update-moduleCheck for newer versions of tools used in Bactopia modules and apply updates to module.config files and CHANGELOG.md.
Update Module is an agent skill from bactopia/bactopia. Check for newer versions of tools used in Bactopia modules and apply updates to module.config files and CHANGELOG.md. Use when asked to update module versions, check for outdated tools, or bump container versions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run-bactopia-update.sh`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A flexible pipeline for complete analysis of bacterial genomes. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 29fb741. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
depot.galaxyproject.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Update Module loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Run bactopia-update via the wrapper script, saving the JSON to a timestamped record so /release-checklist can later confirm module versions were checked this cycle:
mkdir -p /home/rpetit3/repos/bactopia/bactopia/logs/module-updates
TS=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
bash .agents/skills/update-module/scripts/run-bactopia-update.sh --bactopia-path /home/rpetit3/repos/bactopia/bactopia --json --silent \
| tee /home/rpetit3/repos/bactopia/bactopia/logs/module-updates/$TS.jsonParse the JSON from that file. If the user specified a module name, add --module <name> to the command and do not write the record (a filtered run is not a full-repo check — only an unfiltered scan is a valid /release-checklist freshness record). logs/ is gitignored, so the record is scratch, not a tracked file.
Parse the JSON output. Separate entries into three categories:
needs_update: true): ready for automatic updateneeds_user_review: true): multi-package toolName, cannot auto-updateneeds_update: false): no action neededPresent results as a clean summary:
Ask the user which updates to apply (all or a subset). Do NOT proceed without confirmation.
For each confirmed update, read the module.config file at the path given by the config field, then edit three lines per module:
ext.toolName -- Replace the conda spec string (the text between the first " and the " before .replace) with the latest_toolName value. Keep the .replace() chain untouched.
// Before:
ext.toolName = "bioconda::bakta=1.11.4".replace("=", "-").replace(":", "-").replace(" ", "-")
// After (latest_toolName = "bioconda::bakta=1.12.0"):
ext.toolName = "bioconda::bakta=1.12.0".replace("=", "-").replace(":", "-").replace(" ", "-")ext.docker -- Replace the entire quoted value with latest_docker.
// Before:
ext.docker = "biocontainers/bakta:1.11.4--pyhdfd78af_0"
// After:
ext.docker = "biocontainers/bakta:1.12.0--pyhdfd78af_0"ext.image -- Replace the entire quoted value with latest_image.
// Before:
ext.image = "https://depot.galaxyproject.org/singularity/bakta:1.11.4--pyhdfd78af_0"
// After:
ext.image = "https://depot.galaxyproject.org/singularity/bakta:1.12.0--pyhdfd78af_0"For multi-process config files (e.g., genotyphi/parse has both genotyphi and mykrobe), use the tool field to match the correct ext.toolName line containing that tool name.

Check for newer versions of tools used in Bactopia modules and apply updates to module.config files and CHANGELOG.md. Update Module is an agent skill from bactopia/bactopia.md.
Update Module fits situations like: asked to update module versions; check for outdated tools; bump container versions.
Run `npx skills add bactopia/bactopia --skill update-module -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/update-module in bactopia/bactopia) into .claude/skills/update-module in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add bactopia/bactopia --skill update-module -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/update-module in bactopia/bactopia) into .agents/skills/update-module in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add bactopia/bactopia --skill update-module -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/update-module, .gemini/skills/update-module, .github/skills/update-module and .opencode/skills/update-module in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Update Module needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (bash). Our summary lists: A Bash shell; Docker.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: depot.galaxyproject.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Update Module is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Update Module: Simple English (moeru-ai/airi, 50k stars), StarRocks Release Notes (StarRocks/starrocks, 12k stars), Cutting A Release (TriliumNext/Trilium, 38k stars) and React Router Release Notes Prep (remix-run/react-router, 57k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
