nav-upgradeAutomates Navigator plugin updates. An agent skill from qf-studio/navigator.
Nav Upgrade is an agent skill from qf-studio/navigator. Automates Navigator plugin updates. Detects current version, updates plugin, verifies installation, updates project CLAUDE.md, and validates new features. Auto-invoke when user mentions upgrading Navigator or getting new features.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `functions/migrate_hooks_out_of_settings.py`, `functions/plugin_updater.py` and `functions/plugin_verifier.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Finish What You Start — Context engineering for Claude Code. Sessions last 20+ exchanges instead of crashing at 7. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bb9eac. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWriteEditTodoWriteFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitpython3claudecurlnpxFrom 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:
api.github.comFrom 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.
Nav Upgrade loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 709 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 noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, TodoWriteAutomated 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.

Update successful!If verification fails:
⚠️ Update completed but verification failed
Issue: visual-regression skill not found
Fix: Restart Claude Code to reload skills
After restarting, verify:
"Set up visual regression for Button"Prompt user to restart Claude Code.
IMPORTANT - Restart Required After All Updates:
Claude Code caches skill paths at session start. Even successful updates require a restart to load new skills:
⚠️ RESTART REQUIRED
Plugin updated successfully to vX.Y.Z.
Claude Code caches skill paths at session start.
To use new/updated skills:
1. Close Claude Code
2. Reopen Claude Code
3. Run "nav start" to verify new version
Without restart:
- Old skill versions continue running
- New skills won't be available
- May see "skill not found" errorsThis is a Claude Code behavior, not a Navigator issue. The plugin files update correctly, but the active session continues using cached skill paths from the old version.
After plugin update, automatically invoke: nav-sync-claude skill

git commit -m "chore: update CLAUDE.md to Navigator v4.3.0"See: nav-sync-claude skill for details.
.claude/settings.jsonv6.13.0+: Navigator's lifecycle hooks now ship with the plugin manifest
(.claude-plugin/plugin.json's top-level hooks field). Claude Code only
substitutes ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for hooks declared in a plugin manifest,
so the prior approach (merging hooks into the project's .claude/settings.json)
produced broken commands like /hooks/X.py (empty expansion). Hooks ship
with the plugin from v6.13.0 onwards.
For existing installs, the old hook entries are duplicated in
.claude/settings.json and must be removed to prevent double-firing:
PLUGIN_DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(cat "${NAVIGATOR_CONFIG_HOME:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/navigator}/plugin-root" 2>/dev/null)}"
[ -d "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills" ] || PLUGIN_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/navigator-marketplace"
python3 "$PLUGIN_DIR/skills/nav-upgrade/functions/migrate_hooks_out_of_settings.py" \

# Output:
# ✓ Backup written → .claude/settings.json.pre-migrate.<timestamp>
# ✓ Removed N Navigator hook entries (commands path matched)
# ✓ Preserved K unrelated user hooksBehavior:

the known Navigator hook names (nav_session_start, nav_pre_compact,
nav_post_compact, nav_workflow_state, nav_read_guard,
nav_task_graph_sync, nav_profile_sync, nav_commit_reminder,
nav_brief, token_monitor, workflow_enforcer)..pre-migrate.<timestamp> backup before any change.Fresh installs do not need this step — they never had hooks in
.claude/settings.json to begin with.
v7.0.0 migration note: the nine per-hook scripts were replaced by a
single dispatcher (hooks/nav_dispatch.py) routing to hooks/ops/* — the
old files no longer exist in the plugin. Any consumer settings.json entry
still referencing an old hook path (e.g. hooks/nav_session_start.py,
hooks/workflow_enforcer.py, hooks/nav_brief.py) is stale and now fails
with "No such file or directory" on every event. Run the same
migrate_hooks_out_of_settings.py step above — its basename list covers all
nine v6 hooks — then restart Claude Code. Per-hook state files are archived
automatically by the SessionStart op to .agent/.nav-v6-state.bak/
(replaced by .agent/.nav-runtime-state.json, schema 2).
⚠️ RESTART REQUIRED to activate hooks from the plugin manifest.
Claude Code caches plugin hook definitions at session start.Check if new features require setup:
# Check for skills with setup requirements

---
## Post-Update Checklist
After upgrade, verify:
- ✅ `/plugin list` shows new version
- ✅ CLAUDE.md updated with new patterns
- ✅ New skills auto-invoke on natural language
- ✅ Existing skills still work
- ✅ No conflicts in project configuration
**If all checked**: Update successful!
---
## Rollback
If update causes issues:
```
"Rollback Navigator to v3.2.0"
```
This will:
1. Uninstall current version
2. Install specific version from marketplace
3. Update CLAUDE.md to match
4. Verify rollback succeeded
---
## Integration Points
### With nav-sync-claude
After plugin update, automatically invokes `nav-sync-claude` to sync project configuration.
### With nav-start
After update, `nav-start` shows new features available in session statistics.
### With nav-init
If upgrading before project initialization, suggests running `nav-init` with latest features.
---
## Examples
### Example 1: Simple Update
```
User: "Update Navigator"
→ Detects: v3.2.0 → v3.3.0 available
→ Updates plugin
→ Updates CLAUDE.md
→ Shows: "visual-regression skill now available"
→ Suggests: "Set up visual regression for [Component]"
```
### Example 2: Already on Latest
```
User: "Update Navigator"
→ Detects: Already on v3.3.0
→ Shows new features available
→ Suggests trying visual-regression if not used yet
```
### Example 3: Update with Restart Required
```
User: "Update Navigator"
→ Updates plugin
→ Verification: Skills not found (needs restart)
→ Prompts: "Please restart Claude Code to complete update"
→ After restart: Verification succeeds
```
---
## Best Practices
1. **Update regularly**: Check for updates monthly
2. **Read release notes**: Understand new features before using
3. **Test new skills**: Try new features in test project first
4. **Report issues**: File GitHub issues for update problems
5. **Backup CLAUDE.md**: Keep backup before update (auto-created)
---
## Version History
- **v1.0.0**: Initial nav-upgrade skill (Navigator v3.3.1)
---
## Session-start notice (v8)
Since v8.0.0 the Navigator mod checks the latest GitHub release at session start (on by
default via `auto_update.enabled`, at most every `check_interval_hours`, never under Pilot)
and shows the update command. It never updates by itself; this skill, nav-start Step 1.5
and `claude plugin update navigator@navigator-marketplace` do.
## Future Enhancements
- Changelog display in CLI
- Update notifications for major versions
- Automated migration scripts for breaking changes

Nav Upgrade fits situations like: mentions upgrading Navigator; getting new features.
Run `npx skills add qf-studio/navigator --skill nav-upgrade -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/nav-upgrade in qf-studio/navigator) into .claude/skills/nav-upgrade in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add qf-studio/navigator --skill nav-upgrade -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/nav-upgrade in qf-studio/navigator) into .agents/skills/nav-upgrade 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 qf-studio/navigator --skill nav-upgrade -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/nav-upgrade, .gemini/skills/nav-upgrade, .github/skills/nav-upgrade and .opencode/skills/nav-upgrade in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Nav Upgrade needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git, python3, claude, curl and npx). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit, TodoWrite.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: api.github.com; 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 notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
