Interactive chezmoi drift check and sync. TRIGGERS - chezmoi sync, sync dotfiles, dotfile drift, chezmoi guard, chezmoi check.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chezmoi Sync (Interactive)

On-demand replacement for the automatic chezmoi stop guard. Run this skill whenever you want to check for chezmoi drift and sync tracked dotfiles.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Check for drift

Run `chezmoi status` and `chezmoi diff --no-pager` to detect drift between the source repo and home directory.

```bash
chezmoi source-path && chezmoi status && echo "---" && chezmoi diff --no-pager | head -80
```

If output is empty (no drift), report "Chezmoi is clean — no drift detected" and stop.

### Step 2: Present drift to user (AskUserQuestion)

If drift exists, use `AskUserQuestion` to show the user what drifted and ask what to do.

**Question 1** (header: "Drift action"):

> "Chezmoi detected N drifted file(s): [list files]. What would you like to do?"

Options:

- **Sync all** — `chezmoi re-add` all drifted files, commit, and push
- **Review each** — Walk through each file individually with per-file choices
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/chezmoi-sync@sha256:cf19ebc80615cf3b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.2f5db1b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
