Bilateral SYNERGY/UPSTREAM reconciliation across sibling projects. Use when the user wants to sync sibling SYNERGY/UPSTREAM files, compare both sides to surface drift, find reciprocation gaps (entries here but not there, or vice versa), flag stale-aligned rows, detect status drift across sides, surface friction the sibling tracks ABOUT this project (their UPSTREAM-<this-project>.md), or apply a reciprocation batch with --auto-reciprocate. Workflow 3 covers two UPSTREAM pairing modes: shared third-party dependencies AND reciprocal sibling-friction pairs (UPSTREAM-<sibling>.md here ↔ UPSTREAM-<this-project>.md there). NOT for logging entries on this side (use /synergy-tracker workflow 1 (Log a synergy entry)) — sibling-sync compares both sides without writing by default. NOT for upstream → project drift (use /vendor-sync); sibling-sync handles peer-to-peer drift between sibling vp-* projects. Trigger phrases: 'sibling sync', 'compare siblings', 'sync sibling', 'reconcile siblings', 'reciprocation gap', 'sync drift', 'bilateral sync', 'sync SYNERGY', 'sync UPSTREAM both ways', 'auto-reciprocate', 'check sibling drift', 'peer-to-peer drift', 'cross-project drift', 'sibling reconciliation', 'sibling has friction about us', 'what does the sibling say about us', 'reconcile sibling-tracked friction', 'reciprocal upstream friction', 'friction filed against this project', 'sibling follow-up', 'act on sibling drift', 'after sibling-sync', 'follow-up actions', 'what to do about sibling findings'.
Sibling Sync includes pricing or quota commentary; at least one code block. At roughly 6,247 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

From the source SKILL.md
Bilateral reconciliation of SYNERGY-.md and UPSTREAM-.md files between this project and its sibling vp-* projects. Read-only by default — surfaces drift, reciprocal gaps, stale-aligned rows, and status drift across sides without mutating anything. The opt-in --auto-reciprocate flag writes reciprocal entries to the sibling's SYNERGY file via per-entry confirmation.
What this skill does
Sibling Sync is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/sibling-sync/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to sync sibling SYNERGY/UPSTREAM files, compare both sides to surface drift, find reciprocation gaps (entries here but not there, or vice versa), flag stale-aligned rows, detect status drift across sides, surface friction the sibling tracks ABOUT this project (their UPSTREAM-<this-project>.md), or apply a reciprocation batch with --auto-reciprocate.
Who uses this skill
The Sibling Sync Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/sibling-sync/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Sibling Sync skill?
Use Sibling Sync when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the automation area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Sibling Sync" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Sibling Sync skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Sibling Sync is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category. Learn more at /learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
