pull

Pull latest for current repo and shared memory.

Note: /activity auto-syncs. Use /pull only when you need to sync without viewing activity.

When to invoke

User says: "/pull", "pull latest", "sync my branch", "get the latest changes", "update memory", or needs to sync without also viewing activity. Not this: also want to see recent activity → /activity (auto-syncs already).

Loom routing

Skip this section if your prompt contains LOOM-EXECUTOR — you are the executor; run the skill as specced below. Full protocol: .claude/context/loom.md.

1. Resolve: ROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh route pull), then DECISION_ID=$(printf '%s\n' "$ROUTE" | jq -r '.decision_id // empty').
2. If mode ≠ delegate, or the user signalled depth ("deep", "think hard", --deep) → run this skill inline as normal. On a depth override, print bash bin/loom.sh footer pull --override after the output and set "override":true in telemetry.
3. Otherwise delegate: spawn the Agent tool with subagent_type: "loom-executor", model = the route's tier, prompt = LOOM-DECISION-ID: $DECISION_ID on its own first line, then LOOM-EXECUTOR: Execute .claude/skills/pull/SKILL.md, plus the user's arguments and any context the spec needs from the session. Print the executor's final output verbatim, then print the output of bash bin/loom.sh footer pull.
4. If the spawn fails or the executor's first line is LOW_CONFIDENCE: — triage the reason: needs-user-interaction or a main-loop-only tool → take over and finish this skill inline (no escalation); genuine uncertainty or failure → reassign ROUTE=$(bash bin/loom.sh escalate pull "<reason>"), refresh DECISION_ID from ROUTE, then re-spawn once on the new tier carrying the returned decision ID (sticky for this session).
5. Telemetry (fire-and-forget): bash bin/telemetry.sh emit "command" '{"command":"pull","routed":true,"mode":"delegate","model":"<actual>","route_tier":"<table tier>","class":"<class>","escalated":<bool>,"override":<bool>,"source":"<source>"}' 2>/dev/null &

What to do

1. Resolve the validated base branch with bin/lib/config.sh → _get_base_branch, then sync it with remote
2. If on a dev/* working branch, rebase onto the base branch (fallback: merge)
3. Check memory symlink exists — if not, derive directory from egregore.json and create symlink
4. Pull memory repo via symlink

Execution

# 1. Update local base branch ref without switching branches (safe for concurrent sessions)
# Pass a managed repo name to _get_base_branch when operating on one.
BASE_BRANCH=$(bash -c 'SCRIPT_DIR="$PWD"; CONFIG="$PWD/egregore.json"; . "$PWD/bin/lib/config.sh" && _get_base_branch "$1"' _ "${REPO:-}") ||
  { echo "Could not resolve the configured base branch; stopping before Git changes." >&2; exit 1; }
git fetch origin "$BASE_BRANCH:$BASE_BRANCH" --quiet

# 2. If on a working branch, rebase onto the base branch
CURRENT=$(git branch --show-current)
if [[ "$CURRENT" == dev/* ]]; then
  git rebase "$BASE_BRANCH" --quiet || (git rebase --abort && git merge "$BASE_BRANCH" -m "Sync with $BASE_BRANCH")
fi

# 3. Memory — derive directory from egregore.json, never hardcode
MEMORY_DIR=$(basename "$(jq -r '.memory_repo' egregore.json)" .git)
if [ ! -L memory ]; then
  ln -s "../$MEMORY_DIR" memory
fi

# 4. Pull memory and capture what arrived
MEMORY_BEFORE=$(git -C memory rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null)
git -C memory pull origin main --quiet
MEMORY_AFTER=$(git -C memory rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null)

# 5. Show what arrived in memory (new/changed files since last pull)
if [ "$MEMORY_BEFORE" != "$MEMORY_AFTER" ]; then
  MEMORY_FILES=$(git -C memory diff --name-only "$MEMORY_BEFORE" "$MEMORY_AFTER")
  MEMORY_COUNT=$(echo "$MEMORY_FILES" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
fi

Output

Show what arrived — don't leave the user wondering if things synced:

Pulling...
  configured base ↓ 3 commits → synced
  dev/oz/...      ✓ rebased onto configured base
