Check qianwen-ai versions and notify users when updates are available.
Check for qianwen-ai updates and notify the user when a new version is available. TRIGGER when: user asks to check for updates, check version, asks 'is there a new version', 'latest version', 'update skills', 'check update', or any other qwen skill delegates to this skill, or user explicitly invokes this skill by name (e.g. use qianwen-update-check). DO NOT TRIGGER when: non-update-related tasks, general version questions about other software.
Understand the trade-offs.

# Qwen Update Checker
Automatic version checker for the **QianWen-AI/qianwen-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 QianWen-AI/qianwen-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 `<repo_root>/.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:
```bash
python3 <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/check_update.py --print-response
```
### CLI Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `--print-response` | Print result as formatted JSON to stdout |
| `--force` | Bypass 24-hour rate limit and check immediately |
### Output Format
```json
{
"has_update": true
}
```
## Configuration
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---------------------|---------|-------------|
| `QWEN_SKILLS_REPO` | `QianWen-AI/qianwen-ai` | GitHub repo for remote version check |
## State File
The `last_interaction` timestamp is stored at `<repo_root>/.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.
