Qwen Update Checker

Automatic version checker for the qwencloud/qwencloud-ai skill pack. Compares the locally installed version against the latest release on GitHub and notifies the user when an update is available.

This skill is referenced by all other qwencloud/qwencloud-ai. When any skill runs, it checks if this skill is installed and delegates version checking here.

How It Works

1. Reads the installed version from version.json (the version field bundled with this skill).
2. Fetches the latest version from the remote repository (GitHub raw content).
3. Compares versions using semver. Returns {"has_update": true} if a newer version exists.
4. Records the check timestamp (last_interaction) in /.agents/state.json to rate-limit network requests to once every 24 hours.

Usage

Other skills invoke this script automatically. You can also run it manually:

python3 <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/check_update.py --print-response

CLI Arguments

Output Format

{
  "has_update": true
}

Configuration

State File

The last_interaction timestamp is stored at /.agents/state.json for rate-limiting. Check results are not cached in the state file. This file persists across sessions and is shared with gossamer.py for fatigue control.
