OpenSpec Update Skill

Run openspec update to regenerate AI tool configuration files (skills, commands, rules) after upgrading the OpenSpec CLI package. This ensures your project uses the latest slash commands and skill instructions.

When to Use

  • After upgrading the OpenSpec CLI (npm install -g @fission-ai/openspec@latest).
  • When slash commands or skills seem outdated or missing.
  • After changing tool selections and wanting to refresh configs.

Prerequisites

  • OpenSpec CLI installed (see openspec-install).
  • Project initialized with openspec init (see openspec-initial).

Workflow

  1. Upgrade the CLI first (if not already done)

    • npm install -g @fission-ai/openspec@latest (or pnpm/yarn/bun equivalent).

  2. Run update

    • openspec update — regenerates AI tool config files.
    • openspec update --force — force update even when files are up to date.
    • openspec update ./my-project — target a specific directory.

  3. Verify

    • Check that .claude/skills/, .cursor/rules/, or other tool directories have been refreshed.
    • Restart your AI tool to pick up new skills if needed.

Outputs

  • Regenerated tool-specific config files (skills, commands, rules) matching the new CLI version.

Next Steps

  • Continue your workflow with openspec-new, openspec-explore, etc.

Troubleshooting

  • "openspec: command not found": Use openspec-install first.
  • "Project not initialized": Run openspec-initial (openspec init) first.
  • Skills not appearing after update: Restart your AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to reload skills.
