## About

# Update Genesis

Check for and apply updates from the Genesis repository.

## Steps

1. **Verify location:** Confirm you are operating in the Genesis directory (`~/claude/genesis/`). If not, inform the user and exit.

2. **Check for local changes:**
```bash
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ status --porcelain
```
If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user and ask whether to proceed (updates may conflict) or abort.

3. **Fetch updates:**
```bash
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ fetch origin main
```

4. **Compare versions:**
```bash
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ rev-list HEAD..origin/main --count
```
If the count is 0, report "Genesis is already up to date." and exit.

5. **Show what changed:**
```bash
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ log HEAD..origin/main --oneline --no-decorate
```
Present the list of incoming changes to the user. Highlight notable updates (new agents, skills, templates, or stack support).

6. **Confirm with the user:** Ask whether to apply the updates. Use AskUserQuestion.

7. **Apply updates:**
```bash
git -C ~/claude/genesis/ pull origin main
```

8. **Report results:** Summarise what was updated. If new skills or agents were added, mention them. If templates changed, note that future generated projects will use the updated templates.

## What is Preserved

The following user-specific files are gitignored and will **never** be overwritten by updates:
- `personalisation.md` -- your locale, output style, and profile preferences
- `environment.md` -- your platform, shell, and path configuration
- `.claude/settings.local.json` -- local Claude Code permission overrides

The `.example` versions of these files (shipped with Genesis) may be updated to reflect new configuration options. After updating, check if the examples have new fields you might want to add to your own files.

## Notes

- This skill only updates Genesis itself, not projects previously generated by Genesis.
- Previously generated projects are independent and unaffected by Genesis updates.
- If the pull fails due to conflicts, explain the situation and suggest `git stash` or manual resolution.
