SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually updating Nexus system files risks overwriting or losing your personal goals, project plans, custom skills, and workspace files if you make a mistake during the sync process. This Skill eliminates that risk by automating safe, controlled updates that never touch your private data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protected Sync: Only updates core Nexus system files, automatically excludes all user-owned folders (memory, projects, custom skills, workspace) from any changes.
  • Pre-Update Preview: Shows exactly what files will be updated and the version change before you confirm, so you know exactly what to expect.
  • Automatic Backups: Creates a timestamped backup of your current system files before any sync, so you can roll back if something goes wrong.
  • Use Case: You’ve been using Nexus for 6 months and want to get the latest core features and bug fixes without risking your 12 active projects or custom workflow skills.

Quick Start

Use the update-nexus skill to safely pull the latest Nexus system updates to your local repository while keeping all your personal data and custom files completely untouched.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update Nexus without losing my custom workspace files and projects?▼

To update Nexus without losing data, you need a protected sync process that only pulls upstream core system files while explicitly excluding user-owned directories like memory, projects, and custom skills from any changes.

What is the best way to safely sync upstream system updates to a local Nexus repository?▼

The best way to safely sync system updates is to use an automated workflow that generates a timestamped backup of your current files first, ensuring you can roll back if any unexpected sync errors occur.

Can I preview what files will change before applying a Nexus system update?▼

Yes, you can preview pending system changes before applying a Nexus update to review exactly which core files will be modified and see the version change, ensuring you know what to expect before confirming.

Does the Nexus update process back up my local configuration before syncing?▼

Yes, the Nexus update process creates an automatic timestamped backup of your current system files before any sync operation begins, providing a safe rollback point if the upgrade fails or overwrites configurations.

Why does my Nexus system update fail and how do I fix sync errors?▼

Nexus system updates can fail due to sync conflicts or directory permission issues, but the update process provides actionable error guidance for common failure cases to help you diagnose and resolve the problem quickly.
