/sync
Author
/sync # sync the current directory
/sync <path> # sync a specific directory
Refresh docs after the project changed — without regenerating everything.
How it works
- Diffs the project against the last
/genesissnapshot (stored in.aether/settings/context.json) - Asks the AI which docs are affected by what changed
- Refreshes only those docs in place — existing sections are patched, nothing is deleted
- Adds new docs if the changes warrant them (e.g. you added an API layer that didn't exist before)
- If
docs.htmlexists, it's rebuilt automatically from the refreshed Markdown — the HTML viewer never drifts from the docs
If no snapshot exists yet, /sync will point you to /genesis first.
Concurrent generation
Both /genesis and /sync generate multiple docs in parallel. The default concurrency is 4; override with:
| Variable | Default | Controls |
|---|---|---|
AETHER_GEN_CONCURRENCY | 4 | How many docs are generated simultaneously |
AETHER_DISTILL_CONCURRENCY | 4 | How many files are distilled concurrently (large projects) |
