update-aegis skillA

update-aegis is agent-read markdown (skill) from ganyuanran/aegis: Use when the user says `aegis:update`, asks to update or upgrade an installed Aegis method-pack, wants the latest Aegis version, or asks whether Aegis is current on this host..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Update Aegis

Update the installed Aegis Method Pack for the current AI coding host.

This skill is host maintenance. Do not edit the target project just because the
user asked to update Aegis.

## Default Semantics

- `aegis:update` updates the current host's registered Aegis installation.
- Updating every registered host requires an explicit `--all` request.
- If more than one host is registered and the current host cannot be identified,
  ask one concrete question before updating.
- Do not update a development checkout when the installed method-pack root is a
  separate path.
- Do not perform background automatic updates. The local registry may record
  `updateMode`, but this skill only performs explicit user-triggered updates.

## Evidence First

From the installed method-pack root, inspect the host-scoped registry:

```bash
python scripts/aegis-update.py status --json
```

If the registry is missing, register the current host before updating. Use the
host's install guide and actual discovery path rather than guessing.

If `~/.config/aegis/config.toml` already declares `method_pack_root`, prefer
that canonical root when registering additional hosts. Host-specific discovery
