What it does

Canvasight Update is an agent skill from Niall-Young/Canvasight. Check for or install official stable Canvasight plugin releases. Use when the user asks “更新 Canvasight”, “升级 Canvasight”, “把 Canvasight 更新到最新版”, “检查 Canvasight 更新”, “Canvasight 有更新吗”, “update/upgrade Canvasight”, “check for Canvasight updates”, or whether the installed Canvasight version is current. Do not use for ordinary Canvasight troubleshooting, development-checkout Git pulls, canvas content edits, or updates to unrelated Codex plugins.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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 Media & Creative. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: 用于梳理任务然后交付给 AI 工具的 plugin 插件. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks 更新 Canvasight
  • 把 Canvasight 更新到最新版
  • 检查 Canvasight 更新
  • Canvasight 有更新吗

Example prompts

  • “更新 Canvasight”
  • “升级 Canvasight”
  • “把 Canvasight 更新到最新版”
  • “/canvasight-update”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f47e0bf. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • npm
    • codex

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Canvasight Update loads about 769 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~769

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.

Check for or install official stable Canvasight plugin releases. Use when the user asks “更新 Canvasight”, “升级 Canvasight”, “把 Canvasight 更新到最新版”, “检查 Canvasight 更新”, “Canvasight 有更新吗”, “update/upgrade Canvasight”, “check for Canvasight updates”, or whether the installed Canvasight version is current. Do not use for ordinary Canvasight troubleshooting, development-checkout Git pulls, canvas content edits, or updates to unrelated Codex plugins.

Canvasight Update

Use the bundled updater as the only update path. It compares the installed plugin with the latest official GitHub Release and, for an install request, upgrades the complete plugin snapshot through the canvasight-local marketplace. Do not copy individual Skills, MCP files, web assets, or cache entries.

Choose The Operation

  • Resolve the plugin root as two directories above this SKILL.md.
  • For a check-only request, run node <plugin-root>/scripts/update-canvasight.mjs --check. Never run --update, marketplace commands, or installation commands.
  • For an explicit install or upgrade request, run node <plugin-root>/scripts/update-canvasight.mjs --update.
  • Run exactly that one bundled-updater command and no other shell command. Do not run npm install, npm ci, another package manager, builds, tests, release preparation or verification, direct codex plugin or marketplace commands, Git commands, cleanup, or duplicate-file repair before or after it. The updater owns every permitted check, install, verification, and rollback step.
  • Parse the script's JSON result. Do not infer success from partial command output or run recovery commands outside the script.

Report The Result

  • update_available: report the installed and latest versions and say that no files were changed.
  • up_to_date: reply 你当前使用的 Canvasight vX.Y.Z 已经是最新版,无需更新。 Do not mention restart.
  • updated: reply Canvasight 已更新到 vX.Y.Z。请重新加载或重启 Codex Desktop,然后新建任务并重新 @Canvasight。重启由你自行完成。
  • ahead_of_release: report that the installed version is newer than the latest official Release and was not downgraded. Do not mention restart.
  • local_source: report that Canvasight is installed from a local development checkout, so automatic update stopped without changing it. Do not replace, pull, or edit the checkout.
  • unsupported_source: report that the installed source is not the official Niall-Young/Canvasight release source and was left unchanged.
  • version_unknown: report that the version could not be verified and the current installation was preserved.
  • release_mismatch, update_failed, rollback_failed, or error: state the script's concise error and whether rollback succeeded. Never claim the update succeeded.

Only updated means a new plugin version was installed and permits a restart notice. For every other status, do not ask the user to restart. Never delete or modify project .scatter data, attachments, ~/.canvasight, user source code, other plugins or Skills, unrelated Codex configuration, or a developer checkout.
