How does this differ from a standard plugin update?

While standard updates change the plugin itself, the upgrade skill evaluates 'generated' skills—the specific tools created for your project—ensuring they evolve as the underlying research graph grows.

What is the research backing mentioned in the proposals?

Proposals reference specific claims from the methodology graph, which contains principles and cognitive science grounding that justify why a specific procedural change is recommended.

Will the upgrade skill overwrite my custom code?

No, the skill never auto-implements changes. It detects user modifications and provides a side-by-side comparison, allowing you to choose whether to keep your version, replace it, or merge the upgrade.

Can I revert an upgrade if I don't like it?

Yes, every upgrade automatically archives the previous version of the skill to the 'ops/skills-archive/' directory, allowing for manual restoration if needed.

What triggers an upgrade check?

You can trigger the process by typing '/upgrade', 'upgrade skills', 'check for improvements', or 'update methodology' in your Claude Code interface.

生産性とワークフロー

Maintains and evolves generated skills by auditing them against the Ars Contexta research graph for methodology improvements.

The Upgrade skill is a meta-utility designed to keep your Claude Code environment at the cutting edge of domain-specific methodology. Rather than relying on simple version hashing, it performs a 'cognitive audit' by consulting the Ars Contexta research graph to determine if your current skills still reflect the best known practices. It identifies enhancements, corrections, and extensions, providing a transparent proposal process that includes research justification and risk assessments, while carefully preserving user customizations through side-by-side comparisons.
