Update Aegis

Update the installed Aegis Method Pack for the current AI coding host.

This skill is host maintenance. Do not edit the target project just because the user asked to update Aegis.

Default Semantics

• aegis:update updates the current host's registered Aegis installation.
• Updating every registered host requires an explicit --all request.
• If more than one host is registered and the current host cannot be identified, ask one concrete question before updating.
• Do not update a development checkout when the installed method-pack root is a separate path.
• Do not perform background automatic updates. The local registry may record updateMode, but this skill only performs explicit user-triggered updates.

Evidence First

From the installed method-pack root, inspect the host-scoped registry:

python scripts/aegis-update.py status --json

If the registry is missing, register the current host before updating. Use the host's install guide and actual discovery path rather than guessing.

If ~/.config/aegis/config.toml already declares method_pack_root, prefer that canonical root when registering additional hosts. Host-specific discovery paths, copied skill directories, plugin caches, or adapter payloads should be treated as generated / host-managed views into the same Aegis body, not as separate editable checkouts.

Codex example:

python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
  --host codex \
  --sync-mode junction \
  --discovery-root ~/.agents/skills/aegis \
  --reload-hint "restart Codex"

Copy-based host example:

python scripts/aegis-update.py register \
  --host codebuddy \
  --sync-mode copy-skills \
  --discovery-root ~/.codebuddy/skills \
  --reload-hint "restart CodeBuddy"
