Upgrade Boop

About

Your Boop fork drifts from upstream as you customize it — system prompts tweaked, new automations, tuned memory thresholds, etc. This skill brings upstream changes in without blowing away those edits.

Run /upgrade-boop inside the repo from Codex. This is the supported upgrade path: the agent previews the diff, creates rollback points, performs the merge, resolves conflicts when needed, and runs referenced migration skills.

How it works

Preflight: refuses to touch anything with a dirty working tree. If the upstream remote is missing, adds it (default: https://github.com/raroque/boop-agent.git — the skill will ask).

Backup: creates a timestamped rollback branch + tag before doing anything. Printed at the end so you can git reset --hard back.

Preview: buckets upstream changes into categories so you know what's about to land:

• Core (server/) — the dispatcher, executor, memory, automations. High conflict risk if you edited your prompts.
• Integrations (server/composio*, server/integrations/) — Composio wiring.
• UI (debug/) — debug dashboard.
• Schema (convex/) — Convex tables + functions. Pushes happen on next convex dev.
• Scripts / config (scripts/, package.json, tsconfig.json, .env.example) — env vars + deps might need attention.
• Docs (README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, INTEGRATIONS.md, CHANGELOG.md).

Choice: you pick merge (one-pass), cherry-pick (specific commits), rebase (linear history), or abort.

Conflict preview: dry-run merge to show which files would conflict before you commit.

Validation: npm install + npm run typecheck after the merge.

Breaking changes: parses the CHANGELOG.md diff for [BREAKING] entries and surfaces each one. Many breaking changes will reference a migration skill (/<skill-name>) — the skill offers to run those for you.

Summary: prints rollback tag, new/upstream HEADs, and any env-var additions from .env.example you should copy into .env.local.

Operating principles

• Never proceed with a dirty working tree.
• Always create a rollback point (backup branch + tag) before touching anything.
• Prefer git-native operations. Do not rewrite files manually except to resolve conflict markers.
• Default to MERGE (one-pass conflict resolution). Offer REBASE only if the user explicitly asks.
• Keep token usage low: use git status, git log, git diff, and only open files that actually have conflicts.

---

Step 0: Preflight

Run:

• git status --porcelain

If output is non-empty:

• Tell the user to commit or stash first. Stop.

Confirm remotes with git remote -v. If upstream is missing:

• Ask the user for the upstream repo URL (default: https://github.com/raroque/boop-agent.git).
• git remote add upstream <url>
• git fetch upstream --prune

Detect the upstream branch:

• git branch -r | grep upstream/
• Prefer upstream/main. Fall back to upstream/master. If neither, ask.
• Store as UPSTREAM_BRANCH. All commands below that reference upstream/main use upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH instead.

Fetch fresh:

• git fetch upstream --prune

Step 1: Safety net

HASH=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
git branch backup/pre-upgrade-$HASH-$TIMESTAMP
git tag pre-upgrade-$HASH-$TIMESTAMP

Save the tag name. You'll print it in Step 7 for rollback.

Step 2: Preview

Compute base:

• BASE=$(git merge-base HEAD upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH)

Show what's coming:

• git log --oneline $BASE..upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH

Show local drift:

• git log --oneline $BASE..HEAD

File-level impact:

• git diff --name-only $BASE..upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH

Bucket files into the categories listed in How it works (Core, Integrations, UI, Schema, Scripts/config, Docs). Call out high-risk buckets specifically.

Large-drift check: if upstream has many commits and the user has heavy local drift, mention that starting fresh and reapplying customizations might be cleaner than merging. Don't push — offer.

Ask the user with the active agent's user-question mechanism:

• A) Full update — merge all upstream changes (default)
• B) Selective — cherry-pick specific commits
• C) Abort — preview only
• D) Rebase — linear history, resolves conflicts per commit

If Abort: print rollback info and stop.

Step 3: Conflict preview (no commits yet)

If Full update or Rebase, dry-run:

git merge --no-commit --no-ff upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH; git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U; git merge --abort

Show the conflict list. If empty, say "clean" and proceed. If non-empty, let the user bail.

Step 4A: Full update (MERGE — default)

• git merge upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH --no-edit

If conflicts:

• git status → list conflicted files.
• For each file:
• Open it.
• Resolve only conflict markers.
• Preserve intentional local customizations.
• Incorporate upstream improvements.
• Do not refactor surrounding code.
• git add <file>
• When done: git commit --no-edit (if merge didn't auto-commit).

Step 4B: Selective (CHERRY-PICK)

• git log --oneline $BASE..upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH
• Ask which hashes.
• git cherry-pick <hash1> <hash2> …

On conflict:

• Resolve markers, git add, git cherry-pick --continue.
• git cherry-pick --abort to stop.

Step 4C: Rebase (opt-in)

• git rebase upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH

On conflict: resolve, git add, git rebase --continue. If > 3 rounds of conflicts, git rebase --abort and recommend merge.

Step 5: Validation

Run in order:

• npm install — picks up any new deps.
• npm run typecheck — this repo's typecheck. If it fails with errors outside the merge delta, flag it but don't block.

Note: Convex schema changes (convex/schema.ts, convex/*.ts) take effect the next time convex dev runs. Mention this to the user — they need to restart npm run dev for the schema to push.

Note: If .env.example changed, diff it against .env.local:

• diff <(grep -o '^[A-Z_]*=' .env.example | sort) <(grep -o '^[A-Z_]*=' .env.local | sort)
• List any new keys the user should add to .env.local.

Step 6: Breaking changes check

Read the CHANGELOG delta:

• git diff pre-upgrade-$HASH-$TIMESTAMP..HEAD -- CHANGELOG.md

Parse new lines containing [BREAKING]. Format is:

[BREAKING] <description>. Run `/<skill-name>` to <action>.

If none: proceed silently.

If any:

• Display a warning header: "This update introduces breaking changes that may need action:"
• Show each [BREAKING] line in full.
• Collect referenced skills.
• Ask the user with the active agent's user-question mechanism (multi-select when available):
• One option per referenced skill
• "Skip — I'll handle these manually"
• For each selected skill, invoke via the Skill tool.

Step 7: Summary + rollback

Print:

• Rollback tag: pre-upgrade-<HASH>-<TIMESTAMP>
• New HEAD: git rev-parse --short HEAD
• Upstream HEAD: git rev-parse --short upstream/$UPSTREAM_BRANCH
• Conflicts resolved: list, if any
• New env vars to add to .env.local: list from Step 5
• Breaking changes applied: list skills run

Tell the user:

• Rollback: git reset --hard pre-upgrade-<HASH>-<TIMESTAMP>
• Backup branch also exists: backup/pre-upgrade-<HASH>-<TIMESTAMP>
• Restart npm run dev to pick up code + Convex schema changes.
