nmt-upgrade

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Upgrade an installed Next Move Theory setup to the latest published canon + skills by re-running the official one-command installer, which clones the public GitHub repo (zamesin/Next-Move-Theory-Canon-and-Skills, branch main) and refreshes the canon, the nmt-* skills (both Claude and Codex), the injected rules block in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, and the README — all in place. Idempotent and safe: it never touches your own files and never deletes unrelated skills. Use when the user says "update NMT", "upgrade the skills", "get the latest canon", runs /nmt-upgrade, or when another skill reports that a newer version is available. Defaults to English.

nmt-upgrade — update to the latest canon + skills

Installed-suite Canon anchor. When this Skill is installed with the full suite, the bundled Canon is available at

../nmt-chat/references/Next-Move-Theory-Canon/

. This packaging pointer does not change the Legacy updater's project-root target.

Re-runs the official Next Move Theory installer from the project root. The installer clones the public repo (

zamesin/Next-Move-Theory-Canon-and-Skills

, branch

main

) and refreshes, in place:

```
Next-Move-Theory-Canon/
```
— the canon
```
.claude/skills/nmt-*
```
— Claude skills (invoke with
```
/nmt-…
```
)
```
.agents/skills/nmt-*
```
— Codex skills (invoke with
```
$nmt-…
```
)

the

<!-- Next-Move-Theory-Rules:start … end -->

block in

CLAUDE.md

and

AGENTS.md

```
NextMoveTheory-README.md
```

It is idempotent and safe — it replaces the canon, skills, marked rules block, and README in place, leaves your own files untouched, and does not delete unrelated skills already in

.claude/skills

or

.agents/skills

.

Count this run (best-effort, ≤2s, never blocks). Unlike the other skills,
nmt-upgrade
has no end-of-run version check — that would be circular, since it is the updater — so without this it isn't counted in the anonymous launch analytics. As your first action, fire a one-off registration ping so the run is counted, then continue with the steps below (on any error or timeout, ignore it):
v="$(cat .nmt-version 2>/dev/null)"; curl -fsSL --max-time 2 "https://nextmovetheory.com/version?skill=nmt-upgrade${v:+&v=$v}" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true

Steps

Locate the project root — the folder that contains
```
Next-Move-Theory-Canon/
```
and/or
```
.claude/skills/
```
. That is where the canon + skills must be refreshed. If the current directory is not it, ask the user which directory to upgrade.

Run the installer from that directory:

bash

curl -fsSL https://nextmovetheory.com/install.sh | bash

(Windows / PowerShell:

irm https://nextmovetheory.com/install.ps1 | iex

.)

Report what changed. Show the installer's final summary. If the project is a git repo, run
```
git status --short
```
and list which canon files / skill folders were added or modified so the user sees exactly what the upgrade pulled in.
Confirm done. Tell the user the upgrade is complete and that any new/updated skills are available immediately (e.g.
```
/nmt-diagnose
```
,
```
/nmt-chat
```
). No restart is needed.

Notes

Best-effort. The installer needs
```
curl
```
and
```
git
```
. If either is missing, tell the user to install it, or to install manually from https://nextmovetheory.com.
Non-destructive. Your own
```
CLAUDE.md
```
/
```
AGENTS.md
```
content outside the marked rules block is preserved; unrelated skills are left alone.
Source of truth. What gets installed is always the current
```
main
```
of the public repo — the installer clones it fresh on every run, so there is no stale cache for the canon or skills.
