Watch & Sync

Watch mode, frozen installs, and automatic agent syncing

watchfrozen

`watch`#

Watch for skill file changes and auto-sync across all agent directories.

skills watch [dir] [options]

Option	Description
`-a, --agent <agents...>`	Agents to sync to (default: all)
`--debounce <ms>`	Debounce delay in milliseconds (default: 500)

Uses Node.js built-in fs.watch for file monitoring (no additional dependencies). When a .md file changes in the watched directory, it automatically copies the updated file to all target agent directories.

Examples:

# Watch global skills directory, sync to all agents
skills watch

# Watch a custom directory
skills watch ./my-skills

# Watch and sync to specific agents only
skills watch --agent cursor,claude

# Custom debounce
skills watch --debounce 1000

Output:

👁️  Watch Mode

  Watching: /Users/you/.antigravity/skills
  Syncing to: cursor, claude, copilot, codex, antigravity, ...
  Press Ctrl+C to stop.

  ⟳ 09:15:32 frontend-design changed
    ✓ Synced to 5 agent(s)

Development workflow: Edit your skill once, and watch mode keeps all 42 agent directories in sync automatically.

`frozen`#

Install skills from the lockfile with pinned versions — deterministic installs like npm ci.

skills frozen [options]

Option	Description
`--verify`	Only verify that installed skills match the lockfile
`--strict`	Fail immediately on first mismatch

Modes:

Mode	Description
Default (restore)	Re-clones skills from their recorded sources with pinned versions
`--verify`	Checks whether installed skills exist at their canonical paths
`--strict`	Aborts on first failure (useful for CI)

Supported source types:

•github — Clones from GitHub with optional commit checkout
•private-git — Clones from private Git repos with auth
•local — Verifies local source path still exists

Examples:

# Restore all skills from lockfile
skills frozen

# Verify mode — check without modifying
skills frozen --verify

# Strict mode for CI pipelines
skills frozen --verify --strict

Output (verify mode):

❄️  Frozen Install (verify mode)
  Found 73 skill(s) in lockfile.

  ✔ frontend-design ✓ verified
  ✖ typescript-pro ✗ missing
  ✖ react-expert ✗ missing

  Summary: 1 succeeded / 72 failed / 73 total

CI/CD Integration: Use skills frozen --verify --strict in your CI pipeline to ensure all team members have identical skill installations. Exits with code 1 on any mismatch.
