How it works
- Reads the installation records from
~/.shipables/installed.json - For each installed skill, fetches the latest version from the registry
- Compares the installed version against the latest
- If a newer version is available, re-installs the skill (download, extract, copy, reconfigure MCP)
- Updates the installation record
