Homebrew Users

If you installed via Homebrew, skillshare upgrade automatically delegates to brew upgrade:

skillshare upgrade
# → brew update && brew upgrade skillshare

You can also use Homebrew directly:

brew upgrade skillshare

Examples

# Standard upgrade (both CLI and skill)
skillshare upgrade

# Preview what would be upgraded
skillshare upgrade --dry-run

# Force upgrade without prompts
skillshare upgrade --force

# Upgrade only the CLI binary
skillshare upgrade --cli

# Upgrade only the skillshare skill
skillshare upgrade --skill

After Upgrading

If you upgraded the skill, run skillshare sync to distribute it:

skillshare upgrade --skill
skillshare sync  # Distribute to all targets

What Gets Upgraded

CLI Binary

The skillshare executable itself. Downloads from GitHub releases.

Web UI Assets

After upgrading, skillshare pre-downloads the Web UI frontend assets for the new version. These are cached at ~/.cache/skillshare/ui/<version>/ and served when you run skillshare ui.

If the pre-download fails (e.g. network issues), the assets will be downloaded on the next skillshare ui launch instead.

skillshare Skill

The built-in skillshare skill that adds the /skillshare command to AI CLIs. Located at:

~/.config/skillshare/skills/skillshare/SKILL.md
