# Update Aegis Update the installed Aegis Method Pack for the current AI coding host. This skill is host maintenance. Do not edit the target project just because the user asked to update Aegis. ## Default Semantics - `aegis:update` updates the current host's registered Aegis installation. - Updating every registered host requires an explicit `--all` request. - If more than one host is registered and the current host cannot be identified, ask one concrete question before updating. - Do not update a development checkout when the installed method-pack root is a separate path. - Do not perform background automatic updates. The local registry may record `updateMode`, but this skill only performs explicit user-triggered updates. ## Evidence First From the installed method-pack root, inspect the host-scoped registry: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py status --json ``` If the registry is missing, register the current host before updating. Use the host's install guide and actual discovery path rather than guessing. If `~/.config/aegis/config.toml` already declares `method_pack_root`, prefer that canonical root when registering additional hosts. Host-specific discovery paths, copied ski

What does the update-aegis skill do?
Use when the user says `aegis:update`, asks to update or upgrade an installed Aegis method-pack, wants the latest Aegis version, or asks whether Aegis is current on this host.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add GanyuanRan/Aegis --skill update-aegis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From GanyuanRan/Aegis, a repository with 902 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
