What problem does it solve? CopilotKit agent skills can become stale when APIs change or new versions are released, causing the agent to reference outdated API names or incorrect information. This Skill refreshes the agent's CopilotKit knowledge by pulling the latest skill definitions directly from the source repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fresh Skill Retrieval: Runs npx skills add copilotkit/skills --full-depth -y to perform a fresh clone, bypassing any cached versions. - Cross-Tool Compatibility: Detects installed AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others) and updates skills for each one. - Use Case: When a user reports that a CopilotKit API name in the agent's responses doesn't match the actual library, trigger this Skill to reinstall the latest skills and start a new session to load the corrected knowledge. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to update or refresh the CopilotKit skills, then start a new session after the command completes.
