How does the skill check for new versions?

It fetches a JSON registry from the official GitHub repository and compares the latest version numbers against the local version files stored in your dev kit directory.

Does this skill overwrite my custom shell settings?

No, the skill creates a comprehensive backup of your configuration files (like .zshrc and .gitconfig) before any update, allowing you to restore them if needed.

What happens if an update breaks my terminal?

The skill includes a 'rollback' command that points to your most recent backup, restoring your environment to its previous working state instantly.

Can I choose which components to update?

Yes, the interactive flow allows you to update specific components individually—such as just the shell or templates—or update the entire kit at once.
