Update Skill

Run a thorough on-demand refresh of one skill in a skills repository. Two hard human-approval gates ensure no edits or commits happen without explicit confirmation.

The target skill is: $ARGUMENTS

If no argument was provided, run ls ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/skills/ and ask the user which to update. Stop until confirmed. Then verify ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/skills/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md exists; if not, list skills and ask again. Throughout this run, <name> refers to the resolved skill name.

Operating rules

These rules apply across all phases:

• GATE 1 stops before any edit. Do NOT call Edit or Write until the user replies affirmatively to the GATE 1 banner.
• GATE 2 stops before any commit or push. Do NOT run git commit or git push until the user replies affirmatively to the GATE 2 banner.
• Privacy scan is a hard blocker. Skills in a public repo can publish on merge, so the run does not reach a commit while a Phase 6 leak finding is unresolved.
• Sticky posture. Once GATE 1 has been emitted, "report findings first" persists across follow-up rounds in the same session. If the user replies changes or asks for revisions, re-emit the gate after revising; never silently apply.
• Non-resume. If the session is interrupted between GATE 1 and GATE 2, re-run /update-skill <name> from scratch. There is no checkpoint or resume mechanism.
• No --no-verify, no --amend, no force-push unless the user explicitly authorizes it for this run. Per the repo's CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md.
