Sync Pipeline

Orchestrate a full autonomous sync of plugin-dev against the latest Claude Code documentation and community resources. Every change is committed and submitted as a PR with a detailed report.

Pipeline Overview

fetch → discover → diff → review → worktree → apply → changelog → push → PR

Step 1: Fetch Resources

Run the fetch script to update the local cache:

uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/fetch-resources.py

Read data/fetch-report.json to verify fetch success. If critical resources failed (official-docs, github releases), abort and report the failures.

Step 2: Discover Features

Launch the discovery-crawler agent to analyze cached content:

• Pass it the path to data/cache/ and data/resources.json
• The agent reads cached pages, extracts features, settings, CLI flags, hook events, MCP capabilities, plugin schema fields, and behaviors
• Output: a structured feature map as a markdown report

The agent should cross-reference multiple sources. A feature mentioned in release notes AND docs is high-confidence. A feature only on Twitter is low-confidence and should be flagged.

Step 3: Diff Against plugin-dev

Compare the discovered feature map against the current state of plugin-dev:

1. Read all files in the target plugin-dev directory (skills, agents, references)
2. Identify:
   • Outdated: Information in plugin-dev that contradicts current docs
   • Missing: Features/settings discovered that plugin-dev doesn't cover
   • Deprecated: Things plugin-dev documents that no longer exist
3. Produce a diff report with:
   • What to change and why
   • Source links for each change (which resource(s) informed it)
   • Confidence level (high/medium/low based on source count)

Step 4: Independent Review

Launch the diff-reviewer agent with the diff report:

• The reviewer independently spot-checks claims against the cached sources
• Verifies that proposed changes are accurate
• Flags any changes that seem wrong or unsupported
• Returns an approved/rejected verdict per change with reasoning

Drop any changes the reviewer rejects. Log rejections in the PR report.

Step 5: Apply, Commit, and PR

Parse $ARGUMENTS for --dry-run and --category flags.

If there are approved changes (and not --dry-run):

Step 5.1: Set up worktree

All sync work happens in an isolated worktree:

BRANCH="plugin-dev-sync/sync-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS"
WORKTREE="/tmp/k3m-sync-$$"
git worktree add -b "$BRANCH" "$WORKTREE" main
cd "$WORKTREE"

Step 5.2: Apply changes

1. Launch the patch-applier agent to apply each approved change
2. After each logical group of changes, commit with a descriptive message

Step 5.3: Update plugin-dev changelog

After all plugin-dev changes are committed, update plugins/plugin-dev/CHANGELOG.md:

1. Read the existing changelog (or create it with this header if missing):

# Changelog

All notable changes to plugin-dev are documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).

2. Add a new date section (or append to today's if it already exists)
3. For each approved change that was applied, add a one-line entry categorized as:
   • Added — new documentation or features
   • Changed — updates to existing content
   • Fixed — corrections to incorrect information
   • Removed — deprecated or deleted content

Example:

## 2026-03-28

- **Fixed**: Hook timeout defaults corrected from 60s to 600s
- **Removed**: Fabricated WebSocket MCP transport
- **Added**: 16 missing hook events documentation
- **Added**: `http` and `agent` hook handler types

4. Commit: docs(plugin-dev): update changelog for sync YYYY-MM-DD

Step 5.4: Push and create PR

git push -u origin "$BRANCH"
gh pr create --title "fix(plugin-dev): sync against latest docs YYYY-MM-DD" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<PR body — see format below>
EOF
)"

Step 5.5: Clean up worktree

cd -
git worktree remove "$WORKTREE"

Report the PR URL to the user.

## Validation Results

- `claude plugin validate`: PASS/FAIL
- Skill trigger test: PASS/FAIL
- Agent YAML parse: PASS/FAIL

Dry Run Mode

If --dry-run is passed, stop after Step 4 and print the approved diff report without applying changes or creating a PR.

Target Plugin-Dev Location

The default target is the sibling plugin-dev directory: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/../plugin-dev

Error Handling

• If fetch fails for >50% of resources, abort with error report
• If no changes are found, report "plugin-dev is up to date" and exit
• If claude plugin validate fails after patching, revert the last change and retry
• Always ensure the branch is clean before creating the PR
