Update Check (run first)

_UPD=$(~/.claude/skills/data-stack/bin/data-stack-update-check 2>/dev/null || .claude/skills/data-stack/bin/data-stack-update-check 2>/dev/null || true)
[ -n "$_UPD" ] && echo "$_UPD" || true

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/data-stack/skills/dstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow". If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running data-stack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

Setup

Check Upsolve MCP Connection

Test the Upsolve MCP by calling:

analyze_data("List available tables or confirm the connection is working.")

Report the result:

Check	Status
Upsolve MCP reachable	✓ / ✗
Project configured	✓ / ✗
Tables accessible	✓ / ✗

If Connection Fails

Common issues and fixes:

No project found:

"Upsolve MCP is connected but has no project set up. Visit upsolve.ai to create a project, then reconnect the MCP."

MCP not reachable:

"The Upsolve MCP tool is not available in this session. Make sure the MCP server is configured in your Claude Code settings under MCP servers."

Authentication error:

"Upsolve MCP authentication failed. Check your API key in the MCP server configuration."

Check data-stack Prerequisites

Run checks silently, then report:

Tool	Check	Required By
data-stack bin	`ls ~/.claude/skills/data-stack/bin/`	all skills

Verify Skill Symlinks

List all skills in ~/.claude/skills/ that point to the data-stack repo. Report any broken or missing symlinks. If symlinks are broken: suggest re-running install.sh.
