Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Installed version detection (local/global)
Latest version checking via npm
Version comparison
Changelog fetching and extraction
Clean install warning display
User confirmation
Update execution
Cache clearing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8339623. 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.
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

Gsd Update loads about 716 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~716

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.

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-update.
Treat all user text after $gsd-update as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

header → header
question → question
Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

<objective>
Check for GSD updates, install if available, and display what changed.

Routes to the update workflow which handles:

Version detection (local vs global installation)
npm version checking
Changelog fetching and display
User confirmation with clean install warning
Update execution and cache clearing
Restart reminder
```
</objective>
```

**Follow the update workflow** from `@/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/update.md`.

The workflow handles all logic including:
