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.
aegis:update updates the current host's registered Aegis installation.--all request.updateMode, but this skill only performs explicit user-triggered updates.From the installed method-pack root, inspect the host-scoped registry:
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 skill directories, plugin caches, or adapter payloads should be
treated as generated / host-managed views into the same Aegis body, not as
separate editable checkouts.
Codex example:
python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
--host codex \
--sync-mode junction \
--discovery-root ~/.agents/skills/aegis \
--reload-hint "restart Codex"
Copy-based host example:
python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
--host codebuddy \
--sync-mode copy-skills \
--discovery-root ~/.codebuddy/skills \
--reload-hint "restart CodeBuddy"
Prefixed direct-child host example:
python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
--host copilot \
--sync-mode junction \
--discovery-shape direct-child \
--discovery-root <target-repo>/.github/skills \
--discovery-name-prefix aegis- \
--reload-hint "restart Copilot session or reopen the repository"
Kimi Code CLI automatic installations are plugin-managed. Do not use the Aegis updater against Kimi's managed plugin copy. In Kimi, run the native update or reinstall flow, verify the selected managed plugin, then reload:
/plugins install https://github.com/GanyuanRan/Aegis
/plugins info aegis
/reload
If Kimi requires confirmation or removal before replacing the managed copy,
follow its exact plugin-manager prompt. Then locate the managed root from
/plugins info aegis and run:
cd <aegis-method-pack-root>
python scripts/aegis-doctor.py --json --host-profile kimi-code-auto
Kimi Code CLI Explicit Compatibility Installation example:
python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
--host kimi-code \
--sync-mode junction \
--reload-hint "restart Kimi Code CLI"
When --discovery-root is omitted for kimi, kimi-code, or
kimi-code-cli, the updater uses $KIMI_CODE_HOME/skills or, when
KIMI_CODE_HOME is unset, ~/.kimi-code/skills. Use this updater path only
when the Aegis Kimi plugin is disabled or uninstalled and the user has selected
explicit compatibility mode.
Plugin-managed hosts can be registered, but the updater reports that the host plugin manager owns the update path:
python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
--host opencode \
--sync-mode plugin-managed \
--reload-hint "restart OpenCode"
Current or explicitly selected host:
python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --json
All registered hosts, only when the user explicitly asks for all-host update:
python scripts/aegis-update.py update --all --json
Preview without touching files:
python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --dry-run --json
If the installed checkout has local changes, do not overwrite them. Either ask the user how to proceed or, with explicit permission, preserve them with:
python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --stash --json
Treat the update as complete only when the updater reports the selected host and
the post-update doctor verification succeeds. For link-based discovery roots
(junction, symlink, or repo-only), the updater passes discoveryRoot
through to aegis-doctor.py --discovery-root; when a registered direct-child
view declares discoveryNamePrefix, the updater also passes
--discovery-name-prefix. For copy-based hosts, it verifies that copied Aegis
skill directories exist after the copy step, then runs doctor against the
method-pack root.
When multiple registered hosts share the same methodPackRoot, the updater now
reuses a single method-pack checkout update and then refreshes each host's
exposure or verification path separately.
Report:
If the updater skips a plugin-managed host, state that the host plugin manager
owns the update path and give the reload or reinstall hint.
For Kimi automatic installations, completion also requires /plugins info aegis, /reload or /new, the kimi-code-auto doctor profile, and the
host-native automatic-entry checks from docs/README.kimi-code.md. File
discovery or a generic doctor result alone is not sufficient.

--- name: update-aegis description: "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." --- # 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 skill directories, plugin caches, or adapter payloads should be treated as generated / host-managed views into the same Aegis body, not as separate editable checkouts. Codex example: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py register \ --host codex \ --sync-mode junction \ --discovery-root ~/.agents/skills/aegis \ --reload-hint "restart Codex" ``` Copy-based host example: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py register \ --host codebuddy \ --sync-mode copy-skills \ --discovery-root ~/.codebuddy/skills \ --reload-hint "restart CodeBuddy" ``` Prefixed direct-child host example: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py register \ --host copilot \ --sync-mode junction \ --discovery-shape direct-child \ --discovery-root <target-repo>/.github/skills \ --discovery-name-prefix aegis- \ --reload-hint "restart Copilot session or reopen the repository" ``` Kimi Code CLI automatic installations are plugin-managed. Do not use the Aegis updater against Kimi's managed plugin copy. In Kimi, run the native update or reinstall flow, verify the selected managed plugin, then reload: ```text /plugins install https://github.com/GanyuanRan/Aegis /plugins info aegis /reload ``` If Kimi requires confirmation or removal before replacing the managed copy, follow its exact plugin-manager prompt. Then locate the managed root from `/plugins info aegis` and run: ```bash cd <aegis-method-pack-root> python scripts/aegis-doctor.py --json --host-profile kimi-code-auto ``` Kimi Code CLI **Explicit Compatibility Installation** example: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py register \ --host kimi-code \ --sync-mode junction \ --reload-hint "restart Kimi Code CLI" ``` When `--discovery-root` is omitted for `kimi`, `kimi-code`, or `kimi-code-cli`, the updater uses `$KIMI_CODE_HOME/skills` or, when `KIMI_CODE_HOME` is unset, `~/.kimi-code/skills`. Use this updater path only when the Aegis Kimi plugin is disabled or uninstalled and the user has selected explicit compatibility mode. Plugin-managed hosts can be registered, but the updater reports that the host plugin manager owns the update path: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py register \ --host opencode \ --sync-mode plugin-managed \ --reload-hint "restart OpenCode" ``` ## Update Commands Current or explicitly selected host: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --json ``` All registered hosts, only when the user explicitly asks for all-host update: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py update --all --json ``` Preview without touching files: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --dry-run --json ``` If the installed checkout has local changes, do not overwrite them. Either ask the user how to proceed or, with explicit permission, preserve them with: ```bash python scripts/aegis-update.py update --host <host> --stash --json ``` ## Completion Evidence Treat the update as complete only when the updater reports the selected host and the post-update doctor verification succeeds. For link-based discovery roots (`junction`, `symlink`, or `repo-only`), the updater passes `discoveryRoot` through to `aegis-doctor.py --discovery-root`; when a registered direct-child view declares `discoveryNamePrefix`, the updater also passes `--discovery-name-prefix`. For copy-based hosts, it verifies that copied Aegis skill directories exist after the copy step, then runs doctor against the method-pack root. When multiple registered hosts share the same `methodPackRoot`, the updater now reuses a single method-pack checkout update and then refreshes each host's exposure or verification path separately. Report: - selected host / installation id - previous and final commit when available - whether the install was updated or already current - sync mode used - doctor verification result - restart or reload hint If the updater skips a `plugin-managed` host, state that the host plugin manager owns the update path and give the reload or reinstall hint. For Kimi automatic installations, completion also requires `/plugins info aegis`, `/reload` or `/new`, the `kimi-code-auto` doctor profile, and the host-native automatic-entry checks from `docs/README.kimi-code.md`. File discovery or a generic doctor result alone is not sufficient.
