Update Setup
Generate a personalized upgrade skill for this workspace.
Step 1: Check Existing
Use read_file to check if .navin/skills/update/SKILL.md already exists in the workspace.
If it exists, ask the user: "An upgrade skill already exists. Reconfigure?" Wait for the user's reply. If no, stop here.
Step 2: Current Version and Install Clues
Use exec to run navin --version. Tell the user the current version.
Then collect install clues with exec. These commands are best-effort; if one fails,
keep going and show the useful output:
command -v navin || true
python -m pip show navin-ai || true
pipx list | sed -n '/navin-ai/,+3p' || true
uv tool list | sed -n '/navin-ai/,+3p' || true
Summarize what you found in one short paragraph. Use the clues only to suggest a likely install method. Do not treat them as confirmation.
Step 3: Confirm Required Inputs
CRITICAL: Do not write .navin/skills/update/SKILL.md until the install method is
explicitly confirmed by the user. The install method must come from a user
answer or confirmation, not from inference alone. If you cannot get a clear
answer, stop and ask the user to rerun this setup when they know how navin was
installed.
Ask the user the questions below, one at a time, in your response text. Wait for the user's reply before proceeding to the next question. If you cannot get a clear answer, stop without writing the skill.
Question 1 - Install method:
question: "I found these install clues: <SUMMARY>. Which update method should this workspace use?"
options: ["uv", "pipx", "pip", "source (git clone)", "not sure"]
If the user selected not sure, explain the difference between the options and
stop. Do not generate the upgrade skill.
If the user selected source (git clone), ask for the local checkout path:
question: "Where is your navin source checkout? Enter an absolute path or a path relative to this workspace:".
Question 2 - Optional dependencies:
question: "Which optional dependencies do you need? List names separated by spaces, or reply 'none'. Available: api, azure, bedrock, browser, discord, langfuse, matrix, msteams, olostep, slack, telegram, whatsapp"
Parse the reply. If the user says "none" or similar, set extras to empty. Otherwise collect the valid names. If browser is selected, note that playwright install chromium must run after the install to fetch the browser itself.
Question 3 - Proxy:
question: "Do you need an HTTP proxy to reach PyPI or GitHub?"
options: ["no", "yes"]
If yes, ask one more time for the proxy URL: question: "Enter proxy URL (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:7890):".
Step 4: Generate Skill
Build the extras string. If the user selected dependencies, format as [dep1,dep2,...]. Otherwise omit the brackets entirely.
Determine the upgrade command from the install method:
| Method | Command |
|---|---|
| uv | uv tool install "navin-ai[EXTRAS]" --force |
| pipx | pipx install --force "navin-ai[EXTRAS]" |
| pip | python -m pip install --upgrade "navin-ai[EXTRAS]" |
| source | cd <SOURCE_CHECKOUT> && git pull && python -m pip install -e ".[EXTRAS]" |
For source installs, include extras in the editable install command when selected. Quote the source checkout path if it contains spaces.
Determine the preflight check from the install method:
| Method | Preflight check |
|---|---|
| uv | command -v uv |
| pipx | command -v pipx |
| pip | python -m pip --version |
| source | test -d <SOURCE_CHECKOUT> && test -d <SOURCE_CHECKOUT>/.git && test -f <SOURCE_CHECKOUT>/pyproject.toml |
For source installs, quote the source checkout path in the preflight check if it contains spaces.
Build the skill content. If proxy is configured, add export http_proxy=URL and export https_proxy=URL lines before the upgrade command.
Use write_file to write .navin/skills/update/SKILL.md with this content:
---
name: update
description: "Upgrade navin to the latest version. Triggers: upgrade navin, update navin, 升级navin, 更新navin."
---
# Update Navin
1. (If proxy configured) Set proxy: `export http_proxy=URL && export https_proxy=URL`
2. Use `exec` to run the preflight check: <PREFLIGHT_CHECK>. If it fails, stop and tell the user to rerun `update-setup` because the saved install method no longer matches this environment.
3. Use `exec` to run the upgrade command: <UPGRADE_COMMAND>
4. Use `exec` to verify: `navin --version`
5. Tell the user the new version. Say: "Run `/restart` to restart navin and apply the update. If `/restart` is unavailable in this channel, restart the navin process manually."
Step 5: Confirm
Tell the user: "Upgrade skill created. Say 'upgrade navin' when you want to update."
