Refresh the user's project skills under `ai-tools/skills/` against the latest versions in this `vinta-ai-workflows` repo. Detects which project skills came from the bundled foundation set or stack templates, computes a per-file diff against the current source, presents the proposed changes, and only applies them after the user explicitly accepts each one. Skills the user authored themselves (no matching upstream source) are detected and left alone. Use after pulling a new version of…

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 project skills

[vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools](../vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools/SKILL.md) (specifically [vinta-derive-skills](../vinta-derive-skills/SKILL.md)) seeds a project's `ai-tools/skills/` directory from sources that live in this repo:

- **Verbatim foundation skills** — copied as-is from `vinta-derive-skills/resources/foundation-skills/<name>/SKILL.md`.
- **Templated skills** — the plan-execution unit (`implement-plan` + `implement-phase` + `review-phase` + `integrate-phase` + `amend-plan`) is rendered from the shells under `vinta-derive-skills/resources/plan-execution/shell/` (which `<!-- include -->` shared `partials/`) with project-specific values interpolated; `systematic-debugging` from `vinta-derive-skills/resources/systematic-debugging-template.md`.
- **Stack-derived skills** — drafted from prompts under `vinta-bootstrap-ai-tools/resources/stacks/<stack>/notes.md`.
- **User-authored skills** — anything else the team added later. **Never overwritten.**

When this repo gains an updated foundation skill (new section, fixed wording, bumped checklist), existing projects sit on the old copy until someone refreshes them. This skill is the safe path to that refresh.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vintasoftware/vinta-ai-workflows/vinta-update-project-skills@sha256:cd50ca700ccf44e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.e44c3b1, 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.
