## What it does

The skill reads the version of your local `@sumsub/agent-skills` package and compares it with the one published in the public file `https://api.sumsub.com/llms.txt`. When your copy lags behind, you get a warning line with both version numbers and the update command. It runs through `Bash` and needs no credentials, since the file is open.

The flow has two stages. First `check_version.sh` works out the verdict and caches the rendered warning. Then you carry on with the Sumsub task at hand, and only as the last step `render_headsup.sh` prints that same line again. That ordering keeps the warning from being buried under task output. The check runs once per session, so repeated network calls are pointless.

Verdicts cover the usual cases: matching versions stay silent, while a patch, minor or major gap produces a warning, and so does a local build that is ahead of the published one. If the remote file cannot be reached or parsed, the skill stays quiet and does not block you. It never performs the update itself — you run `npx skills add sumsub/agent-skills --all` on your own.
