skillshub update

skillshub update

The update command checks for new versions of your installed skills and applies available updates. You can update a single skill by name or update everything at once.

Usage

skillshub update [skill]

When [skill] is provided, only that skill is updated. When omitted, skillshub checks all installed skills for updates unless --all is specified.

Options

Option	Description
--all	Update all installed skills to their latest versions.
--dry-run	Check for available updates without applying them.

How updates work

1. Check — skillshub queries the source tap for each skill to determine the latest available version.
2. Compare — The remote version is compared against the locally installed version.
3. Download — If a newer version exists, the updated skill files are fetched from GitHub.
4. Apply — The local skill files are replaced with the updated version and the manifest is updated.

Examples

Update a specific skill:

skillshub update code-review

Checking for updates...
code-review: 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0
Updating code-review... done.

Check for updates across all skills without applying them:

skillshub update --all --dry-run

Checking for updates...
code-review: 1.2.0 -> 1.3.0 (update available)
commit-message: 0.9.1 (up to date)
refactor-assist: 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0 (update available)
test-generator: 1.1.3 (up to date)

2 updates available. Run without --dry-run to apply.

Update all installed skills:

skillshub update --all
