glab-skills-update - Update installed agent skills to the current shipped version. (EXPERIMENTAL)

glab skills update [name] [flags]

Re-fetch installed agent skills from their source (bundled in this glab binary, or the curated remote registry) and overwrite the on-disk copy if it differs.

By default, updates only the named skill in every well-known location it is installed (the current project's '.agents/skills/' and the user-scope '~/.agents/skills/'). Use --all to update every installed skill in those locations.

Skills whose on-disk content already matches the source are left alone. Skills installed via 'glab skills install --path' are not considered — update only knows about the two well-known locations.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use. It might be unstable or removed at any time. For more information, see https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

--all[=false] Update every installed skill. (default false)

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.
