SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents your development environment from falling behind by ensuring Homebrew and Claude Code-related tooling stay updated and consistent with your pinned Brewfile.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Update Homebrew metadata to make sure new versions are discoverable before upgrading.
  • Sync your Brewfile to enforce reproducible package state and install any missing dependencies.
  • Upgrade and clean to bring formulae/casks (including Claude Code) to the latest versions and remove stale artifacts afterward.
  • Verify RTK hook health so the token-saving proxy remains functional after upgrades.

Quick Start

Ask to “daily-upgrade” whenever you want to update everything and confirm your RTK hooks still work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade Homebrew packages and keep my Brewfile synced?▼

To upgrade Homebrew packages and sync your Brewfile, you need to run brew update, execute brew bundle install against your repository Brewfile, and then run brew upgrade to bring all formulae and casks to their latest versions.

What is the best way to maintain my Claude Code development environment?▼

Maintaining your Claude Code environment involves running routine Homebrew maintenance tasks like updating package metadata, upgrading installed formulae, cleaning up stale artifacts, and verifying that your RTK hooks remain functional afterward.

How do I check and repair RTK hooks after a Homebrew upgrade?▼

To check RTK hooks after a Homebrew upgrade, run rtk init --show to validate the hook status, which provides repair instructions if the token-saving proxy is no longer functioning correctly following the package updates.

Does upgrading Homebrew formulae affect my pinned Brewfile state?▼

Upgrading Homebrew formulae does not break your pinned Brewfile state because running brew bundle install enforces reproducible package dependencies, ensuring any missing packages are installed while keeping the environment consistent.

Why should I run brew cleanup after upgrading my development tools?▼

Running brew cleanup after upgrading development tools removes stale artifacts and old package versions, freeing up disk space and ensuring your local Homebrew-managed environment remains current and consistent with your pinned Brewfile.
