Check for and install BuildBetter Skills updates. Use when the user asks to "update skills", "check for updates", or "upgrade bb-skills".
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
# BuildBetter Skills Update Check for available updates to the optional BuildBetter Skills CLI installation. ## Instructions 1. Read the manifest at `~/.bb-skills/manifest.json` to find the current installed CLI version 2. If the manifest doesn't exist, explain that this updater applies to the optional `bb-skills` CLI, not the Codex plugin package itself 3. Run: `bb-skills update` (or `bb-skills update --check` if user only wants to check without installing) 4. Report the result to the user ## If bb-skills CLI is not installed Tell the user: > BuildBetter Skills CLI is not installed. This skill updates the optional CLI distribution, not the Codex plugin package. If you want the CLI too, install it with: > ``` > pip install bb-skills > ``` > Then run `bb-skills install <pack>` to install skill packs.

How to install
mdr add buildbetter-app/skills/bb-skills-update@sha256:a7bdce04bab8f712The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.1149f4a, 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.
