Keep team skills current

How a change to a team skill reaches everyone, and what happens to one somebody adapted.

Every skill installed from a repository remembers where it came from. Nothing is rewritten without the person's say-so: a skill runs instructions inside their agent, so following a source is an explicit choice, made per skill.

What you seeWhat it meansWhat to do
Update from sourceThe source moved since you imported the skill.Open it to read the diff, then apply it.
Auto-updateOff by default, per skill.Turn it on for a source you want to follow without reviewing each change.
ModifiedYou edited your copy, which pauses its automatic updates.Keep your version, or Revert to the imported original.

A source group's menu also offers Update all from this source, with a result per skill.

Rolling out a change

  1. Edit the skill in the repository, review it, push.
  2. Anyone with Auto-update on gets it on their next run.
  3. Everyone else sees Update from source and applies it when ready.

No version to bump, no release to cut. The repository's history is the skill's history.

When someone adapts a skill

Editing an installed skill pauses its automatic updates, so their change is not overwritten. It shows as Modified, and Revert puts them back on yours whenever they want.

If several people make the same edit, fold it into the repository so nobody has to make it again.
