An update procedure for the Pocket Skill repository and its bundled my-skill plugin registration. It first checks that the repository and remote are ready and that local changes will not be overwritten.

What is it for?
Use it to pull updates from the repository's main branch and refresh the local plugin installation.
Why use it?
It keeps the installed skill aligned with the latest version from the main source while protecting uncommitted local work.

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-my-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Instructions

When the user invokes this skill, update their Pocket Skill installation from origin/main, then refresh the my-skill plugin registration. If the user only wants to refresh local skill changes without pulling from remote, use refresh-my-skill instead.

Tool Expectations

This workflow may use git and shell commands.

All operations must happen from the pocketskill repository root. First locate it:

  • Use the current working directory if it contains plugins/my-skill/skills/ and install.sh.
  • Otherwise search upward from the current working directory.
  • If no root is found, ask the user for the pocketskill path and stop until they provide it.

Workflow

1. Preflight

Before changing anything:

  • Run git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree; if it fails, stop and explain that updates require a git checkout.
  • Run git remote get-url origin; if it fails, stop and ask the user to add the Pocket Skill GitHub remote.
  • Run git status --short; if there are uncommitted changes, stop and show the changed paths. Ask the user to commit, stash, or discard them before updating. Do not overwrite local skill edits.
  • Confirm install.sh exists and is executable. If it exists but is not executable, run chmod +x install.sh.

2. Pull From Main

Update from the remote main branch:

  1. git fetch origin main
  2. If not already on main, switch with git switch main
  3. git pull --ff-only origin main

If switching branches or pulling fails because of local changes, stop and report the blocker. Do not use git reset, forced checkout, or rebase unless the user explicitly asks.

3. Refresh My Skill Plugin

After the pull succeeds, refresh the plugin registration without bumping the version locally:

./install.sh --yes

This registers the marketplace and enables the my-skill plugin for detected tools:

  • Claude Code: /my-skill:<skill-name>
  • Codex: $<skill-name>
  • General agents: direct SKILL.md file usage

The refresh also exports categorized source directories (manage-skills/, my-skills/, private-skills/) into the flat skills/<name>/SKILL.md plugin cache required by Claude Code and Codex.

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.
