SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

wf-update prevents WikiFlow skills from drifting out of date by automating the process of checking and replacing installed skill files with the latest GitHub versions, ensuring consistent execution results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch version-aware updates: scans installed skills, reads local and remote metadata.version, and updates only those with newer remote versions.
  • Structural replacement without diffing: replaces local skill.md and references/ with remote counterparts, without generating change summaries, to keep outcomes consistent.
  • Schema-change warning: detects remote config.schema.json changes and warns users to verify .wikiflow/config.json compatibility.

Quick Start

Run the update check for your installed skills by asking: /wf-update

Frequently Asked Questions about wf-update

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I update installed skills from a git repository automatically?

Updating WikiFlow skills involves scanning local installations and comparing local metadata.version against remote GitHub versions. This tool pulls the latest skill.md and references, performing deterministic replacement only when newer remote versions are confirmed.

How does version management work for local automation skills?

Version management for local automation skills relies on reading .wikiflow/config.json and comparing local metadata.version with remote sources. This ensures consistent execution results across multiple wf-* installations by applying batch version-aware updates without manual diffing.

Why does updating skill files replace local content without a change summary?

Replacing local skill.md and references/ without generating change summaries ensures deterministic replacement and consistent execution outcomes. This structural replacement strategy directly overwrites local files with exact remote GitHub counterparts to prevent version drift.

Do I need to verify config schema compatibility before upgrading skills?

You need to verify config schema compatibility because this tool detects remote config.schema.json changes and warns users. Checking .wikiflow/config.json compatibility prevents automation failures after destructive skill updates are applied to your local environment.

Can I use batch updating for multiple WikiFlow skills across different installations?

You can use batch updating for multiple WikiFlow skills across different installations. The tool scans installed wf-* skills, reads configuration context from .wikiflow/config.json, and applies consistent version-aware updates to keep all local automation environments synchronized.
