Update External Skills

Update all third-party skills installed via the skills CLI to their latest versions.

External skills are those installed from remote repositories with npx skills add. Locally authored skills (created manually in ~/.claude/skills/ or .claude/skills/) are not affected.

Usage

Give the user the command:

! npx skills update

The command checks all installed skills against their source repositories and updates any that have newer versions available.

If the update fails

• Network error: Check internet connection. The CLI needs to reach GitHub/GitLab.
