SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users of the dbskill toolkit need a safe way to sync the latest official skills without losing their local archives, reports, decision records, or other independently installed skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scoped Official Update: Runs npx -y skills add dontbesilent2025/dbskill -g --all to sync only the official dbskill repository across supported agents.
  • Local Data Preservation: Keeps user archives, reports, and decision records stored in ~/.dbs/ untouched during the update.
  • Update Timestamp Tracking: Records the update time in $HOME/.dbs/update_check_at to avoid repeated update reminders in the same conversation.
  • Use Case: After receiving a dbskill update reminder, reply 1 and the skill executes the sync, then confirms completion and advises starting a new conversation to load the new capabilities.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to update dbskill to the latest official version while keeping my local archives and other installed skills unchanged.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update dbskill to the latest version?▼

Ask the agent to update dbskill, or reply 1 after an update reminder. The skill runs npx -y skills add dontbesilent2025/dbskill -g --all to sync all official skills, then confirms completion and suggests starting a new conversation.

Does updating dbskill delete my local archives and reports?▼

No. The update only syncs official skills from the dontbesilent2025/dbskill repository. User archives, reports, and decision records stored in ~/.dbs/ are preserved, and other independently installed skills are not touched.

Which agents support the dbskill update command?▼

The update works with agents that support the skills ecosystem, including Claude Code, Codex, Doubao, and WorkBuddy. The npx skills add command syncs official skills to all supported agents in one run.

Why does the skill avoid using npx skills update?▼

The npx skills update command may update every skill the user has installed, not just dbskill. The skill deliberately uses npx skills add scoped to the official repository to keep the update limited to dbskill only.

What happens if the dbskill update command fails?▼

The skill reports a one-sentence failure reason and tells the user which permission or network issue to resolve. It does not paste full terminal logs unless the user explicitly asks for them.
