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
- Reads the installed version from
version.json(theversionfield bundled with this skill). - Fetches the latest version from the remote repository (GitHub raw content).
- Compares versions using semver. Returns
{"has_update": true}if a newer version exists. - Records the check timestamp (
last_interaction) in<repo_root>/.agents/state.jsonto 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-responseCLI Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
--print-response | Print result as formatted JSON to stdout |
--force | Bypass 24-hour rate limit and check immediately |
Output Format
{
"has_update": true
}Configuration
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
QWEN_SKILLS_REPO | qwencloud/qwencloud-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.
