What is the safest way to merge upstream skill updates without losing local customizations?▼

Safely merging upstream skill updates involves running preflight checks for a clean working tree, selecting specific skills to update, and using conflict-aware reconciliation to preserve your local customizations.

Can I choose which installed skills to update when fetching from upstream?▼

Yes, you can selectively choose which installed skills to update through a user-guided selection process that detects available upstream updates and lets you pick specific branches to merge.

How does conflict handling work when merging upstream skill branches?▼

Conflict handling during upstream merges uses conflict-aware reconciliation, allowing you to manage discrepancies between local customizations and fetched upstream changes before finalizing the merge.

Does updating skills from upstream validate the merge with tests?▼

Yes, updating skills from upstream validates the merge by running post-merge build and test checks to verify the integrity of the updated skill branches.

Why do I need a clean working tree before updating skill branches?▼
