| name | vstack-upgrade |
| 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
-
Read the user's current version from ~/.claude/skills/schengen-master/VERSION
-
Fetch the latest version from GitHub by hitting the raw file:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torlyai/Schengen-master/main/skills/VERSION
-
Compare versions:
- If same: report "you're on the latest"
- If user is behind: list what's changed (read CHANGELOG.md)
-
If updating, ask user permission, then run:
cd ~/.claude/skills/schengen-master && git pull
-
Confirm the update and show what's new.
