pulling-updates-from-skills-repository

Repository synchronization pulls updates from a central Git repository while preserving your local modifications. This skill fetches and merges upstream changes, handles conflicts, and verifies the merge completed successfully, ensuring your skills library stays current with the latest versions.

The sync process stashes your personal modifications before fetching upstream changes, then reapplies them after merging. This preserves your customizations while integrating new upstream versions, with conflict resolution guidance if your changes overlap with upstream updates.

Yes, this skill triggers automatically when a session starts and new upstream skills are available, or you can manually trigger updates to the latest versions. It handles the full sync workflow—status checks, fetching, merging, and verification—without manual intervention.

You need Git installed, a configured tracking branch, access to both upstream and origin remotes, and the ability to perform stash, fetch, and merge operations. The skill requires read access to the upstream repository and write access to your local repository for updates.

When merge conflicts occur during the sync, the skill provides conflict resolution guidance to help you reconcile differences between your local changes and upstream updates. After conflicts are resolved, it completes the merge and verifies the update succeeded.
