When should I use Context Absorb instead of git pull?

Use Context Absorb when your directories don't share a common git remote, such as separate local worktrees, offline copies on different machines, or when you need to merge changes from a folder where a standard push/pull workflow isn't configured.

Can I choose to merge only specific files?

Yes, the skill supports selective application. You can specify which files or directories you want to 'absorb,' and it will regenerate the diff scoped specifically to those choices.

Does this skill work on projects that don't use Git?

Yes, Context Absorb is versatile. It detects the environment and automatically falls back to standard recursive diff and patch strategies if one or both directories are not initialized with git.

How does the skill handle merge conflicts?

The skill performs a pre-flight conflict check by comparing incoming changes against your uncommitted local files. It warns you explicitly of overlaps and performs a dry-run before applying any changes to ensure the process is safe.

Reconciles and merges project deltas between parallel worktrees or local directories without requiring remote git operations.

Context Absorb is a specialized workflow skill designed for Claude Code to facilitate the seamless synchronization of changes between different versions of the same project. It intelligently detects the relationship between two directories—whether they are git repositories or plain file structures—and calculates the most efficient way to extract and apply changes. This is particularly useful for merging results from parallel AI-generated worktrees, reconciling offline edits from different machines, or performing complex directory-to-directory updates where standard git remotes are unavailable or impractical to use.
