StyleSeed Update Assistant

Automatically detect and update StyleSeed files in the current project.

Instructions

Step 1: Detect Current Setup

Scan the project to find where StyleSeed files are:

# Find DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md
find . -name "DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find CLAUDE.md
find . -name "CLAUDE.md" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find skills
find . -path "*/.claude/skills/ui-*" -o -path "*/.claude/skills/ux-*" | head -20

# Find theme.css
find . -name "theme.css" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"

# Find .cursorrules
find . -name ".cursorrules"

Report what was found and where.

Step 2: Check StyleSeed Version

Clone or pull latest styleseed:

if [ -d "/tmp/styleseed" ]; then
  cd /tmp/styleseed && git pull
else
  git clone https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git /tmp/styleseed
fi

Compare versions:

  • Check if DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md has the Table of Contents (new version does)
  • Check if Golden Rules exist in CLAUDE.md
  • Count skills (latest = 12)
  • Check if .cursorrules exists

Step 3: Report & Ask

Show the user what needs updating:

StyleSeed Update Report:

Current state:
- DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md: [location] — [old/current version indicator]
- Skills: [count] found (latest: 12)
- Golden Rules: [yes/no]
- .cursorrules: [yes/no]

Recommended updates:
1. ✅ [safe] Update skills (X → 12)
2. ✅ [safe] Add .cursorrules
3. ⚠️ [review] Update DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md ([old line count] → [new line count])
4. ⚠️ [merge] Add Golden Rules to CLAUDE.md (won't overwrite existing content)

Shall I proceed? (I'll ask before each ⚠️ item)

Step 4: Execute Updates

For each update, in order:

Always safe (do without asking):

  • Copy skills:
    cp -r /tmp/styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/ .claude/skills/
  • Copy .cursorrules (if not exists):
    cp /tmp/styleseed/engine/.cursorrules .cursorrules

Ask before doing:

For DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md:

  • Show diff summary: how many new rules, what sections added
  • Ask: "Update DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md? (Y/N)"
  • If yes: copy to the detected location

For CLAUDE.md (Golden Rules):

  • Check if Golden Rules section already exists
  • If not: ask "Add Golden Rules section to your CLAUDE.md? This adds 10 lines at the top. Your existing content stays untouched."
  • If yes: insert Golden Rules after the first heading

Never touch:

  • theme.css — say "Your theme.css (skin) is untouched."
  • components/ — say "Your components are untouched. Run
    /ss-lint
    to check compliance."

Step 5: Summary

Update complete!

✅ Skills: 12 (added X new)
✅ .cursorrules: added
✅ DESIGN-LANGUAGE.md: updated to latest
✅ Golden Rules: added to CLAUDE.md

Not touched:
- theme.css (your skin)
- components/ (your code)

Next: run /ss-lint on your pages to check for rule violations.

Important

  • NEVER overwrite theme.css
  • NEVER overwrite a project-specific CLAUDE.md — only MERGE the Golden Rules section
  • NEVER overwrite components without explicit user approval
  • Always show what will change before changing it
  • If unsure, ask the user
