name	update-clankers
description	This skill should be used when the user asks to "update my clankers", "update my clanker", "update my AI agents", "update my coding agents", "update claude and cursor", or invokes /update-clankers. Detects which AI coding CLI agents are installed on PATH (claude, copilot, cursor-agent, opencode, codex, pi) and runs each one's update command in parallel.

Update Clankers

Update the user's installed AI coding CLIs in one shot.

Agents and their update commands

Agent	Update command
`claude`	`claude update`
`copilot`	`copilot update`
`cursor-agent`	`cursor-agent update`
`opencode`	`opencode upgrade`
`codex`	`npm install -g @openai/codex@latest`
`pi`	`pi update --self`

Procedure

Prefer running the bundled script from this skill directory:
```
./scripts/update-clankers.sh
```
The script detects installed agents, runs update commands in parallel, and prints a compact per-agent summary.
If running manually, detect installed agents with a single Bash call: command -v claude copilot cursor-agent opencode codex pi. Only the ones that resolve are candidates.
For each detected agent, start its update command as a background Bash call (run_in_background: true). Issue all background calls in a single message so they run in parallel.
When all background tasks complete, report per-agent status as a compact summary: updated to new version, already latest, or failed (include the failing line of output).
Skip agents that are not on PATH — do not install them, do not prompt.

Notes

Claude Code and Cursor Agent auto-update in the background; claude update / cursor-agent update just force an immediate check.
GitHub Copilot CLI checks for updates automatically on startup; copilot update forces an immediate stable-channel update.
OpenCode's subcommand is upgrade, not update.
Codex has no built-in update subcommand; npm is the mechanism. If which codex resolves inside a Homebrew prefix (contains /Cellar/ or /opt/homebrew/), use brew upgrade --cask codex instead.
Pi's self-update command is pi update --self; pi update also updates installed Pi packages/extensions.
