Parallel Docs Simplify Sync

SkillDev tools

Runs synapse-docs, /simplify, sync-plugin-skills, and github-pages-sync in parallel for synapse-a2a development workflows. Use when you need doc updates, code simplification, plugin skill sync, and site-docs sync at the same time.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Parallel Docs Simplify Sync skill

Coordinate four independent skills in parallel using the Task tool.

Dev-focused orchestration skill. The canonical source lives in plugins/synapse-a2a/skills/ and is synced to .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/.

  • synapse-docs — documentation updates
  • /simplify — Claude Code built-in code simplification (replaces custom code-simplifier)
  • sync-plugin-skills — plugin skill synchronization
  • github-pages-sync — GitHub Pages site synchronization

When To Use

  • Code and documentation were changed in the same task.
  • Simplification or refactor cleanup is needed while keeping docs in sync.
  • Plugin-skill synchronization should happen in the same run.
  • GitHub Pages site (site-docs/) needs to reflect code or doc changes.

Parallel Execution Workflow

Step 1: Split into four independent sub-tasks

Define one clear objective and divide it:

TrackSkillTypical Scope
Docssynapse-docsREADME.md, guides/, CLAUDE.md
Simplify/simplify (built-in)Recently changed .py files
Syncsync-plugin-skillsplugins/synapse-a2a/skills/
Pagesgithub-pages-syncsite-docs/

Step 2: Launch four Task tool calls in a single message

Use the Task tool with four parallel invocations in one response. Each Task call should use the prompt template below.

# Example: four parallel calls (3 Task agents + 1 Skill)
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="[synapse-docs prompt]")
Skill("simplify")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="[sync-plugin-skills prompt]")
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", prompt="[github-pages-sync prompt]")

Step 3: Wait for all four outputs

All four tasks return independently. Collect results before merging.

Step 4: Merge and resolve conflicts

Apply changes from each track. If conflicts arise, follow the Conflict Resolution Rules below. Run tests after merging.

Step 5: Retry failed tracks only

If any track fails, rerun only that track. Do not re-execute all four.

Task Prompt Template

Use this for each parallel track:

Goal: <shared task goal>
Track: <synapse-docs | simplify | sync-plugin-skills | github-pages-sync>
Scope: <files/areas>
Constraints:
- Keep behavior unchanged unless explicitly requested
- Keep style consistent with repository conventions
- Do NOT touch files outside your track's scope
Deliverable:
- Concise change summary and touched files

Conflict Resolution Rules

synapse-docs and sync-plugin-skills can both modify files under plugins/synapse-a2a/skills/. When this happens:

  1. sync-plugin-skills wins for skill SKILL.md content.
  2. synapse-docs wins for README.md, guides/, and non-skill documentation.
  3. If both modified the same SKILL.md, take sync-plugin-skills output and verify it against the doc changes from synapse-docs. Manually reconcile if descriptions diverge.
  4. /simplify should never conflict because it only touches .py files.
  5. github-pages-sync only modifies site-docs/ and mkdocs.yml. If both synapse-docs and github-pages-sync modify mkdocs.yml, github-pages-sync takes priority because it owns the site build config.

Completion Checklist

  • All four tracks completed: synapse-docs, /simplify, sync-plugin-skills, github-pages-sync
  • Conflicts resolved per rules above
  • pytest passes
  • uv run mkdocs build --strict passes (if Pages track ran)
  • Final diff is coherent and reviewable
