What Claudebase is

Claudebase is a plugin published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

Installing Claudebase adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.

How to install Claudebase

Claude Code

  1. Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace
  2. Install the plugin: claude plugin install claudebase@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  3. Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.

Claude Cowork

  1. Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
  2. Enter jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
  3. Find Claudebase in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

Inside the source file

An excerpt from plugins/productivity/claudebase/.claude-plugin/plugin.json, shared under the repository's MIT license. Read the full file on GitHub.

Your Claude Code setup is infrastructure. Agents, skills, rules, hooks, memory — these accumulate over weeks of work and represent real investment. Losing them to a disk wipe, or manually recreating them on a new machine, shouldn't happen.

Claudebase syncs your entire Claude Code environment to a private GitHub repo. Profiles let you switch between work, personal, and team configurations instantly. Secret scanning, automatic backups, and multi-machine conflict detection keep things safe.

Install

claude plugin marketplace add rohithzr/claudebase
claude plugin install claudebase@rohithzr

Then restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins.

Update / Uninstall

# Update
claude plugins marketplace update
claude plugin update claudebase@rohithzr

# Uninstall
claude plugin uninstall claudebase@rohithzr
claude plugin marketplace remove rohithzr

Quick Start

/sync-setup          # One-time: create private GitHub repo + first push
/sync-push           # Back up current config
/sync-pull           # Restore config from GitHub
/sync-status         # Compare local vs remote
/sync-profiles list  # Manage named profiles
/sync-config         # View/change settings

> Type /sync to see all commands. Full namespaced form (/claudebase:sync-push) also works.

Why Not Just Copy the Folder?

Examples

Sync between machines

Laptop:  /sync-push               # Push your config
Desktop: /sync-pull               # Pull it down
Desktop: # ... tweak agents, add rules ...
Desktop: /sync-push --force       # Push from second machine
Laptop:  /sync-pull               # Get desktop's changes

Switch contexts during the day

/sync-profiles switch work        # Load work config
# ... deep coding session ...
/sync-push                        # Save work state
/sync-profiles switch personal    # Load personal config

Preview before committing

/sync-push --dry-run              # See what would be pushed
/sync-pull --dry-run              # See what would change locally
/sync-profiles diff work personal # Compare two profiles

More examples

Onboard a teammate

# You: push your team config to a shared profile
/sync-profiles create team-defaults --from work
/sync-push

# Teammate: on their machine
/sync-setup
/sync-pull --profile team-defaults

Recover from a bad change

/sync-pull                        # Restores from last push
                                        # Old config saved to backups/

Three-machine round-robin

Laptop:   /sync-push
Desktop:  /sync-pull && /sync-push --force
CI Box:   /sync-pull && /sync-push --force
Laptop:   /sync-pull              # Gets everything

What Gets Synced

Opt-in: Global ~/.claude/settings.json (--include-global), skills-lock.json (/claudebase:config set sync_agent_skills true — syncs the lock file; prints install commands on pull, does not auto-execute).

Never synced: settings.local.json, conversations, sessions, shell snapshots, logs.

How It Works

           ┌──────────────┐
Machine A  │ .claude/     │──push──┐
           │ .mcp.json    │        │     ┌──────────────────────┐
           │ .auto-memory/│        ├────>│  GitHub (private)    │
           └──────────────┘        │     │  profiles/default/   │
                                   │     │  profiles/work/      │
           ┌──────────────┐        │     │  shared/             │
Machine B  │ .claude/     │<─pull──┘     └──────────────────────┘
           │ .mcp.json    │
           │ .auto-memory/│
           └──────────────┘

When you pull, shared/ is applied first as a base layer, then profiles/\<name\>/ overlays on top. This lets you maintain organization-wide defaults while customizing per context.

Push is blocked if a different machine pushed since your last sync — pull first or use --force to override.

Safety

Configuration

/sync-config show                      # View all settings
/sync-config set auto_push true        # Auto-push on session end
/sync-config set include_global true   # Always sync global settings
/sync-config set machine_id my-laptop  # Custom machine identifier
/sync-config reset auto_push           # Reset to default

Claudebase also registers two lifecycle hooks:

  • SessionStart — quiet diff check (tells you if config is out of sync)
  • SessionEnd — auto-pushes if auto_push is enabled

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
