Usage:
  agent-sync --all [--check] [--targets [<names>]]
  agent-sync --skills [<names>] [--agents [<names>]] [--check] [--targets [<names>]]
  agent-sync --list
  agent-sync --help

A selection flag without a value covers its whole dimension: --skills alone
selects every bundled skill, --agents alone every prompt, --targets alone
every detected agent. With a comma-separated value only the listed names are
used. Flags combine: --skills commit --targets claude,pi syncs just the
commit skill into Claude Code and pi. Without any selection flag agent-sync
prints this help.

  --check   dry-run, reports drift without writing anything (exit 1 on drift)

Exit codes: ${EXIT_OK} ok or help, ${EXIT_FAILURE} drift (dry-run) or failure, ${EXIT_USAGE} usage error.`;
