update

A command for checking whether a local PM-Kit installation has a newer framework release available on GitHub. It can also preview or apply the update after comparing versions and showing release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check for updates, preview changes with a dry run, or apply a newer PM-Kit release.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually inspect the installed version, find the repository release, and work out what would change. It is designed to keep notes and configuration untouched during framework updates.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

update scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/update — Framework Updates

Check for new PM-Kit releases and safely apply framework updates without touching your notes or config.

Usage

/update           # Check + apply if available
/update --check   # Check only, no download
/update --dry-run # Preview what would change without applying

What This Skill Does

1. Check Current Version

Read the local VERSION file to determine the installed version.

cat VERSION

If VERSION doesn't exist, tell the user to run ./scripts/setup.sh first.

2. Check Latest Release

Query the GitHub API for the latest release:

# Detect repo from git remote, fallback to kv0906/pm-kit
REPO_SLUG="kv0906/pm-kit"
REMOTE_URL="$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || true)"
if [ -n "$REMOTE_URL" ]; then
  REPO_SLUG="$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" | sed -E 's#.*[:/]([^/]+/[^/.]+)(\.git)?$#\1#')"
fi

curl -sS "https://api.github.com/repos/${REPO_SLUG}/releases/latest"

3. Compare Versions

  • If local version matches latest: report "You're on the latest version (vX.Y.Z)"
  • If update available: show the version diff and changelog excerpt

4. Apply Update (if user confirms)

Run the update script, passing through any flags the user provided:

# If user ran /update --check:
./scripts/update.sh --check

# If user ran /update --dry-run:
./scripts/update.sh --dry-run

# If user ran /update (no flags):
./scripts/update.sh

The script will:

  • Back up current framework files to _archive/_updates/{date}/
  • Download and extract the latest release
  • Overwrite framework files (skills, templates, scripts, docs)
  • Skip hybrid files (_core/config.yaml, .gitignore) — shows diff instead
  • Never touch user content (notes, meetings, etc.)
  • Update the VERSION file

5. Post-Update Summary

After the script completes, summarize:

  • Files updated and files skipped
  • Backup location
  • Any hybrid files that need manual merge
  • Remind user to run /push to commit changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

update is a skill published in the GitHub repository kv0906/pm-kit (133 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 681 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
