What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by kwakseongjae/oh-my-design in skills/omd-update/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Update only the OmD installation the user already has. Preserve its project/global scope, installed channels, Cursor compatibility mode, DESIGN.md, references added by the user, and every file outside OmD ownership.
Workflow
-
Run from the intended project root unless the user explicitly requests the global installation.
-
Use the latest package as the executor:
npx oh-my-design-cli@latest updateFor a global installation, append
--global. For another project root, append--dir <path>. -
Never add
--force. The update command detects installed channels, preserves the existing scope, refreshes managed files, and runs the equivalent of a post-update doctor check. -
If the command reports a protected local difference, stop. Show the exact scoped repair command or manual action it prints; do not overwrite the file on the user's behalf.
-
Report the before/after state, preserved scope and channels, and any skipped drift. Do not claim success if the exit code is non-zero.
-
Tell the user to restart the coding agent, then run:
npx oh-my-design-cli@latest doctor --self-test
## Safety contract
- Do not switch project ↔ global scope.
- Do not install channels that were not already installed.
- Do not enable proof policy, hooks, or Cursor Agent Skills that were previously absent.
- Do not update deprecated MCP configuration.
- Do not use `--force`, delete drifted files, or replace symlinks automatically.
- Do not edit `DESIGN.md` or product files during an OmD update.
If no installation exists, explain that this is a fresh install and use `npx oh-my-design-cli@latest` only after the user confirms installation intent.
