# groove-utilities-check Checks GitHub for newer groove releases, compares semver tags against local files, and outputs an update command when outdated. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 537 installs · ★ 6 - Author: andreadellacorte - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-07-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/groove-utilities-check ## What it does This skill checks whether your installed groove setup is behind the latest release on GitHub. It queries `https://api.github.com/repos/andreadellacorte/groove/releases/latest` and compares the resulting tag against the version noted in `skills/groove/SKILL.md`. For speed, the skill first executes a bash script at `scripts/check.sh`. If bash is unavailable or exits non-zero, the model compares the semver strings directly after stripping leading letters. After every successful query, the current date gets saved to `.groove/.cache/last-version-check`. Network interruptions and GitHub API rate limits fail silently without throwing fatal errors. ## Requirements - Works with: GitHub ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-check -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/groove-utilities-check/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-check -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-check -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install andreadellacorte/groove groove-utilities-check ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-check -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove --path skills/groove-utilities-check ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add andreadellacorte/groove --skill groove-utilities-check -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-utilities-check/SKILL.md ## When to use it - check for newer groove releases on GitHub - compare the current version in `skills/groove/SKILL.md` against the latest release tag - obtain the `/groove-admin-update` command when an update is available - log the verification date in `.groove/.cache/last-version-check` ## Example prompts - Check if a newer version of groove is available on GitHub - Run the groove update check script - Verify my installed groove version against the latest release ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

Run it directly for faster, model-free execution: ```bash 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 ## Constraints - Fetch latest release tag from: `https://api.github.com/repos/andreadellacorte/groove/releases/latest` - If the API call fails (no network, rate limit): skip silently — do not error - Compare version strings as semver (strip leading `v` before comparing) - Always write today's date to `.groove/.cache/last-version-check` after a successful API call - If `.groove/.cache/` does not exist, skip the date update ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE f8b272c587db1d2d The third-party file has ended.
