Release Notes
Updates Update skills imported from GitHub Skills you import from GitHub now stay linked to their folder in the source GitHub repository, so you can pull in updates if the skill changes in GitHub. To update a GitHub-imported skill, open the skill's menu and click Update from GitHub to replace the existing skill with the latest version. Bolt doesn't sync skills to GitHub automatically, only when you ask it to. If you edit a GitHub-imported skill, it's disconnected from GitHub and becomes your unique copy.
