seed-update
Skill0 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Pull newer Universal Agent Seed machinery (hooks, scripts, skills, configs) into a project that was created from the seed — diff-reviewed, never blind, leaving the project's own knowledge/rules/code untouched. Use when the user runs /seed-update or asks to "update from the seed / sync seed fixes".

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 13
Update this copy's machinery from a newer seed at $ARGUMENTS (a seed checkout or an unzipped mise run export archive).
- Very specific: line 16
Read docs/UPDATING.md first — it defines the machinery/content boundary.
- Very specific: line 18
Compare versions: Read this copy's .seed-version (or .claude-plugin/plugin.json → version) and the source's version.
- Very specific: line 31
Verify: run mise run doctor and mise run test-hooks.
- Very specific: line 32
If this is a git repo, commit: chore(seed): update machinery to <version>.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Update this copy's machinery from a newer seed at $ARGUMENTS (a seed checkout or an
unzipped mise run export archive). If $ARGUMENTS is missing, ask for the path.
Read docs/UPDATING.md first — it defines the machinery/content boundary. Then:
- Compare versions. Read this copy's
.seed-version(or.claude-plugin/plugin.json→version) and the source's version. If the source is the same or older, say so and stop. - List machinery files (from
docs/UPDATING.md):.claude/hooks/**, the seed-provided.claude/skills/{reflect,learn,distill,bootstrap-stack,seed-update}/**,scripts/**,.github/workflows/**,.devcontainer/**, the MCP mirrors, and root config (dprint.json,lefthook.yml,.editorconfig,.gitattributes). Formise.toml, only the[tasks.*]blocks are machinery — preserve the project's[tools]stack choices. - Diff each one (source vs local). Show the user a concise summary of what changed per file. Apply nothing blindly.
- Never touch content:
.claude/knowledge/*,.claude/rules/core-rules.md,src/,README.md, and the project-specific parts ofAGENTS.md. (The<!-- BEGIN learned -->block inAGENTS.mdis fine to refresh viamise run mirror-rules.) - Apply the approved changes. Update
.seed-versionto the source version. - Verify: run
mise run doctorandmise run test-hooks; report results. - If this is a git repo, commit:
chore(seed): update machinery to <version>.
Be conservative: when a machinery file has local edits that look intentional (not just stale), flag the conflict and ask which version wins rather than overwriting.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
