The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Restart the Vellum assistant and gateway services with branch-aware git behavior.
The user may pass $ARGUMENTS to control branch behavior:
| Invocation | Behavior |
|---|---|
/update (no args, on main) | Pull latest from origin/main (default) |
/update (no args, on a feature branch) | Skip git ops - restart with the current checkout |
/update <branch> | Check out that branch, pull if it has a remote |
/update --pull | Force pull on whatever branch you're currently on |
Ensure Bun is on PATH:
export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH"
Preflight snapshot - capture current state before making changes:
vellum ps
Quiesce with vellum sleep - stop assistant and gateway processes. This is directory-agnostic and stops processes globally regardless of CWD:
vellum sleep || true
Verify stopped - run vellum ps and confirm no running processes. If vellum ps shows processes still running, run fallback cleanup to force-kill them:
vellum ps
Fallback cleanup if vellum ps confirms processes are still running:
pkill -x "vellum-assistant" || true
