Restart the Vellum assistant and gateway services. Smart branch handling: pulls from main by default, restarts in-place on feature branches, or switches to a specified branch. Pass --pull to force-pull on the current branch.
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
# Update - Restart Vellum (with Smart Branch Handling) Restart the Vellum assistant and gateway services with branch-aware git behavior. ## Arguments The user may pass `$ARGUMENTS` to control branch behavior: | Invocation | Behavior | |---|---| | `/update` (no args, on `main`) | Pull latest from `origin/main` (default) | | `/update` (no args, on a feature branch) | Skip git ops - restart with the current checkout | | `/update <branch>` | Check out that branch, pull if it has a remote | | `/update --pull` | Force pull on whatever branch you're currently on | ## Steps 0. Ensure Bun is on PATH: ```bash export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" ``` 1. Preflight snapshot - capture current state before making changes: ```bash vellum ps ``` 2. Quiesce with `vellum sleep` - stop assistant and gateway processes. This is directory-agnostic and stops processes globally regardless of CWD: ```bash vellum sleep || true ``` 3. Verify stopped - run `vellum ps` and confirm no running processes. If `vellum ps` shows processes still running, run fallback cleanup to force-kill them: ```bash vellum ps ``` …

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/update@sha256:35604b556c32768fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260616.1d51808, 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.
