Use when updating Plastic. Runs the `update` verb, which reads the installed VERSION, derives its channel, queries npm dist-tags, and advances to the next version on that channel (or switches channel with a flag).

Wrap, finish, close, or mark an intent Done, delivered or abandoned. Use when completing or abandoning an intent, when a checklist reaches 100 percent and Exec is finished, or when asked to "wrap this up".
Autonomous intent delivery - agent takes over How and Exec. Use when user says "auto", "take it from here", "deliver this", or when brainstorming-grill-me concludes and user confirms autonomous execution. Requires an active intent in INDEX.md.
Use when diagnosing Plastic installation health, after updates, or when something seems broken. Runs checks and reports findings with fix options.
Use when merging a feature branch to main and tagging a release, bumping the version, or when the user says "release", "tag", or "ship it"
Use when completing or reviewing intents, reorganizing the index, or when the intent store needs maintenance. Examples: <example>Context: User has finished implementing a feature. user: "This intent is done, clean up the index" assistant: "I'll use the intent-curator to update the intent status and reorganize INDEX.md" <commentary>Intent lifecycle change triggers curator for index maintenance.</commentary></example> <example>Context: The intent store has grown and clusters need review. user: "Organize the intents" assistant: "I'll use the intent-curator to review clusters, flag orphans, and suggest connections" <commentary>Periodic maintenance of the Zettelkasten structure.</commentary></example>
Board a session onto an intent: take the lock FIRST, confirm savepoint state, ask auto or guided ONCE, then resume at the latest delivered station and run the cycle to Done. Use on `continuing --intent {id}`, when a new intent is registered and the user asks to work it, or when the user picks an intent to work. Requires the intent in INDEX `## Active`.

update is a single deterministic command. It reads ~/.plastic/VERSION, derives the
channel from the version string (-alpha/-beta/none -> stable), queries npm dist-tags,
and advances to the next version on the current channel. "Already up to date" is a
clean no-op. You do not compute the target yourself, the script does.
If Plastic is installed, derive <channel> from ~/.plastic/VERSION: a version containing
-alpha means @alpha, -beta means @beta, otherwise @latest. If not installed
(first install), default to @latest. The user can always override with
--alpha / --beta / --latest.
| Flag | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| (none) | Advance to the next version on the current channel |
--latest | Switch to / advance the stable channel (toward stability, frictionless) |
--beta | Switch to / advance the beta channel |
--alpha | Switch to / advance the alpha channel (bleeding edge, confirmed if moving down in stability) |
Switching toward a more stable channel is frictionless; switching toward bleeding edge is
confirmed. To roll back to a previously-installed version, use plastic-rollback.
Plastic must be installed (~/.plastic/VERSION present). If not, run plastic-install
first (or npx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude directly).
npx -y @zalom/plastic@<channel> update
# channel switch: append --beta / --latest / --alpha
# to target a specific harness instead of every installed one: --claude / --codex / --hermes / --all
bunx -y @zalom/plastic@<channel> update works as a fallback if npx is unavailable.
With no harness flag, update targets every currently-installed harness (read from
each agent's own <agent-dir>/plastic/VERSION), never Claude alone. Pass an explicit flag
only to target one harness specifically.
If the core is already on the target version but a targeted harness's own record is stale
or missing (for example a harness added after the last sync), update still re-syncs that
harness at the same version instead of reporting a clean no-op (same-version repair).
The command prints the transition (vX -> vY) or "already up to date", a per-agent
transaction summary when more than one harness synced, runs a post-update doctor summary
per synced harness, and records one versions.json ledger row per synced harness (each
row's harness field names which one).
If update's own output (Step 1) printed a "Config question(s) introduced by
this update" block, relay each question to the user exactly as printed
(question, options, and the write-config command for each option). Do not
invent or hardcode a specific question here: it comes from the CLI's fresh
output (config_asks.yml, read by code that just synced from the new version),
never from this skill file, which is always one release behind and cannot know
what a future release will ask.
Once the user picks an option, run the printed write-config command for that
option, for example:
ruby ~/.plastic/scripts/write-config advisor.claude.default plastic-faux-advisor
If they say "not now" / want to keep the default, run the printed dismissal command instead, for example:
ruby ~/.plastic/scripts/write-config config_asks_dismissed --push advisor-default
If update printed nothing under that heading, skip this step silently - there
is nothing pending. A question already answered or dismissed is never re-asked
(both the CLI print and the doctor check verify this before showing anything),
and a pending question missed here still shows up as a config_asks warn on
the next /plastic-doctor run, so nothing is silently lost.
Relay what update printed, do not recompute the version transition or the doctor
summary:
Plastic update (<channel>)
Command: npx -y @zalom/plastic@<channel> update <flags>
Version: <before> -> <after>
Doctor: <relayed summary, or "all clear">
Then read ~/.plastic/PLASTIC.md and announce convention changes that affect the
current session, and recommend /clear for a clean session with all new conventions
loaded.
If the relayed doctor summary shows a failure, invoke plastic-doctor for the full
report and offer to fix. If it already reads clean, do not re-run doctor.
