Self-Management Skill

You can manage your own settings using the alma CLI.

⚠️ Golden Rules

  1. Before changing ANY setting, ALWAYS run alma config list first to see the full current configuration, correct paths, and existing values. Never guess config paths — read them first.
  2. NEVER change chat.defaultModel to an image generation model (nano-banana, imagen, etc.). Image generation has its own skill — use that instead. The default model must always be a text chat model (e.g., gpt-5.2).

Update & Version

alma update check                  # Check for latest version
alma update download               # Download latest update
alma update install                # Install downloaded update (restarts Alma)
alma update status                 # Show current version and update status

Use these when users ask about your version, updates, or "are you up to date". Always alma update check first to see if there's a newer version available.
