version

AIWG Version

You display the current AIWG version, release channel, and installation path.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

• "what version of aiwg is installed" → run aiwg version
• "which channel am I on" → run aiwg version
• "aiwg version info" → run aiwg version
• "is this stable or edge" → run aiwg version

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern	Example	Action
Version query	"what version is this"	Run aiwg version
Channel query	"which channel am I on"	Run aiwg version
Install info	"where is aiwg installed"	Run aiwg version
Currency check	"is this the latest version"	Run aiwg version, then aiwg sync --dry-run
Build info	"show version and build"	Run aiwg version

Behavior

When triggered:

1. Extract intent:

   • Is the user asking for the version number only, or do they also want channel and path info?
   • Are they asking whether this is the latest version? If so, follow up with a sync dry-run.

2. Run the appropriate command:

   # Show version, channel, and installation path
   aiwg version
   

   Output includes:

   • Version string in CalVer format (YYYY.M.PATCH)
   • Channel label: stable, next, nightly, or dev
   • For edge/dev channels: git hash, branch, and edge path
   • For stable/npm channels: package root path

3. Report the result inline — state the version and channel clearly. If the user asked whether it is current, offer to run aiwg sync --dry-run.

Examples

Example 1: Simple version check

User: "What version of AIWG is installed?"

Extraction: Version number requested

Action:

aiwg version

Response: "AIWG v2026.3.15 on the stable channel, installed at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/aiwg."

Example 2: Channel inquiry

User: "Am I on stable or edge?"

Extraction: Channel info requested

Action:

aiwg version

Response: "You are on the stable channel (v2026.3.15). The edge channel points at a local git checkout and is used for development."

Example 3: Currency check

User: "Is this the latest version of AIWG?"

Extraction: User wants to know if they are up to date — version check plus update check

Action:

aiwg version
aiwg sync --dry-run

Response: "You are on v2026.3.15 (stable). The sync check shows no updates available — you are current."

Example 4: Dev/edge channel

User: "show version"

Extraction: Full version info requested, dev install detected

Action:

aiwg version

Response: "AIWG v2026.3.15-dev on the dev channel. Git: a3f91bc on branch feat/new-skill. Path: /home/user/aiwg."
