Claude-skill-registry instruction-manager

Manages and synchronizes AI instructions (global and project-level) across various tools (Gemini, Claude, Copilot, etc.). Use this skill when you need to: (1) Sync `templates/global-instructions/master.md` to all tool headers, (2) Generate or update `PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` in a directory, (3) Update sub-agent instructions, or (4) Maintain consistency in AI behavioral guidelines.

Instruction Manager

Orchestrates the synchronization of instruction templates to ensure consistent AI behavior across different platforms and projects.

Overview

The

instruction-manager

skill provides a unified workflow for maintaining the complex hierarchy of AI instructions used in this environment. It ensures that changes made to core principles in "Master" templates are correctly propagated to platform-specific configuration files.

Workflow: Global Instruction Sync

Use this workflow when you update core behavioral principles in the master template.

Edit Master Template: Modify
```
templates/global-instructions/master.md
```
.

Run Sync Script:

./scripts/update-global-instructions.sh --system=all

```
--system
```
:
```
gemini
```
,
```
claude
```
,
```
copilot
```
,
```
opencode
```
, or
```
all
```
.
```
--dry-run
```
: Show what would be updated without making changes.

Verify Changes: Check the target files (e.g.,
```
gemini/.gemini/GEMINI.md
```
,
```
claude/.claude/CLAUDE.md
```
) to ensure the sync was successful.

SECTION Syntax (Inclusion/Exclusion)

Use SECTION markers to include/exclude content for specific systems:

<!-- SECTION:name:START:system1,system2 -->
Content for system1 and system2 only
<!-- SECTION:name:END -->

<!-- SECTION:name:START:!copilot -->
Content for all systems EXCEPT copilot
<!-- SECTION:name:END -->

Include list:
```
copilot,claude
```
— only those systems see this block
Exclude prefix:
```
!copilot
```
— all systems EXCEPT copilot see this block

Works in both global instructions (

templates/global-instructions/master.md

) and subagent masters (

templates/subagents/master/*.md

Workflow: Project Initialization

Use this workflow when starting a new project or updating instructions for an existing one.

Generate Instructions:

./scripts/generate-project-instructions.sh [path/to/project]

Update Existing:

./scripts/generate-project-instructions.sh --update --force --set-technologies="React, TypeScript" .

This generates

.claude/CLAUDE.md

.gemini/GEMINI.md

, and

AGENTS.md

based on

templates/PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.template.md

Workflow: Sub-Agent Management

Use this workflow when modifying specialized sub-agent (Planner, Reviewer, etc.) behaviors.

Edit Agent Master: Modify files in
```
templates/subagents/master/
```
(e.g.,
```
planner.md
```
). Use SECTION markers for platform-specific content.

Sync Agents:

./scripts/update-subagents.sh --agent=all --system=all

--agent

planner

reviewer

implementer

coordinator

prompt-creator

, or

all

```
--system
```
:
```
copilot
```
,
```
opencode
```
,
```
claude
```
, or
```
all
```
.
```
--dry-run
```
: Show what would be updated without making changes.

Resources

scripts/

The skill leverages the following root-level scripts:

```
update-global-instructions.sh
```
: Syncs global master to platform headers.
```
generate-project-instructions.sh
```
: Scaffolds project-specific context.
```
update-subagents.sh
```
: Populates sub-agent instruction files.
```
validate-subagents.sh
```
: Checks consistency between agent platforms.

references/

```
templates/global-instructions/metadata.json
```
: Defines target paths and header requirements for each tool.
```
templates/subagents/master/METADATA.json
```
: Defines agent names, descriptions, and platform-specific overrides.
