Install And Update Skills

Use this for installing and updating Agent Skills through npx skills.

Operation Routing

  • For an install or add request, read Install Operation before acting.
  • For an update, upgrade, refresh, or check-only request, read Update Operation before acting.
  • When the user explicitly requests both operations, read both operation references and apply each selected workflow.
  • After a selected install or update command fails, read Cache-Corruption Retry only when its output confirms local npm cache corruption. Do not load or apply that reference for normal runs or unrelated failures.

Common Contract

  • Resolve global or project scope for every selected operation before mutation. If any selected operation's scope remains ambiguous, ask one direct question.
  • Preserve unrelated local skill files and lock mismatches. Report them instead of rewriting around them.
