/update

Upgrades your ECC install to the latest version from npm. Reads your existing install state to replay the same target and language options automatically — no flags to remember.

Usage

/update

What It Does

• Reads kodelyth-ecc-install-state.json from your install directory to recover the original target and languages
• Runs npx kodelyth-ecc@latest with those same flags
• Overwrites agents, skills, rules, and commands with the latest versions
• Leaves your memory store (~/.kodelythecc/memory/) and tasks/lessons.md untouched — your learned context is never overwritten

Implementation

The agent should run the appropriate command based on your platform.
