# Grimterface: Update Check whether the local copy of Grimoire's Tome is current, show the user what's new, and update safely. ## Workflow 1. From the Tome checkout, inspect state without changing anything: - `git remote -v` and `git fetch` to see upstream. - `git status` and `git log HEAD..@{u} --oneline` to see how far behind the checkout is and whether there are local changes. 2. Read `patchNotes.md` (upstream version if behind) and summarize what's new since the user's version in a few lines. 3. Ask whether the user wants to update. If yes: - Clean checkout, no local changes → `git pull --ff-only`. - Local changes present → explain them first; offer to stash or branch. Never discard user edits. 4. After updating, call out anything that needs a follow-up: new skills to expose, changed `AGENTS.md` conventions, new council members, or migration notes in `patchNotes.md`. 5. If skills are symlinked into a harness folder, new skills are picked up by adding new symlinks — offer to add them for skills the user wants. ## Rules - Non-destructive git only: no `reset --hard`, no `checkout --force`, no deleting local branches or edits. - If fast-forward is impossible, explain why and present options; do not resolve conflicts unprompted. - Respect local mutations: users are encouraged to customize skills, so treat their diffs as intentional.
