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.
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 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 …

How to install
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/update-aegis@sha256:543b14fb519d7a02The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.8d5b88e, 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.
