Update Skills

Update Skills

Update globally installed skills and/or project-level skills in one step.

When to Use

Execution

Global Update

npx skills update

Project Update

First check if skills-lock.json exists in the current directory:

# Check
ls skills-lock.json 2>/dev/null && echo "found" || echo "not found"

# If found, run:
npx skills experimental_install

If skills-lock.json is not found, skip and inform the user:

"No skills-lock.json found in current directory — skipping project update."

Error Handling

Run all applicable steps regardless of individual failures. Report results at the end:

✅ Global skills updated
   (or: All global skills are up to date)

✅ Project skills updated (via skills-lock.json)

❌ Project update failed: <error message>
   Suggestion: run `npx skills experimental_install` manually

Notes

• npx skills update compares a hash of installed files against the remote source. If they match, it reports "up to date" even after a remote push — use npx skills add <source> --skill <name> -y to force-reinstall.
• experimental_install is an experimental command; the name may change in future CLI versions.
