update-vault

update-vault

Two jobs: pull updates for vault-tracked plugin sources, and regenerate skill-index.txt so vault-search reflects current state.

Steps

1. Resolve the inventory and vault dir per skills/_shared/inventory-path.md. Read inventory.json. If missing, tell the user to create it (per README) and stop.

2. Plugin updates (best-effort):

   • For each plugin entry, look for the marketplace cache directory (typically ~/.claude/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/<plugin-name> or similar). If it's a git checkout, run git -C <path> pull --ff-only and capture the result (updated / already up to date / failed).
   • If the path isn't a git repo or doesn't exist, mark as skipped (not git) — don't fail the whole run.
   • Collect results into a per-plugin status line.

3. MCP servers — surface available updates without applying:

   • For npm-style entries (command: npx, args containing -y <pkg>), note the package name. Don't auto-update; just report.
   • Skip everything else.

4. Skill-index regeneration (per skills/_shared/skill-index.md):

   • Open $VAULT_DIR/skill-index.txt for writing (truncate).
   • For each plugin in the inventory:
     • If the entry has a skills array ([{name, description}]), emit one line per skill: <name> | <plugin> | <description> (strip newlines and pipes from description, trim to ~100 chars).
     • Else, attempt best-effort discovery: scan the plugin's installed directory for skills/*/SKILL.md files; parse the frontmatter name and description; emit those lines. (Use head -20 per file plus a simple awk/grep for the frontmatter — don't load full bodies.)
     • If neither yields anything, emit a single placeholder: <plugin-name> | <plugin-name> | (no skill metadata — see plugin README).
   • Sort the output for stable diffs.

5. Report a summary: N plugins pulled (X updated, Y already current, Z skipped), M skill-index rows written.

Safety

• Never run git pull outside the marketplace cache directory.
• Never modify the inventory file itself — this skill is read-only against inventory.json.
• If a plugin directory has uncommitted local changes, skip the pull and surface the warning.

Output style

One status line per plugin during the pull phase, then a totals line, then the index regeneration totals. Don't dump file contents.
