Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Patching: Reapplies local changes made to GSD workflow, command, or agent files after an update.
  • Conflict Resolution: Intelligently merges changes, flagging and prompting for user input when both upstream and local versions of a file have been modified.
  • Use Case: After updating your GSD environment, you can use this skill to seamlessly re-integrate the custom agent prompts you had previously written, without manual copy-pasting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I restore local changes to agent and workflow files after a system update?

To restore local changes after a system update, you can reapply patches to merge your customized agent and workflow configurations with newly installed upstream files. This process automatically incorporates modifications while prompting for conflict resolution when both versions have diverged.

What happens when both my local file and the upstream update have been modified?

When both local and upstream files have diverged, the reapply patches process flags the conflict and prompts for user input. This ensures your custom configurations are accurately merged without overwriting your manual modifications or the new upstream features.

When do I need to reapply patches to my workflow configurations?

You need to reapply patches immediately after updating your GSD environment. This prevents the loss of personalized configurations by seamlessly re-integrating custom agent prompts and local modifications that were previously written into the workflow files.

How do I automatically reapply custom modifications to GSD files?

You automatically reapply custom modifications to GSD files by running the patch script. This merges your local changes with the updated upstream files, handling direct incorporations and interactive conflict resolution to ensure continuity of your custom configurations.

Can I merge custom agent prompts with newly installed upstream files without manual copy-pasting?

Yes, you can merge custom agent prompts with newly installed upstream files without manual copy-pasting. The patching mechanism directly incorporates your local changes into the updated files, only requiring your input when a merge conflict is detected.

What are the limitations of automatically restoring local modifications after an update?

The limitation of automatically restoring local modifications is that it cannot silently resolve merge conflicts. When local and upstream versions of a file diverge simultaneously, the process halts and requires manual user input to determine the correct merge outcome.
