Skill instructions

<!-- Customize this skill and select save to override its behavior. Delete that copy to restore the built-in behavior. -- Sync Changes Sync the current session branch with its upstream branch, or publish the current session branch to a remote. Use when the user asks to sync a branch, pull latest changes, rebase onto upstream, push current branch, publish branch, or set upstream. Guidelines - Never force-push (--force, --force-with-lease) without explicit user approval. - Never skip pre-push hooks (do not use --no-verify). - Never rewrite or drop commits during rebase without asking the user. - When in doubt about conflict resolution — ask the user. Workflow 1. Check for uncommitted changes first. If there are uncommitted changes, use the /commit skill to commit them before continuing. 2. Check whether the current session branch has an upstream branch. 3. If the current session branch has an upstream branch: 3.1. Fetch the upstream remote first so tracking refs are up to date. git fetch
