Contacts sync
Sync circle folders ↔ contacts.csv for a dunbar relationship workspace. Run this after you drag a person's folder to a different circle (e.g. 05_弱联系_weak/X → 04_熟人_casual/X) or after creating a new person folder. It detects moves / new / orphan states and rewrites the summary block at the top of each person's .md profile. Trigger words: /contacts-sync, sync contacts, 同步联系人, 同步contacts, 圈层同步.From its SKILL.md

- reads credentialsReads from 1 credential source: `$DUNBAR_ROOT`.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
- runs commandsInstructs the agent to run 3 commands, including `python3 "$DUNBAR_ROOT/sync.py" --root "$DUNBAR_ROOT"` and 2 more.

contacts-sync — reconcile folders ↔ contacts.csv
Backed by sync.py in the dunbar root.
Where's my dunbar root?
This skill works on whatever the user has set as their dunbar workspace. Look in this order:
$DUNBAR_ROOTenvironment variable- The current working directory if it contains
contacts.csvAND at least one0N_*circle folder - Otherwise — ask the user where their dunbar workspace is
User input parsing
$ARGUMENTS containing dry, --dry-run, or preview → run as a dry-run.
Otherwise → apply the changes.
Execute
# Apply (default)
python3 "$DUNBAR_ROOT/sync.py" --root "$DUNBAR_ROOT"
# Or, from inside the workspace:
cd "$DUNBAR_ROOT" && python3 sync.py
# Dry-run preview
python3 "$DUNBAR_ROOT/sync.py" --root "$DUNBAR_ROOT" --dry-run
Output meaning
| Marker | Means | Script behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 🔄 Updates | A person's folder changed circle | Update CSV's 圈层 + 详档 columns |
| ✨ New | Folder exists in FS, no row in CSV | Append a new row (nickname + circle + profile only; other columns left blank) |
| ⚠️ Orphans | CSV row exists, folder missing | Warn only — does NOT auto-delete |
| 🗓️ Date normalized | Numbers/Excel mangled a date | Restored to ISO format |
| ⚠️ Lint | 真实姓名 == 昵称 | Suggest blanking 真实姓名 until full name is known |
| ✅ in sync | No diff | CSV untouched |
When to run
- After dragging a person folder to a different circle — main use case
- After creating a new person folder (
mkdir <circle>/<nickname>/+ writing the .md) - Periodic sanity check
- When the AI notices the user is doing relationship-management actions (e.g. adding several contacts in a row), proactively offer to run
Data contract (important)
| Field | Source of truth | How to change |
|---|---|---|
| 圈层 | Filesystem (which circle directory the folder is in) | Move the folder + sync |
| 详档 | Filesystem (actual .md path) | sync computes it |
| Row existence | Filesystem (folder presence) | mkdir → sync appends; deletion is manual |
| Other 19 columns (phone/Email/tags/birthday/…) | The CSV itself | Edit contacts.csv directly (Numbers, your editor, a spreadsheet UI). sync never touches these. |
Don't
- ❌ Don't bypass sync to hand-edit the 圈层 or 详档 columns — the next sync will overwrite them
- ❌ Don't
mvjust the.mdfile without moving the whole person folder — sync only looks at folder location - ❌ Don't create person folders outside the circle directories — sync won't see them
