external-skills-updater

To synchronize local skill directories with upstream GitHub repositories, you run the external-skills-updater to automatically pull the latest updates and apply them to your local environment. This ensures version parity without manual file management.

The best way to update multiple third-party skills at once is to run a bulk update across all configured repositories. This automatically pulls the latest features and bug fixes from tracked GitHub repositories to keep your environment current.

Automated version tracking for external GitHub repositories works by managing update timestamps and tracking configurations via upstream.json files. This mechanism ensures your locally tracked external skills maintain version parity with their upstream sources.

Yes, you need git access and local shell execution permissions to synchronize repositories. The synchronization process requires these permissions to perform repository pulls and execute script-based file updates in your development environment.

Yes, you can use this tool to maintain version parity for automated toolchains. It is specifically designed for development environments managing multiple third-party skill dependencies, ensuring automated toolchains have the latest upstream updates.

Locally tracked external skills may not update automatically if upstream.json tracking configurations are missing or if local shell execution permissions are insufficient. Proper git access is required to perform repository pulls and apply script-based file updates.
