At a glance

Update an installed EvoNexus plugin to a newer version from its source.

  • Works in 5 steps: Confirm installed + check for update → Show changelog and impact → Require explicit confirmation → …
  • The user asks to update
  • SKILL.md covers How to use, Error handling and Notes for the agent
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Plugin Update is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Update an installed EvoNexus plugin to a newer version from its source. Use when the user asks to update, upgrade, or bump a plugin to the latest version. Triggers on "atualiza plugin X", "update plugin X", "upgrade plugin Y".

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to update
  • Bump a plugin to the latest version
  • Atualiza plugin X
  • Update plugin X

Example prompts

  • “atualiza plugin X”
  • “update plugin X”
  • “upgrade plugin Y”
  • “/plugin-update”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm installed + check for update
  2. Show changelog and impact
  3. Require explicit confirmation
  4. Run update
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Plugin Update loads about 606 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~606

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 244 words (~606 tokens).

“Pull the latest version of an installed plugin and re-run the install flow with migrations applied safely.”
