+# GuardeX Merge Skills to dev
+
+Use this skill when you only want to promote Codex skill file updates into the base branch (normally `dev`) without editing the visible base checkout directly.
+
+## What this merges
+
+- `skills/**/SKILL.md`
+- `.codex/skills/**/SKILL.md`
+- `templates/codex/skills/**/SKILL.md`
+
+## Merge runbook (safe path)
+
+1. Resolve the base branch:
+
+```sh
+BASE_BRANCH="$(git config --get multiagent.baseBranch || echo dev)"
+echo "$BASE_BRANCH"
+```
+
+2. Start a dedicated integration sandbox from base:
+
+```sh
+gx branch start "merge-skill-files-to-${BASE_BRANCH}" "skill-merge" "$BASE_BRANCH"
+```
+
+3. Enter the sandbox worktree printed by the command above.
+
+4. Pull only skill files from each source agent branch:
+
+```sh
+SOURCE_BRANCH="<agent-branch>"
+git checkout "$SOURCE_BRANCH" -- ':(glob)skills/**/SKILL.md' ':(glob).codex/skills/**/SKILL.md' ':(glob)templates/codex/skills/**/SKILL.md'
+```
+
+5. Verify scope before commit:
+
+```sh
+git status --short
+git diff --name-only
+```
+
+6. Commit and merge back to base using guardex finish flow:
+
+```sh
+git add skills .codex/skills templates/codex/skills
+git commit -m "Merge skill file updates into ${BASE_BRANCH}"
+gx branch finish --branch "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" --base "$BASE_BRANCH" --via-pr --wait-for-merge --cleanup
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- If a source branch has non-skill changes, this runbook keeps them out of the merge.
+- If merge conflicts occur, resolve only within the skill files, then rerun `gx branch finish`.
+- Do not commit directly on `dev`/`main`; always merge through an agent branch/worktree.
