kimgoetzke Update Skills
Check for updates to locally installed skills by fetching the latest from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs on GitHub and comparing against the local skills directory.
Configuration
- Remote repo:
https://github.com/kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs.git - Scripts location: Bundled in this skill's
scripts/directory
Target directory by tool
| Tool | Default target directory |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills |
| Copilot | ~/.copilot/skills |
| Pi | ~/.pi/agent/skills |
If you cannot determine which tool you are, ask the user.
Workflow
1. Determine target directory
Set the target directory based on the table above. Use the variable TARGET_DIR in subsequent steps.
Also resolve SKILL_DIR to the absolute path of this locally installed skill directory. Typical values:
- Claude Code:
~/.claude/skills/update-skills - Copilot:
~/.copilot/skills/update-skills - Pi:
~/.pi/agent/skills/update-skills
2. Check for updates
Run the check script:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check-updates.sh" "$TARGET_DIR"
3. Parse the output
The script outputs one line per skill with a status prefix:
| Prefix | Meaning |
|---|---|
UP_TO_DATE:<name> |
No changes |
CHANGED:<name> |
Files differ — diff follows until END_DIFF line |
MISSING_LOCALLY:<name> |
Exists in repo but missing locally |
ALL_UP_TO_DATE |
No updates available at all |
Skills that exist locally but not in the remote repo are ignored.
4. Present results to the user
- If
ALL_UP_TO_DATE: tell the user all skills are up to date and stop - Otherwise, FOR EACH
CHANGEDorMISSING_LOCALLYskill:- List the skill name and summarise what changed (files added/removed/modified)
- Show the diff in a code block
- Ask the user if they want to apply this update
5. Apply updates
For each skill the user approves, run:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/apply-update.sh" "$TARGET_DIR" <skill-name>
Report success or failure for each.
6. Summary
After processing all skills, print a summary:
- How many skills were updated
- How many were skipped
- How many were already up to date
Finally, ask the user if they wish to use the /update-agents skill to sync any agents from the remote repo.
