What It Does

You modified a clawhub-installed skill β†’ clawhub released a new version β†’ Skill-Updater updates while preserving your local changes.

How It Works

Step 1: Save modifications
  β†’ Scans skill directory, generates unified diff patch
  β†’ Backs up originals to .skill-updater/originals/
Step 2: clawhub update
  β†’ clawhub update downloads new version files
Step 3: Try to merge
  β†’ patch --dry-run attempts to apply changes to new version
  β†’ Success: written with your changes preserved βœ…
  β†’ Fail: show diff, user decides manually

File Structure

skill-dir/
β”œβ”€β”€ .skill-updater/
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ mod.patch       # unified diff of your changes
β”‚   └── originals/       # snapshot of original files at install time
└── [skill files]

CLI

# Dry-run: preview which skills have updates and conflicts
python3 git_update.py
Apply updates

python3 git_update.py --apply
Update specific skill

python3 git_update.py --apply --skill 
Show saved modifications

python3 git_update.py --show-patch
Discard modifications (accept new version, drop your changes)

python3 git_update.py --discard --skill

Conflict Handling

| Situation | Result | |-----------|--------| | Patch applies cleanly | New version + your changes preserved βœ… | | Same area modified by both | Show diff, user decides | | No local modifications | Direct clawhub update βœ… | | Choose to discard | Delete patch, accept new version |

Requirements

  • Python 3.8+
  • clawhub CLI
  • diff (coreutils)
  • patch (coreutils)

    • Before Installing

    1. Dry-run first β€” Always run python3 git_update.py without --apply first to preview 2. Backup β€” For important skills, manually back up your modifications before using --discard
