# Skills Update

Safe per-skill refresh for externally installed skills. Invocation is **explicit only** - do not update skills unless the user requests it.

## Workflow

1. Follow the canonical workflow in [`.agents/skills/skills-update/SKILL.md`](../../../.agents/skills/skills-update/SKILL.md).
2. Prefer the helper script when updating all locked skills:

   ```bash
   bash .agents/skills/skills-update/scripts/update-locked-skills.sh
   ```

3. For a single skill, run one command:

   ```bash
   npx skills update <skill-name>
   ```

4. Report using the output format from the shared skill.

## Hard stops

- Never run bare `npx skills update` without skill names.
- Never run `npx skills add <source>` without `--skill <name>`.
- Never run `npx skills add` unless explicitly requested (new skill or legacy refresh).
- Do not update project-local skills not listed in `skills-lock.json`.
