Refresh Other Local Environment

Follow these steps to refresh the local environment of other agents, ensuring that their agent skills and plugins are fully up-to-date.

Other agents rely on npx skills. Updates should prioritize the global level; if skills are installed at the project level, omit the --global flag.

Replace <AGENT_NAME> with the actual agent name, which can be found in the skills repository README.

1. List Available Skills: Identify all Firebase skills available in the repository:

   npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --list

2. Check Currently Installed Skills: Determine which skills are already installed and linked for the agent at both project and global levels:

   # Check project-level skills
   npx -y skills list --agent <AGENT_NAME>
   
   # Check global-level skills
   npx -y skills list --agent <AGENT_NAME> --global

   Note: If a skill shows Agents: not linked in the output, it is installed but not currently available to the agent.

3. Add Missing or Unlinked Skills: Compare the results from Step 1 and Step 2. For each missing or unlinked skill, follow the appropriate conditional instruction below:

   • IF any Firebase skills were found at the PROJECT level in Step 2: Add the missing skill to the project level:

     npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent <AGENT_NAME> --skill "<SKILL_NAME>" --yes

   • IF any Firebase skills were found at the GLOBAL level in Step 2: Add the missing skill to the global level:

     npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent <AGENT_NAME> --skill "<SKILL_NAME>" --global --yes

   • IF NO Firebase skills were found in Step 2: Add each missing skill to the global level:

     npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent <AGENT_NAME> --skill "<SKILL_NAME>" --global --yes

4. Update Existing Skills: Update all currently installed skills to their latest versions:

   # Update project-level skills
   npx -y skills update --agent <AGENT_NAME> --yes
   
   # Update global-level skills
   npx -y skills update --agent <AGENT_NAME> --global --yes
