aiconfig-update — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
A deprecated redirect skill that routes agent requests to configs-update. It exists to maintain backwards compatibility with older prompts and documentation.
npx skills add launchdarkly/ai-tooling --skill aiconfig-update -a claude-codeWhat aiconfig-update does
This skill belongs to the launchdarkly/ai-tooling repository under the Apache-2.0 license. It serves as a stub. LaunchDarkly deprecated it after renaming the tool to configs-update.
The file contains no operational instructions or automated setup tasks. Instead, it instructs the model to ignore this skill and execute configs-update. The repository keeps this entry so older prompts or automations do not break abruptly. Adding it to a fresh configuration makes little sense because all functional instructions live in configs-update.
What it helps with
- redirect legacy agent calls to
configs-update - prevent models from executing outdated instructions
- find old tooling references across project prompts
Example prompts for the agent
- Replace legacy
aiconfig-updatereferences withconfigs-update. - Trigger
aiconfig-updateto verify the redirect target.
