Sync Workspaces with Motoko

Sync Context Lake workspaces with the latest motoko framework (tachikoma skills, schema patterns, etc.).

Workspace Locations

Local workspaces (manual git sync):

  • ~/​working/​coyote
  • ~/​working/​escuela
  • ~/​working/​project-management

Remote workspaces (VM with auto-commit cron):

  • /​opt/​workspaces/​josh/​coyote
  • /​opt/​workspaces/​josh/​escuela
  • /​opt/​workspaces/​josh/​project-management

Motoko source (this repo):

  • ~/​working/​claude-code-apps/​motoko

What to Sync

Tachikoma Skills

Copy from motoko/​.claude/​skills/​tachikoma-*/ to workspace .claude/​skills/:

  • tachikoma-schema/​SKILL.md
  • tachikoma-frontmatter/​SKILL.md
  • tachikoma-structure/​SKILL.md

MCP Config (if needed)

Ensure .mcp.json points to batou:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "batou": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "/​path/​to/​motoko/​batou", "run", "batou"],
      "env": {
        "WORKSPACE_PATH": "/​path/​to/​workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Process

  1. Identify target workspaces - Ask which workspaces to sync (local, remote, or both)

  2. Sync local workspaces:

    # For each local workspace
    cp -r ~/​working/​claude-code-apps/​motoko/​.claude/​skills/​tachikoma-* ~/​working/​{workspace}/​.claude/​skills/
    cd ~/​working/​{workspace} && git add -A && git commit -m "Sync tachikoma skills from motoko" && git push
    
  3. Sync remote workspaces (via gcloud ssh):

    # First push motoko changes
    cd ~/​working/​claude-code-apps/​motoko && git add -A && git commit -m "..." && git push
    
    # Then on VM, pull and copy
    gcloud compute ssh chelle --project=rs-chelle [email protected] --zone=us-central1-a --command="
      cd /​opt/​claude-code-apps && git pull
      for ws in /​opt/​workspaces/​josh/​*; do
        cp -r /​opt/​claude-code-apps/​motoko/​.claude/​skills/​tachikoma-* \$ws/​.claude/​skills/ 2>/​dev/​null
        cd \$ws && git add -A && git commit -m 'Sync tachikoma skills from motoko' 2>/​dev/​null
      done
    "
    
  4. Pull remote changes to local (if remote was updated first):

    cd ~/​working/​{workspace} && git pull --rebase
    

Output

Report what was synced:

  • Which workspaces were updated
  • What files were copied
  • Any conflicts or errors
