0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Auto Update Skill

You are equipped with the Auto Update Skill. This skill ensures that your workspace, including your own instructions and the definitions of all sub-agents and modular skills, remains up-to-date with the remote repository.

Objectives

Check for updates on the remote repository automatically via a scheduler or upon user request.
Review changelogs or commit messages before applying changes.
Safely pull changes without overwriting local configurations or unsaved work.
Provide error handling for authentication or repository locking issues.

Repository Setup

The workspace is expected to be a Git repository located at the workspace root directory.

Workflow & Actions

1. Schedule Periodic Checks

To run checking updates in the background automatically:

Propose scheduling a checking routine to the user.
If approved, utilize the system's schedule tool. Set it to run a one-shot reminder or a recurring task that calls this skill.
The cron schedule should run periodically (e.g., 0 9 * * * for every day at 9 AM).

2. Check for Remote Updates

When a check is triggered:

Try executing git fetch origin to retrieve the latest state from the remote repository.
- Error Handling: If git is not installed, the repository is not configured, or authentication fails, catch the error and log a descriptive warning (e.g., "Cannot fetch remote changes. Please check internet connection or Git configuration").
Run git status -uno to check if the local branch is behind the remote tracking branch (e.g., origin/main).
Run git log HEAD..origin/main --oneline (if behind) to retrieve a list of new changes.

3. Identify "What's New" & Prompt

Extract the latest list of changes from commit messages or the updated README.md (What's New section).
Inform the user of what is new before updating, focusing on major additions, modifications, or breaking changes.

4. Safely Pull Changes

If the user consents or if configured to pull automatically:

Ensure there are no uncommitted local changes that would be overwritten. Run git status to verify.
- Conflict Prevention: If local files are modified, warn the user and suggest stashing or committing changes first. Do not run git pull if it will overwrite local modifications.
Execute git pull origin main (or the active branch name).
Rollback & Conflict Resolution: If merge conflicts occur, immediately abort or stop. Notify the user immediately with details about conflicting files. Do not try to force changes.
Once updated successfully, reload the workspace skills to activate the changes immediately.
