Skill instructions
About Skills are distributed as git branches (skill/). When you install a skill, you merge its branch into your repo. This skill checks upstream for newer commits on those skill branches and helps you update. Run /update-skills in Claude Code. How it works Preflight: checks for clean working tree and upstream remote. Detection: fetches upstream, lists all upstream/skill/ branches, determines which ones you've previously merged (via merge-base), and checks if any have new commits. Selection: presents a list of skills with available updates. You pick which to update. Update: merges each selected skill branch, resolves conflicts if any, then validates with build + test. --- Goal Help users update their installed skill branches from upstream without losing local customizations. Operating principles - Never proceed with a dirty working tree. - Only offer updates for skills the user has already merged (installed). - Use git-native operations. Do not manually rewrite files except conflict mar
