    About This Skill

    Eliminate Config Drift and Onboarding Friction

    The Env Example Syncer solves the perennial problem of undocumented environment variables. In fast-moving projects, developers often add new configuration requirements to the source code but forget to update the .env.example file or README. This leads to broken CI pipelines and hours of wasted time for new contributors trying to get the app running localy.

    What it does

    This skill performs a comprehensive audit of your repository's configuration health. It cross-references environment variables detected in your source code against your documentation and manifest files. It identifies:

    • Variables used in code but missing from .env.example
    • Variables listed in docs that are no longer used (dead config)
    • Inconsistencies between Docker Compose, CI workflows, and local setup
    • Hardcoded secrets or high-entropy strings that pose security risks

    Supported Frameworks and Tools

    It supports a wide range of ecosystems including Node.js (Vite, Next.js), Python, Rust, Go, and Java. It scans Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, GitHub Actions, and framework-specific configs like foundry.toml or hardhat.config.js.

    Why use this skill?

    Instead of manually grepping for process.env and checking files one-by-one, this skill provides a structured Sync Report. It automatically generates safe, copy-pasteable patches using industry-standard placeholder conventions, ensuring you never accidentally commit a real secret while fixing your documentation.
