sync branch
  - pull latest
  - sync with upstream

  - merge-branch
  - rebase-branc...
