SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When updating the LingTai TUI, users with an existing Homebrew installation need to understand how the lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui formula behaves, why brew upgrade is no longer run automatically, and how to manually explore or remove the old Homebrew install after migrating to the native installer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Homebrew Tap Exploration: Provides the exact brew install, brew info, brew cat, and brew --repository commands for inspecting the supported lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui formula and its tap checkout.
  • Migration Guidance: Explains that detected Homebrew installs migrate (with explicit consent) to LingTai's native installer, and that self-update and doctor never run brew upgrade or brew uninstall.
  • Release Workflow Insight: Documents how the release pipeline writes Lingtai-AI/homebrew-lingtai/lingtai-tui.rb from the tagged source tarball, builds tui and portal, and runs the TUI version smoke test.
  • Use Case: A user who originally installed LingTai via Homebrew runs /update-tui and wants to verify the old formula, inspect its origin, and understand the interactive consent prompt for removing the legacy keg.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to inspect the installed LingTai Homebrew formula and explain how to migrate it to the native installer.

Frequently Asked Questions about lingtai-update-homebrew

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I update LingTai TUI installed via Homebrew?▼

Run /update-tui or lingtai-tui self-update; a detected Homebrew install migrates with explicit consent to LingTai's native installer. The update path no longer runs brew upgrade against the lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui formula.

What is the Homebrew formula name for LingTai TUI?▼

The supported formula is lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui. You can inspect it with brew info lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui or view its source with brew cat lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui.

Does lingtai-tui self-update remove the old Homebrew installation?▼

No, self-update and doctor never run brew uninstall. Removing the old formula is a separate interactive-only consent step via the startup prompt, and the tools only report the manual command.

How do I find where the LingTai Homebrew tap is checked out?▼

Run brew --repository to locate the tap checkout, then inspect the reported tap directory. Treat any manual tap edits as debugging only, since release automation owns normal formula updates.

Can I still use brew install for a first-time LingTai TUI setup?▼

Yes, brew install lingtai-ai/lingtai/lingtai-tui still works for a first install. However, subsequent updates through /update-tui migrate the installation to the native installer rather than using brew upgrade.
