What it does

Pull is an agent skill from sushaantu/boxento. Pull latest origin/main into the current local branch and resolve merge conflicts (aka update-branch). Use when Codex needs to sync a feature branch with origin, perform a merge-based update, and resolve conflicts safely.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Open-source customizable start page. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to sync a feature branch with origin
  • Perform a merge-based update
  • Resolve conflicts safely

Example prompts

  • “/pull”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify the git status is clean or commit/stash changes before merging.
  2. Ensure rerere is enabled locally
  3. Confirm remotes and branches
  4. Fetch latest refs
  5. Sync the remote feature branch first
  6. Merge origin/main
  7. If conflicts appear, resolve them, then stage the resolved files and complete the merge.
  8. Verify with project checks appropriate to the scope.
  9. Summarize the merge, including the main conflicts and how they were resolved.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3209676. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pull loads about 445 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~445

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Workflow

  1. Verify the git status is clean or commit/stash changes before merging.
  2. Ensure rerere is enabled locally:
    • git config rerere.enabled true
    • git config rerere.autoupdate true
  3. Confirm remotes and branches:
    • Ensure the origin remote exists.
    • Ensure the current branch is the one to receive the merge.
  4. Fetch latest refs:
    • git fetch origin
  5. Sync the remote feature branch first:
    • git pull --ff-only origin $(git branch --show-current)
  6. Merge origin/main:
    • Prefer git -c merge.conflictstyle=zdiff3 merge origin/main
  7. If conflicts appear, resolve them, then stage the resolved files and complete the merge.
  8. Verify with project checks appropriate to the scope.
  9. Summarize the merge, including the main conflicts and how they were resolved.

Conflict guidance

  • Inspect context before editing with git status, git diff, and file-level diffs.
  • Decide the final behavior before editing conflict markers.
  • Prefer minimal, intention-preserving edits.
  • Resolve one file at a time and rerun checks after each logical batch.
  • For generated files, resolve source conflicts first and regenerate if needed.
  • After resolving, ensure no conflict markers remain with git diff --check.

Ask the user only when necessary

Ask only when the correct resolution depends on product intent that is not inferable from code, tests, or nearby documentation, or when the conflict would introduce irreversible risk without an obvious safe default.
