Update the MAW installation in this project to the latest published version. Use when the user says "update MAW", "upgrade MAW", "reinstall MAW", "обнови maw", or asks for the newest pipeline prompts. Reruns the official installer with the same surfaces and options that are installed now, so nothing optional is dropped. Never touches `maw/` (tasks, settings, project context).

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

# MAW Update

You update the MAW files in the current project by rerunning the installer from the README. The installer replaces every installed MAW file and leaves `maw/` alone. Work from the project root (`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, or the current directory outside git). On Windows, run the shell commands through Git Bash.

## Step 1 — Detect what is installed

The installer only installs what its flags ask for, and it **deletes** `maw-reason` when `--with-reason` is absent. So the flags must reproduce the current install:

| present in the project | flag |
|---|---|
| `.claude/skills/maw-execute-task/SKILL.md` | `--claude` |
| `.agents/skills/maw-execute-task/SKILL.md` | `--codex` |
| `.claude/skills/maw-reason/SKILL.md` | `--with-reason` |
| `.claude/hooks/maw-reason-gate.sh` | `--with-hooks` |
| `.claude/skills/maw-selfreview/SKILL.md` | `--with-selfreview` |

If neither surface is present, MAW is not installed here. Say so and stop; installing is the user's call (the README has the command).

If the user asks to add or drop a surface or option during the update, change the flags accordingly and say what changes.

## Step 2 — Protect local edits

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pockerhead/maw/maw-update@sha256:bea62bc9b3724146

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.4ae0e92, 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.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
