pulling-before-work 1.0.1 -> 1.1.0: step 1b ensures repo-local pull.rebase=true + pull.ff=only (set-if-absent) so manual pulls never create merge commits, matching snolla baseline. Skill's own pull stays --ff-only (aborts on divergence, never leaves repo mid-rebase).
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
AGENTS.mdcontains the linepull remote before work(added byproject-bootstrapv2.0.0+). - 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.
