• update.json / appKey wiring
• iOS, Android, Expo, HarmonyOS, and brownfield checkpoints
• UpdateProvider, useUpdate, strategies, hooks, and metaInfo flows
• Release baseline upload and hot update publishing checks
• Common conflict checks such as expo-updates, Android bundle URL misses, iOS bundle URL misses, and release asset diff pitfalls

Auto Update Manager

Skills should not update themselves while running. Use the host or installer layer to check and apply updates.

This repo includes a small manager that implements the recommended policy:

cp skills-lock.example.json skills-lock.json
node tools/skill-update-manager.mjs lock --lock skills-lock.json --write
node tools/skill-update-manager.mjs check --lock skills-lock.json
node tools/skill-update-manager.mjs update --lock skills-lock.json

Default behavior:

• Records source repo, ref, commit, file hash, script hash, pin state, and install paths in the lockfile.
• Skips entries with "pinned": true.
• Allows automatic non-script updates after lock --write has recorded content hashes.
• Blocks changes under scripts/ unless you rerun with --allow-scripts after review.
• Blocks updates from an uninitialized lockfile because script changes cannot be classified safely.
• Backs up the previous installed skill directory before replacing it.

Edit installations in skills-lock.json for each local skill host you want the manager to maintain. For a timer or startup hook, run check first and only run update when the host policy allows it.
