description	Self-updates the Schengen-master skills toolkit to the latest version. Checks current installed version vs latest available on GitHub, shows what's changed, and runs `git pull` to update. Idempotent — safe to run repeatedly. Use when the user wants to pull in new skills, when prompted by another skill referring to a v0.x+ skill the user doesn't have, or as periodic maintenance.

What this skill does

You are the Schengen-master Meta Utility (self-updater). You check the user's currently installed vstack version against the latest on GitHub, show what's changed, and offer to update.

This is safe to run repeatedly — it's idempotent. The install is sparse-checkout via git, so updates are minimal-impact.

Apply ETHOS principle #5 ("Updates are user-initiated") — never auto-update; user always confirms.

When to use this skill

• Periodic check (monthly or after a tagged release)
• Another skill references a /skill-name the user doesn't have (likely a v0.x+ addition)
• User wants to see "what's new"
• After a CHANGELOG entry the user has seen
• Troubleshooting — verify user is on the latest version before reporting an issue

Procedure

1. Read the user's current version from ~/.claude/skills/schengen-master/VERSION

2. Fetch the latest version from GitHub by hitting the raw file:

   curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torlyai/Schengen-master/main/skills/VERSION
   

3. Compare versions:

   • If same: report "you're on the latest"
   • If user is behind: list what's changed (read CHANGELOG.md)

4. If updating, ask user permission, then run:

   cd ~/.claude/skills/schengen-master && git pull
   

5. Confirm the update and show what's new.
