Sn Update

Updates the SenseNova skill bundle (all those sn-* skills) in your OpenClaw or hermes-agent install from the upstream GitHub repo. Works incrementally by comparing per-skill commit SHAs instead of treating the whole bundle as one version, so you only pull what changed. Backs up replaced skills into timestamped buckets and keeps the three most recent. The sparse checkout logic is thoughtful: it avoids bloating the cache when you're only refreshing one or two skills. Bilingual triggers for Chinese and English. If you're running SenseNova tooling and want to stay current without manually git-pulling into your agent's skills directory, this handles the plumbing and keeps a safety net.

Files

sn-update

Refresh installed sn-* skills from upstream SenseNova-Skills.

Decide the scope

No list given → every sn-* skill upstream.
Specific skills named → only those. Don't expand.
A named skill missing upstream → surface as error and stop.
User said "force / 强制" → re-install even when up-to-date.

Decide the target agent

Check which directories exist:

`~/.openclaw/skills/`	`~/.hermes/skills/`	Target
exists	absent	openclaw
absent	exists	hermes
exists	exists	ask the user — never silently dual-write
absent	absent	no install found, stop

Sync the upstream repo

Persistent cache at ~/.cache/sn-update/repo/. Default URL: https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-Skills.git. User may override with a fork URL.
