Summary

This skill guides AI agents through updating Git submodules to a specified version (tag, commit, latest, or HEAD). It delegates the core procedure to an external documentation file (update-git-submodule.md) and emphasizes confirming arguments with the user before proceeding. The skill has a narrow, well-defined scope around submodule version management.

Risk Signals

WARNING

External documentation dependency — skill references update-git-submodule.md but that file is not included in the submission for review

[update-git-submodule.md] link in SKILL.md

INFO

Incomplete context — core procedure is offloaded to external file, limiting ability to fully assess completeness and safety guardrails

Skill body

Use Cases

Update a single submodule to a specific release tag
Bump multiple submodules to their latest versions simultaneously
Pin submodules to a specific commit hash for reproducibility
Sync submodule references (gitlinks) after updating .gitmodules
Maintain submodule pinning across team members

Quality Notes

Skill correctly defers to external documentation and emphasizes user confirmation for arguments, reducing risk of unintended mutations
Scope is well-defined: focused only on submodule version updates, not broader Git operations
Argument validation logic is present ('ask the user before applying' if arguments missing)
Documentation structure is clear, using reference links and brief inline guidance
Limitation: the full procedure is external, making it impossible to assess completeness of edge case handling, error recovery, and safety guarantees without reviewing the linked file
Good security practice: skill does not auto-execute; requires explicit user confirmation
