How do I trigger the template synchronization?

You can invoke the workflow directly by typing the /propagate-templates command in your Claude Code interface.

What is drift verification in this context?

Drift verification runs a check to ensure that the copies in each skill folder are byte-identical to the source, alerting you if any file has been accidentally modified.

What is the primary purpose of the Propagate Templates skill?

It automates the copying of 'canonical' (source of truth) files and scripts to all dependent skills within the Principled platform to ensure consistency.

Which specific plugins are managed by this skill?

The skill manages templates and scripts for the principled-docs, principled-implementation, principled-github, principled-quality, and principled-release plugins.

Synchronizes canonical templates and scripts across plugin skills and verifies byte-identical consistency to prevent configuration drift.

Propagate Templates is a maintenance utility for the Principled development platform that automates the distribution of core templates and scripts across multiple sub-skills. It ensures that every module within the ecosystem uses the most up-to-date canonical versions of documentation templates—such as ADRs, plans, and proposals—as well as shared utility scripts like GitHub CLI validators. By executing a comprehensive drift verification after propagation, the skill guarantees that all distributed copies remain identical to their source, eliminating manual errors and maintaining architectural integrity across complex Claude Code plugin environments.
