Add cloud sync for skills, settings, and memory across machines

Problem
When moving to a new machine, there's no way to sync Claude Code configuration. Everything is local files scattered across ~/.claude/ and ~/.agents/:
- Skills (
~/.claude/skills/,~/.agents/skills/) - Settings (
~/.claude/settings.json) - Plugins (
~/.claude/plugins/) - Memory (
~/.claude/projects/) - Global config (
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)
Manually copying or scp-ing all of this is tedious and error-prone. The workaround is maintaining a dotfiles repo, but that's unnecessary friction for something that should just work.
Proposal
Add a built-in sync mechanism (e.g., tied to your Anthropic account) so that skills, settings, plugins, and memory can be pulled on any new machine with a single command like:
claude sync pull
Or automatically sync on login, similar to how VS Code Settings Sync or browser profiles work.
Use case
- Setting up a new machine (e.g., upgrading laptops)
- Working across multiple machines (desktop + laptop)
- Re-installing after a clean OS install
- Sharing a consistent skill/plugin setup across a team
