Fetch the latest from the remote. Update the working branch or switch to main if the branch is defunct.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈5

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Make sure the repository is up to date- fetch the latest from the remote.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    If the remote branch is ahead of the local branch, pull that in.

    line 10
  3. Distinctive:

    If you are on a branch that is not main:

    line 12
  4. Distinctive:

    If your branch commits are included in the tip of main (directly or via rebase or squashing), switch to the tip of main

    line 13
  5. Distinctive:

    If your branch is behind the tip of main, ask the user whether you should merge that in or move to that.

    line 14

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

The defaults we use are remote=origin, branch=main. However, these may have different values in this project.

Make sure the repository is up to date- fetch the latest from the remote.

If the remote branch is ahead of the local branch, pull that in.

If you are on a branch that is not main:

  • If your branch commits are included in the tip of main (directly or via rebase or squashing), switch to the tip of main
  • If your branch is behind the tip of main, ask the user whether you should merge that in or move to that.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
