ds-update SKILL.md skillB

ds-update from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-update@git:20260824.3f5e382

Pins git:20260824.3f5e382 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pull the latest dinostack (DinoStack) release and reinstall selected adapters, or perform a fresh clone-and-install if no existing install is detected. Use this when you want to update an existing ins.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /ds-update

> Run the Activation preflight from `METHODOLOGY.md` before proceeding. If inactive, no-op and exit.

Pull the latest dinostack (DinoStack) release and reinstall selected adapters, or perform a fresh clone-and-install if no existing install is detected. Use this when you want to update an existing install to the current `main`, or when setting up dinostack for the first time inside a Claude Code session.

**Distinct from `/ds-update-agentic-engineering`** (shared prefix, opposite direction): `/ds-update` pulls the methodology *down* from upstream and reinstalls; `/ds-update-agentic-engineering` pushes methodology *edits up* to upstream.

**Distinct from related commands:**
- `/ds-init-project` - scaffolds a project's `AGENTS.md` hierarchy; this command installs or updates the dinostack tool itself.
- `update.sh` (shell TUI) - the non-agent interactive updater; this command provides the same capability through a guided agent flow.

## Step 0 - Detect install state and route

Resolve `AE_REPO_DIR` and decide which flow to run.

```bash
AE_REPO_DIR=""
AE_CONFIG="$HOME/.agentic/agentic-engineering-config.json"
if [[ -f "$AE_CONFIG" ]]; then
  AE_REPO_DIR="$(python3 -c "

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/ds-update@sha256:6eb045eb1a2f0c4c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.3f5e382, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
