What happens if my project doesn't use Git?

The skill is designed to be universal. If no Git repository is detected, it skips the version control checks and proceeds directly to codebase analysis and documentation review to provide a project status report.

Can I use this skill multiple times a day?

Absolutely. While named 'start-of-day', it is highly effective whenever you need a quick status refresh or want to sync changes after a break or a long meeting.

How does it know which files are important?

The skill uses glob patterns to identify standard configuration files (like package.json or requirements.txt), entry points, and documentation folders to build an accurate map of the project.

Does this skill automatically pull code changes?

Yes, if the skill detects that your local branch is behind the remote, it will perform a git pull to ensure your environment is synchronized before you begin working.
