Groove Utilities Check

Checks whether you're running the latest version of groove by hitting the GitHub releases API and comparing it against what's in your local skills directory. Runs a bash script first if available for speed, otherwise falls back to standard steps. The smart bit is it caches the last check date so you're not hammering GitHub every time, and it fails silently if the network is down rather than blocking your workflow. When you're behind, it tells you exactly what command to run to upgrade. It's basic housekeeping automation, the kind of thing you'd forget to do manually until something breaks.

Bash fast-path

This skill has a bash script at scripts/check.sh. Run it directly for faster, model-free execution:

bash .agents/skills/groove-utilities-check/scripts/check.sh

If the script exits 0, report its stdout and stop — do not continue with the steps below. If it exits non-zero or bash is unavailable, continue with the markdown steps.

Outcome

The latest published groove version is compared against the installed version. If a newer version is available, the user is clearly notified with the upgrade command.

Acceptance Criteria

Latest tag is fetched from GitHub
Installed version (from skills/groove/SKILL.md) is compared against latest tag
If behind: user sees "⚠ New version of groove available: v (installed: v) — run: /groove-admin-update"
If up to date: user sees "groove is up to date (v)"
.groove/.cache/last-version-check is updated to today's date after check runs
