Hope Agent ships a single binary (hope-agent) that dispatches into three modes by subcommand: desktop GUI, hope-agent server, and hope-agent acp. All three share the same release artifacts under [github.com/shiwenwen/hope-agent/releases](https://github.com/shiwenwen/hope-agent/releases) and the same Minisign-signed update manifest. The app_update tool is the single entry point for self-upgrade; this skill is the methodology for using it well.
Ha Self Update is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the package-mgmt sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ha-self-update/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use whenever the user asks about upgrades, new versions, release notes, or reports a bug that might already be fixed upstream — phrases like 'upgrade Hope Agent', 'update hope agent', 'check for new version', '升级一下', '有新版本吗', '帮我升级', 'is there a newer build', 'check release notes', 'install the latest'. Also use proactively when an `app_update(action=\"check\")` result shows `has_update: true` and the user hasn't been told yet.
The Ha Self Update Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 156,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
