-
-agentful should detect when it's been updated and check if agents/skills changed.
-
-### Update Detection Workflow
-
-```bash
-# On startup, check for updates
-1. Read .agentful/last-known-framework-version.json
-   {
-     "version": "1.0.0",
-     "agent_checksums": {
-       "orchestrator.md": "abc123",
-       "backend.md": "def456",
-       ...
-     }
-   }
-
-2. Calculate current checksums for all agents/skills
-
-3. If checksums differ:
-   - Framework was updated (user ran npm update or pulled latest)
-   - OR User manually modified agents/skills
-
-4. Handle updates:
-   if context == "agentful_framework":
-     # We're in agentful repo - user made changes intentionally
-     "Framework updated. Changes detected in:
-      - orchestrator.md (improved)
-      - validation skill (new gate added)
-
-      Testing updated framework..."
-
-   else:
-     # User project - agentful was updated
-     "agentful framework updated.
-      New capabilities available:
-      - Enhanced orchestrator with work classification
-      - New validation gates
-
-      Would you like to:
-      1. Continue using current setup
-      2. Re-run architect to regenerate specialized agents
-      3. See what's new"
