What it does

Weft Updating is an agent skill from WeaveMindAI/weft. Read when the user asks to update or upgrade weft, or when something broke right after one: locating the checkout, the git pull plus setup.sh walk, what setup.sh rebuilds and what it preserves, and fixing a failed update.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A programming language for AI orchestrations.

When your agent uses it

  • Something broke right after one: locating the checkout
  • The git pull plus setup.sh walk
  • What setup.sh rebuilds and what it preserves
  • Fixing a failed update

Example prompts

  • “/weft-updating”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Look before pulling. git -C status --short and git -C log --oneline -3. Local changes force [the compile path], and a pull over them can…
  2. Pull. git -C pull. On conflicts you show the user the conflicted files, resolve with their input, then re-run the pull. If you catch…
  3. Run setup. cd && ./setup.sh. The default refreshes the CLI, the daemon (its images rebuilt when they changed, weft's runtime restarted or…
  4. Verify. weft --version (the new number), weft daemon status (running). If the daemon is not coming up, you read weft daemon logs --tail…
  5. Per project, after the update. weft catalog update syncs this project's stdlib copy to the new weft (a diagnostic naming the catalog or a…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e28f31. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Weft Updating loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 905 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 905 words (~1,498 tokens).

“[the checkout] is the git clone of weft on the user's machine; ./setup.sh in it is what installed weft. An update is git pull in [the checkout], then ./setup.sh, then one command per project. An update never edits a file…”
