update

Multi-step workflow: Updates DeepWork standard jobs in src/ and syncs to installed locations. Use when modifying deepwork_jobs or deepwork_rules.

CRITICAL: Always invoke steps using the Skill tool. Never copy/paste step instructions directly.

A workflow for maintaining standard jobs bundled with DeepWork. Standard jobs (like deepwork_jobs and deepwork_rules) are source-controlled in src/deepwork/standard_jobs/ and must be edited there—never in .deepwork/jobs/ or .claude/commands/ directly.

This job guides you through:

1. Identifying which standard job(s) to update from conversation context
2. Making changes in the correct source location (src/deepwork/standard_jobs/[job_name]/)
3. Running deepwork install to propagate changes to .deepwork/ and command directories
4. Verifying the sync completed successfully

Use this job whenever you need to modify job.yml files, step instructions, or hooks for any standard job in the DeepWork repository.

Available Steps

1. job - Edits standard job source files in src/ and runs deepwork install to sync changes. Use when updating job.yml or step instructions.

Execution Instructions

Step 1: Analyze Intent

Parse any text following /update to determine user intent:

• "job" or related terms → start at update.job

Step 2: Invoke Starting Step

Use the Skill tool to invoke the identified starting step:

Skill tool: update.job

Step 3: Continue Workflow Automatically

After each step completes:

1. Check if there's a next step in the sequence
2. Invoke the next step using the Skill tool
3. Repeat until workflow is complete or user intervenes

Handling Ambiguous Intent

If user intent is unclear, use AskUserQuestion to clarify:

• Present available steps as numbered options
• Let user select the starting point

Guardrails

• Do NOT copy/paste step instructions directly; always use the Skill tool to invoke steps
• Do NOT skip steps in the workflow unless the user explicitly requests it
• Do NOT proceed to the next step if the current step's outputs are incomplete
• Do NOT make assumptions about user intent; ask for clarification when ambiguous
