Validates internet access, compares the locally installed pm-skills version against the latest public release, and updates local files with conflict-aware overwrite-or-skip options. Produces an update report listing changed files, skipped files, and new capabilities. Use when you want to bring a local pm-skills installation up to date.

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.

# PM Skills Updater

This skill updates a local pm-skills installation to the latest public
release. It validates connectivity, compares versions, detects local
modifications, gives the user control over conflict resolution, and
produces a structured update report documenting every change.

The updater operates in three phases:
- **Pre-flight** -- validate internet access and determine version delta.
- **Update** -- fetch the latest release and apply changes with
  conflict-aware overwrite-or-skip logic.
- **Report** -- generate a markdown report summarizing what changed,
  what was skipped, and what new capabilities are available.

## When to Use

- When you want to update your local pm-skills to the latest release
- After a new pm-skills version is announced and you want to pull it in
- When you're unsure whether your local copy is current
- When onboarding to a team that uses pm-skills and you want the latest version
- When you want a structured summary of what changed between your version and the latest

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/utility-update-pm-skills@sha256:92676abbf2ab8b5a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
