Update skills

Already have a SKILL.md file? Update specific sections without starting over:

npx typeui.sh update

The CLI reads your existing managed content, asks which fields you want to change, and rewrites only those sections.

How it works

1. The CLI finds existing SKILL.md files in your project (any provider paths that were previously generated)
2. It reads the managed block — the content between <!-- TYPEUI_SH_MANAGED_START --> and <!-- TYPEUI_SH_MANAGED_END -->
3. You select which sections to update (e.g. colors, typography, components)
4. The CLI prompts you for new values on those sections only
5. It rewrites the managed block, leaving everything else untouched

Any content you've added outside the managed block is preserved.

Preview changes

Use --dry-run to see what would change without writing anything:

npx typeui.sh update --dry-run

Target specific providers

Skip the interactive provider picker:

npx typeui.sh update --providers cursor,codex

The universal target .agents/skills/design-system/SKILL.md is always included.

When to use update vs generate

Use generate when you want a clean start. Use update when you want to iterate on what you already have.
