## A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning `$gsd-update`.
- Treat all user text after `$gsd-update` as `{{GSD_ARGS}}`.
- If no arguments are present, treat `{{GSD_ARGS}}` as empty.

## B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use `AskUserQuestion` (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex `request_user_input`:

Parameter mapping:
- `header` → `header`
- `question` → `question`
- Options formatted as `"Label" — description` → `{label: "Label", description: "description"}`
- Generate `id` from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:
- `AskUserQuestion([q1, q2])` → single `request_user_input` with multiple entries in `questions[]`

Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no `multiSelect`. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:
- When `request_user_input` is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

## C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use `Task(...)` (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:
- `Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")` → `spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")`
- `Task(model="...")` → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
- `fork_context: false` by default — GSD agents load their own context via `<files_to_read>` blocks

Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → `wait(ids)` for all to complete

Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output: `CHECKPOINT`, `PLAN COMPLETE`, `SUMMARY`, etc.
- `close_agent(id)` after collecting results from each agent

<objective>
Check for GSD updates, install if available, and display what changed.

Routes to the update workflow which handles:
- Version detection (local vs global installation)
- npm version checking
- Changelog fetching and display
- User confirmation with clean install warning
- Update execution and cache clearing
- Restart reminder
</objective>

<execution_context>
@.agents/workflows/update.md
</execution_context>

<process>
**Follow the update workflow** from `@.agents/workflows/update.md`.

The workflow handles all logic including:
1. Installed version detection (local/global)
2. Latest version checking via npm
3. Version comparison
4. Changelog fetching and extraction
5. Clean install warning display
6. User confirmation
7. Update execution
8. Cache clearing
