Frequently Asked Questions about gsd-update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update GSD and see the changelog before installing?▼

The tool checks your current local or global GSD version against the latest npm release, fetches and displays the associated changelog, and asks for your confirmation before executing the update.

What is the safest way to clear npm cache after a GSD update?▼

During a GSD update, the workflow executes the version upgrade and automatically clears relevant caches to prevent stale dependencies, followed by a reminder to restart your environment.

Can I sync GSD updates across multiple runtime roots?▼

Yes, you can sync GSD updates across multiple runtime roots using the tool's optional multi-runtime synchronization workflow, which applies the latest version consistently across all configured environments.

How do I reapply custom user patches after upgrading GSD?▼

You can reapply custom user patches after upgrading GSD by enabling the optional patch reapply workflow, which restores your local modifications once the npm-based update and cache clearing finish.

Does the GSD update process work for both local and global npm installations?▼

Yes, the GSD update process supports both local and global npm installations. It detects your current setup, fetches the changelog, and requests user confirmation with a clean-install warning before updating.

Why do I need a clean-install warning when updating npm packages like GSD?▼

A clean-install warning is necessary because the update process clears relevant caches to eliminate stale files, which may temporarily disrupt your current runtime environment and requires a restart to apply changes.
