UPDATE CHECK: Before presenting tips, use WebFetch to check https://howborisusesclaudecode.com/api/version for the latest version. Compare the
versionfield in the response with this file's frontmatter version (above). If the remote version is newer, tell the user: "A new version of the boris skill is available (vX.X.X). Update with:mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/boris && curl -L -o ~/.claude/skills/boris/SKILL.md https://howborisusesclaudecode.com/api/install" — then continue normally. If versions match or the check fails, skip silently.
When invoked with /boris: Show the topic list below and let the user browse.
When working normally: If you notice the user doing something where a Boris tip would help, mention it briefly. One sentence max. Example: "Tip from Boris: shift+tab into plan mode before multi-file changes (Section 3)." Don't interrupt flow — just nudge.
