Check for GSD updates via npm, display changelog for versions between installed and latest, obtain user confirmation, and execute clean installation with cache clearing.
read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.
Detect whether GSD is installed locally or globally by checking both locations and validating install integrity:
```bash
# Check local first (takes priority only if valid)
# Detect runtime config directory (supports OpenCode, OpenCode, Gemini)
LOCAL_VERSION_FILE="" LOCAL_MARKER_FILE="" LOCAL_DIR=""
for dir in .OpenCode .config/opencode .opencode .gemini; do
if [ -f "./$dir/get-shit-done/VERSION" ]; then
LOCAL_VERSION_FILE="./$dir/get-shit-done/VERSION"
LOCAL_MARKER_FILE="./$dir/get-shit-done/workflows/update.md"
LOCAL_DIR="$(cd "./$dir" 2>/dev/null && pwd)"
break
fi
done
GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE="" GLOBAL_MARKER_FILE="" GLOBAL_DIR=""
for dir in .OpenCode .config/opencode .opencode .gemini; do
if [ -f "$HOME/$dir/get-shit-done/VERSION" ]; then
GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE="$HOME/$dir/get-shit-done/VERSION"
GLOBAL_MARKER_FILE="$HOME/$dir/get-shit-done/workflows/update.md"
GLOBAL_DIR="$(cd "$HOME/$dir" 2>/dev/null && pwd)"
break
fi
done
# Only treat as LOCAL if the resolved paths differ (prevents misdetection when CWD=$HOME)
IS_LOCAL=false
if [ -n "$LOCAL_VERSION_FILE" ] && [ -f "$LOCAL_VERSION_FILE" ] && [ -f "$LOCAL_MARKER_FILE" ] && grep -Eq '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' "$LOCAL_VERSION_FILE"; then
if [ -z "$GLOBAL_DIR" ] || [ "$LOCAL_DIR" != "$GLOBAL_DIR" ]; then
IS_LOCAL=true
fi
fi
if [ "$IS_LOCAL" = true ]; then
cat "$LOCAL_VERSION_FILE"
echo "LOCAL"
elif [ -n "$GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE" ] && [ -f "$GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE" ] && [ -f "$GLOBAL_MARKER_FILE" ] && grep -Eq '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' "$GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE"; then
cat "$GLOBAL_VERSION_FILE"
echo "GLOBAL"
else
echo "UNKNOWN"
fi
```
Parse output:
- If last line is "LOCAL": local install is valid; installed version is first line; use `--local`
- If last line is "GLOBAL": local missing/invalid, global install is valid; installed version is first line; use `--global`
- If "UNKNOWN": proceed to install step (treat as version 0.0.0)
**If VERSION file missing:**
```
## GSD Update
**Installed version:** Unknown
Your installation doesn't include version tracking.
Running fresh install...
```
Proceed to install step (treat as version 0.0.0 for comparison).
Check npm for latest version:
```bash
npm view gsd-opencode version 2>/dev/null
```
**If npm check fails:**
```
Couldn't check for updates (offline or npm unavailable).
To update manually: `npx gsd-opencode --global`
```
Exit.
Compare installed vs latest:
**If installed == latest:**
```
## GSD Update
**Installed:** X.Y.Z
**Latest:** X.Y.Z
You're already on the latest version.
```
Exit.
**If installed > latest:**
```
## GSD Update
**Installed:** X.Y.Z
**Latest:** A.B.C
You're ahead of the latest release (development version?).
```
Exit.
**If update available**, fetch and show what's new BEFORE updating:
1. Fetch changelog from GitHub raw URL
2. Extract entries between installed and latest versions
3. Display preview and ask for confirmation:
```
## GSD Update Available
**Installed:** 1.5.10
**Latest:** 1.5.15
### What's New
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## [1.5.15] - 2026-01-20
### Added
- Feature X
## [1.5.14] - 2026-01-18
### Fixed
- Bug fix Y
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
⚠️ **Note:** The installer performs a clean install of GSD folders:
- `commands/gsd/` will be wiped and replaced
- `get-shit-done/` will be wiped and replaced
- `agents/gsd-*` files will be replaced
(Paths are relative to your install location: `./.opencode/` for global, `./.OpenCode/` for local)
Your custom files in other locations are preserved:
- Custom commands not in `commands/gsd/` ✓
- Custom agents not prefixed with `gsd-` ✓
- Custom hooks ✓
- Your AGENTS.md files ✓
If you've modified any GSD files directly, they'll be automatically backed up to `gsd-local-patches/` and can be reapplied with `/gsd-reapply-patches` after the update.
```
Use question:
- question: "Proceed with update?"
- Options:
- "Yes, update now"
- "No, cancel"
**If user cancels:** Exit.
Run the update using the install type detected in step 1:
**If LOCAL install:**
```bash
npx -y gsd-opencode@latest --local
```
**If GLOBAL install (or unknown):**
```bash
npx -y gsd-opencode@latest --global
```
Capture output. If install fails, show error and exit.
Clear the update cache so statusline indicator disappears:
```bash
# Clear update cache across all runtime directories
for dir in .OpenCode .config/opencode .opencode .gemini; do
rm -f "./$dir/cache/gsd-update-check.json"
rm -f "$HOME/$dir/cache/gsd-update-check.json"
done
```
The SessionStart hook (`gsd-check-update.js`) writes to the detected runtime's cache directory, so all paths must be cleared to prevent stale update indicators.
Format completion message (changelog was already shown in confirmation step):
```
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ GSD Updated: v1.5.10 → v1.5.15 ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
⚠️ Restart OpenCode to pick up the new commands.
[View full changelog](https://github.com/rokicool/gsd-opencode/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)
```
After update completes, check if the installer detected and backed up any locally modified files:
Check for gsd-local-patches/backup-meta.json in the config directory.
**If patches found:**
```
Local patches were backed up before the update.
Run /gsd-reapply-patches to merge your modifications into the new version.
```
**If no patches:** Continue normally.
