StyleSeed Update Assistant

When to Use

Use this skill when you need update StyleSeed engine in your project — analyzes what's outdated and updates safely.

When NOT to use

• For first-time setup → use /ss-setup
• For just one new component or skin — copy that file manually
• For projects that have heavily diverged from upstream — manual diff review first
• For updating user code/components — this updates engine files only, not your custom UI

Automatically detect and update StyleSeed files in the current project.

Reassure the user first

Updating is safe and reversible. Updates are additive — new rules, components, skins, and skills get added; your theme.css, your components, and your app code are never overwritten, and design rules only ever get added (never changed in a breaking way). A big version jump looks like a lot changed, but it's almost all additions. Do NOT warn the user that the build will break unless you actually find a changed component/import API. Tell them: commit first, copy the new rules + skills, run a build, and git reset --hard if anything is off — they can't permanently break their project.

Instructions

Step 1: Detect Current Setup

Scan the project to find where StyleSeed files are:

# Find DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md
find . -name "DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find CLAUDE.md
find . -name "CLAUDE.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find skills (ss-* is current; ui-*/ux-* are legacy names to migrate from)
find . -path "*/.claude/skills/ss-*" -o -path "*/.claude/skills/ui-*" -o -path "*/.claude/skills/ux-*" | head -20

# Find theme.css
find . -name "theme.css" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find .cursorrules
find . -name ".cursorrules"

Report what was found and where.

Step 2: Check StyleSeed Version

Fast check first — compare the local version to the published one without cloning:
