Summary

It is not possible to use aiw-update unless the remote is called origin.
For update-check, however, the configuration already exists.

  • aiw-update now reads AI_WORKFLOWS_REMOTE_REF (default origin/main), matching the existing behavior in hack/update-check.sh
  • Error messages and README document how to configure a non-origin upstream (e.g. redhat/main)

Motivation

Some clones use a differently named upstream remote and track e.g. redhat/main instead of origin/main. The daily update notifier already supported AI_WORKFLOWS_REMOTE_REF, but aiw-update hardcoded origin main, so notifications could suggest a command that failed.

Test plan

  • With default env, aiw-update still fetches and fast-forwards from origin/main
  • With AI_WORKFLOWS_REMOTE_REF=redhat/main, aiw-update fetches from redhat and merges redhat/main
  • When already up to date, script completes without reinstall noise

Summary

  • Updates the aiw-update workflow to use AI_WORKFLOWS_REMOTE_REF.
  • Defaults the reference to origin/main.
  • Supports installations that use another remote, such as redhat/main.
  • Fetches and fast-forwards the configured remote-tracking branch.
  • Updates usage text, error messages, README guidance, and systemd timer configuration.
  • Updates daily notifications to compare against the configured upstream reference.
  • Updates hack/update-check.sh to resolve and validate the configured remote-tracking reference.
  • No changes affect _shared/ resources or cross-workflow conventions.

Make aiw-update use the same configurable upstream ref as update-check.sh
(default origin/main) so clones that track a differently named remote can
update without adding an origin alias.

Walkthrough

The update scripts now support AI_WORKFLOWS_REMOTE_REF, defaulting to origin/main. The README documents configuration, systemd timer setup, update usage, and notifier behavior.

Changes

Configurable upstream reference

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update and check reference handling
hack/aiw-update.sh, hack/update-check.sh
The scripts resolve the configured remote-tracking reference, fetch the selected remote and branch, calculate update status, and fast-forward against the configured reference.
Configuration documentation
README.md
The README documents the variable, systemd timer setup, update usage, and notifier comparison behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f392c

The change lets aiw-update honor a configurable upstream while preserving the origin/main default; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Ai-Attribution ✅ Passed Both PR commits include the acceptable Made-with: Cursor trailer, and no Co-Authored-By AI attribution appears in the PR commit messages.
No-Absolute-Paths-In-Skills ✅ Passed The PR changes only README.md and shell scripts; no scoped workflow Markdown changed, and no prohibited absolute path was introduced.
Skill-Md-Under-30-Lines ✅ Passed The complete PR diff changes only README.md and two hack scripts; no SKILL.md file is changed, so the 30-line check is not applicable.
Command-Colon-Notation ✅ Passed All 75 files under workflow commands/ directories have YAML name fields in {workflow}:{phase} form with matching workflow prefixes; the PR changes no command files.
No-Orphaned-References ✅ Passed The PR changes only root README.md and shell scripts; no workflow markdown or skill/command files changed, and orphan candidates are identical before and after.
No-Content-Duplication ✅ Passed The PR changes only README.md and two hack scripts; no SKILL.md, guidelines.md, or controller.md file changed in the base-to-HEAD diff, so the duplication check is not applicable.
Step-Sequencing ✅ Passed The PR diff changes only README.md and two shell scripts; no skills/*.md file changed, so step-sequencing criteria do not apply.

- Around line 106-116: The remote fetch flow should merge the freshly fetched
remote-tracking ref rather than a potentially stale local branch. In
hack/aiw-update.sh, build MERGE_REF as
refs/remotes/${FETCH_REMOTE}/${FETCH_BRANCH} after resolving FETCH_REMOTE and
FETCH_BRANCH, then use it for git merge and the reset hint. Update the
corresponding git rev-parse and git rev-list calls in hack/update-check.sh to
use the same canonical remote-tracking ref.

**/*.md

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (Custom checks)

For any changed markdown file in a workflow directory, verify that file path references (backtick-quoted paths like ../skills/controller.md or guidelines.md) point to files that exist. Flag references to files that don't exist (dangling references). Also flag skill or command files that exist but are never referenced from SKILL.md, controller.md, or any command file (orphaned files).

Files:

  • README.md

⚙️ CodeRabbit configuration file

**/*.md: Cross-workflow consistency (ai-workflows conventions):

  • All file references must be relative paths (never absolute) —
    this is critical for symlink compatibility
  • No IDE-specific syntax (Cursor-specific, VS Code-specific, etc.)
  • Consistent terminology within a workflow: pick one term, stick
    with it
  • Schema field names and types must match between producer and
    consumer files (e.g., if a field is defined in one phase skill
    and consumed in another, names and types must agree)
  • No verbatim duplication of multi-line instruction blocks
    across SKILL.md, guidelines.md, and controller.md — each has
    a distinct role (shared phase names and brief references are
    expected cross-referencing, not duplication)

Learning: In flightctl/ai-workflows documentation, treat backtick-quoted workflow path templates that include placeholders (e.g., `commands/{command}.md`, `skills/{phase}.md`) as runtime-dispatch/template instructions for AI agents, not literal Markdown links. When these appear, do not flag them as dangling/invalid references solely because the braces indicate substitution of an invoked command or phase name at runtime.

Timestamp: 2026-08-06T13:07:53.827Z
Learning: In Markdown templates containing nested triple-backtick code fences, wrap the outer template block with a fence of at least four backticks. This prevents inner triple-backtick fences from prematurely terminating the outer block and preserves correct Markdown rendering.
