# Send Sync to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### rsync Fundamentals

Trailing slash matters: rsync src/ copies contents, rsync src copies the folder itself — this is the #1 cause of wrong directory structures
Always use -avz baseline: archive mode preserves permissions/timestamps, verbose shows progress, compress speeds transfers
Add --delete only when you want destination to mirror source exactly — without it, deleted source files remain on destination
Use --dry-run before any destructive sync — shows what would change without modifying anything

### Exclusions

Create an exclude file instead of multiple --exclude flags: rsync -avz --exclude-from=.syncignore src/ dest/
Standard excludes for code projects: .git/, node_modules/, __pycache__/, .venv/, *.pyc, .DS_Store, Thumbs.db
Exclude patterns are relative to source root — /logs/ excludes only top-level logs, logs/ excludes logs/ anywhere

### Cloud Storage (rclone)

rclone sync deletes destination files not in source; rclone copy only adds — use copy when unsure
Configure remotes interactively: rclone config — never hardcode cloud credentials in scripts
Test with --dry-run first, then --progress for visual feedback during actual sync
For S3-compatible storage, set --s3-chunk-size 64M for large files to avoid timeouts

### Verification

After critical syncs, verify with checksums: rsync -avzc uses checksums instead of size/time (slower but certain)
For rclone, use rclone check source: dest: to compare without transferring
Log sync operations to file for audit: rsync -avz src/ dest/ | tee sync.log

### Bidirectional Sync

rsync is one-way only — for true bidirectional sync, use unison: unison dir1 dir2
Unison detects conflicts when both sides change — resolve manually or set prefer rules
Cloud services like Dropbox/Syncthing handle bidirectional automatically — don't reinvent with rsync

### Remote Sync

For SSH remotes, use key-based auth: rsync -avz -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/key" src/ user@host:dest/
Specify non-standard SSH port: -e "ssh -p 2222"
Use --partial --progress for large files over unreliable connections — allows resume on failure

### Common Pitfalls

Syncing to mounted drives that unmount silently creates a local folder with the mount name — verify mount before sync
Running sync without --delete repeatedly causes destination to accumulate deleted files forever
Time-based sync fails across machines with clock skew — use --checksum for accuracy or sync NTP first
