Library Auto-Push

Library Auto-Push

Owner: FlowForge Implemented: 2026-04-17 (Hive Activation Phase 2 T4) Plist: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.alai.library-sync.plist Wrapper: ~/system/tools/library-sync-wrapper.sh

Purpose

Before this daemon, library.js sync was manual. Result: 26-day-old distributions. Every company ran skills that diverged from the global source.

Now library.js sync --fix runs every 5 min, and immediately after, discover.js --rebuild-index refreshes the search index.

Schedule

• StartInterval: 300 seconds
• ThrottleInterval: 60 seconds (prevents overlap if one run exceeds 5 min)
• Logs: ~/system/logs/library-sync.log (stdout) + library-sync.err (stderr)

Wrapper flow

node ~/system/tools/library.js sync --fix   # distribute skills across companies
node ~/system/tools/discover.js --rebuild-index   # refresh search index

Pre-first-run snapshot

Before the daemon's very first run, a snapshot of every company's .claude/skills/ was saved to:

~/system/backups/library-pre-autopush-20260417-0041/

If auto-push ever overwrites a legitimate company customization, restore from there.

Operation

# Status
launchctl list | grep library-sync
# LastExitStatus should be 0

# Force a run
launchctl start com.alai.library-sync

# Tail log
tail -50 ~/system/logs/library-sync.log

# Current sync state
node ~/system/tools/library.js status

Drift handling

library.js sync --fix will flag company overrides (the company's version of a skill differs from global). Current drift at first-run: 8 items across CodeCraft + Lexicon. This is expected — these are intentional overrides, not bugs. The daemon logs them but doesn't force-overwrite.

If you WANT to force-normalize a company: node ~/system/tools/library.js push <skill> --company <name>.

Rollback procedure

If auto-push corrupts company skills:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.alai.library-sync.plist
# restore from snapshot
cp -a ~/system/backups/library-pre-autopush-20260417-0041/<company>/ ~/ALAI/<company>/.claude/skills/
# or selective restore per skill

Re-enable: launchctl load the plist.

Known issues

• FORGE sync (library.js forge-sync 10.0.0.2) currently unreachable — ~/system/ops/forge-connectivity-debt.md. Auto-push runs OK locally; FORGE deploy waits for network fix.
• library.js sync --fix currently swallows stderr in FORGE path. CodeCraft may want verbose mode in a future sprint.
