name	ha-self-update
description	Check for and install Hope Agent updates through conversation. Use whenever the user asks about upgrades, new versions, release notes, or reports a bug that might already be fixed upstream — phrases like 'upgrade Hope Agent', 'update hope agent', 'check for new version', '升级一下', '有新版本吗', '帮我升级', 'is there a newer build', 'check release notes', 'install the latest'. Also use proactively when an `app_update(action="check")` result shows `has_update: true` and the user hasn't been told yet. Covers all three formfactors: desktop GUI bundle (DMG/MSI/AppImage), `hope-agent server` daemon installed via Homebrew/Scoop/AUR/apt/dnf, and headless single-binary deployments. The upgrade is always user-confirmed via `ask_user_question` — never silent.

Hope Agent Self-Update

Hope Agent ships a single binary (hope-agent) that dispatches into three modes by subcommand: desktop GUI, hope-agent server, and hope-agent acp. All three share the same release artifacts under github.com/shiwenwen/hope-agent/releases and the same Minisign-signed update manifest. The app_update tool is the single entry point for self-upgrade; this skill is the methodology for using it well.

When to suggest an upgrade

Trigger paths (any one is enough):

• User asks ("升级一下" / "is there an update" / "show release notes" / "the latest version").
• User reports a bug. Run first — if , mention "there's a newer version ; let me check its notes for before we dig in" and read the notes. If the notes mention the bug, suggest upgrading first.
