/update-context-system ​

Updates command files from v6.x to v6.y. Not for pre-v6 migrations.

Overview ​

Downloads the latest v6.x commands while preserving your context files:

  • Updates .claude/commands/ (8 command files)
  • Updates .claude/VERSION
  • Preserves context/ directory (your documentation)
  • Preserves CLAUDE.md (your project entry point)

Important: This command is for v6.x → v6.y upgrades only. For pre-v6 migrations (v5.x, v4.x, etc.), use the migrate-to-v6.sh script. See Migration Guide.

Pre-v6 Detection ​

Before proceeding, the command checks for pre-v6 installations.

Pre-v6 indicators (any of these):

  • scripts/ directory exists
  • .claude/agents/ directory exists
  • context/SESSIONS.md exists
  • STATUS.md contains ## Quick Reference or ## Current Phase

If pre-v6 detected, the command stops and reports:

This project is on a pre-v6 version.

/update-context-system is for v6.x to v6.y upgrades only.

For pre-v6 to v6.0 migration, download and run the migration script:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rexkirshner/ai-context-system/main/migrate-to-v6.sh
chmod +x migrate-to-v6.sh
./migrate-to-v6.sh

See: https://acs-docs.pages.dev/about/migration

When to Use ​

Run when:

  • New v6.x version available
  • Bug fixes released
  • Want latest features

⚠️  IMPORTANT: Restart Claude Code to use new commands
   Claude Code caches slash commands at session start.

Next Steps:
  1. Restart Claude Code (exit and reopen)
  2. Test commands: /save

Session Restart Required ​

After updating, you must start a new Claude Code session to use the updated commands. Claude Code loads command definitions once per session.

  • In terminal: Type /exit, then run claude again
  • In VS Code: Close the Claude Code panel and reopen it

Manual Update ​

If the command fails, you can update manually:

bash
# Download latest
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rexkirshner/ai-context-system.git temp-acs

# Update commands
cp -r temp-acs/.claude/commands .claude/
cp temp-acs/.claude/VERSION .claude/

# Clean up
rm -rf temp-acs

Troubleshooting ​

Network Error ​

Problem: Can't reach GitHub

Solution:

bash
# Check network
ping github.com

# If network is fine, try manual update (see above)

Commands Not Working After Update ​

Problem: Old commands still running

Solution:

  1. Exit Claude Code
  2. Reopen project
  3. Commands should now work

Wrong Version Showing ​

Check:

bash
cat .claude/VERSION

Should show the latest version number.
