Hub Sync

How your CRHQ instance stays updated — skill, agent, and instruction synchronization from CRHQ Hub.

CRHQ Hub is the central management system that keeps your instance up to date. It distributes skills, agent configurations, and system instructions to all connected satellites.

What Gets Synced

ContentDescription
System SkillsCanonical skill definitions — instructions, metadata, versions
System AgentsPre-configured agent definitions — instructions, model, skill assignments
System InstructionsThe global system document (CLAUDE.md equivalent)

How Sync Works

  1. Your CRHQ instance periodically checks the Hub for updates
  2. The Hub reports which skills/agents have newer versions
  3. Your instance downloads the updated content
  4. New versions are created locally
  5. An acknowledgment is sent back to the Hub

What You Control

Hub sync provides defaults, but you maintain control:

  • Custom skills — Your locally created skills are never affected by sync
  • Custom agents — Agents you create are fully independent
  • Overrides — You can edit system content locally; your changes persist
  • Timing — You can check for updates manually or let it happen automatically

System vs Custom Content

Version Tracking

Every sync operation creates version entries, so you always know:

  • When content was last updated from the Hub
  • What changed in each update
  • The ability to see pre-update versions

Tip: If a Hub update changes behavior you relied on, you can view the version history to see what changed and create a custom copy with the old behavior.

Managed Infrastructure

Beyond content sync, CRHQ Hub also manages:

  • Server provisioning — New instances are set up automatically
  • Health monitoring — Your instance reports health status
  • Security patches — Critical updates are distributed through the Hub
