[DEPRECATED] Sync Dev - Use /sync --env

This command is deprecated as of v3.7.0. Use /sync --env instead.

Migration

Old command:

/sync-dev

New command:

/sync --env

Why deprecated? The unified /sync command provides:

Smart auto-detection of sync mode
Better integration with marketplace updates
Simplified workflow for plugin development
Consistent interface across all sync operations

Original Documentation

For reference, the original /sync-dev documentation is preserved below.

Sync Dev - Development Environment Synchronization

Smart environment sync powered by the sync-validator agent

Detects and resolves development environment conflicts including dependency mismatches, configuration drift, pending migrations, and stale build artifacts.

Usage

/sync-dev

Time: 30-60 seconds Interactive: Shows sync status, asks for confirmation before fixes GenAI-Powered: Uses sync-validator agent for intelligent conflict detection

How It Works

The sync-validator agent analyzes your development environment:

Phase 1: Pre-Sync Analysis

Checks local state (uncommitted changes, stale branches, existing conflicts)
Checks remote state (new commits, tags, breaking changes)
Assesses sync risk (low/medium/high)

Phase 2: Fetch & Analyze Changes

Fetches latest from upstream
Analyzes changed files
Categorizes changes (safe / requires attention / breaking)

Phase 3: Conflict Detection

Dependency conflicts (package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml)
Environment variable mismatches (.env files)
Pending database migrations
Stale build artifacts
Configuration drift between local and upstream

Phase 4: Validation

Syntax validation (Python, Bash, JSON)
Plugin integrity check (all agents present)
Dependency compatibility
Hook functionality

Phase 5: Recovery & Recommendations

Provides fix recommendations
Safe rollback if issues detected
Next steps for manual resolution
