Please help me install this Agent Skill. Skill: hotplex-update Source: https://github.com/hrygo/hotplex/tree/main/.agents/skills/hotplex-update Command: npx skills add https://github.com/hrygo/hotplex --skill hotplex-update
This skill solves the risk and downtime of updating the HotPlex binary while the service is running, including common failures like “Text file busy”, broken startups, and lack of a fast rollback path.
Use case: After running make build or a git pull, deploy the newly built HotPlex binary to your local machine and ensure the gateway starts cleanly again, or automatically recover if the new version fails to boot.
Tell the assistant: "Update hotplex and restart the service with rollback if it fails."

To avoid a "Text file busy" error during a binary update, you must stop the running service before replacing the executable file. Orchestrating the stop, replace, and restart sequence prevents file lock conflicts.
The best way to roll back a failed service deployment is to restore a previously working binary from backup and restart the service. Verifying service health through status checks and logs ensures the system returns to a clean, running state.
To verify service health after a binary update and restart, you should check the service status and inspect the logs. Timestamp verification and log-based health checks confirm the new version has booted cleanly and is operating correctly.
Yes, this deployment workflow supports both system-level and user-level service managers. It applies to post-build installs, git pull upgrades, and service recovery scenarios across different service management configurations.
You need to stop the service before replacing the gateway binary to prevent broken startups and file lock issues. Stopping the service ensures the executable can be safely overwritten and restarted without corruption.
