What this does

`/setup-content` is a **one-time preparation** that gets the workspace ready for ongoing updates. The actual update flow then runs `git fetch origin && git log HEAD..origin/main --oneline # show diff against upstream`.

What the AI does behind the scenes

1. Confirm repo sparse-checkout is configured (enable if needed) 2. `git status` — make sure the working tree is clean 3. `git fetch origin` — pull the latest refs 4. Look for the upstream sync helper:

• If present → run `python -c "import pathlib; print('ok' if pathlib.Path('.git').exists() else 'missing')"` for a smoke test
• If absent → tell the user to `git pull` to bring in the upstream tooling, then exit

5. Print "next: run `git fetch origin && git log HEAD..origin/main --oneline # show diff against upstream`"

How to verify

git fetch origin && git log HEAD..origin/main --oneline  # show diff against upstream

Non-interactive mode behaviour

`nonInteractiveMode: deferred`.

• Steps 1–3 (git read-only ops) execute as usual
• The presence check for the upstream sync helper runs
• If the tool is missing or any confirmation is required, write a `setup-resume.md` saying

"re-run `/setup-content` in interactive mode" and exit
