# pulling-before-work

Policy skill that pulls the current branch from `origin` once at session start
and on explicit re-sync requests. Designed to remove the "edited on stale base"
footgun without trampling dirty work-trees or auto-merging.

## When it triggers

- **Session start** — when `CLAUDE.md` contains the line `pull remote before work` (added by `project-bootstrap` v1.4.0+).
- **In-chat** — when the user says `sync`, `resync`, `pull`, `обнови репо`, `git pull please`, or close variants.

Stays silent in non-git folders. Prints one informational line and exits in:
no `origin` remote, no upstream tracking, dirty work-tree, detached HEAD.

## What it does

`git pull --ff-only` against the configured upstream — never auto-merges, never
auto-rebases, never stashes, never commits, never pushes. On divergence it prints
a warning with manual-resolution hints and exits.

## Prerequisites

None. The skill is a no-op outside git repos and folders without an `origin`
remote, so it's safe to leave activated everywhere.
