AKA detections
Run the read script and show the user its output **exactly as printed**. The script already prints its content inside a Markdown code fence — reproduce that verbatim and do **not** add another code fence, strip the fence, or reformat it. The fence is required: it is a space-aligned monospace table that Markdown would otherwise collapse. Do not reformat the columns or restate each row.
node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/query.js" detectionsThis lists the detection packs installed in `~/.aka/data/aka.db` — one row per pack with its installed version, the latest version this plugin ships, rule count, enabled state, assigned enforcement policy, and whether an update is available. These packs are what the plugin actually scans with.
Detection updates are **never applied automatically** — a plugin upgrade only records what's newly available; the installed packs keep running unchanged until the user updates them. This skill is strictly **read-only**: do not apply, enable, disable, or re-policy a detection from here. If the user wants to update, tell them to run one of these themselves in a terminal:
- `aka detections update --all` — update every pack
- `aka detections update <pack-id>` — update one pack
- `aka dashboard` → Detections → **Update** — review and apply in the dashboard
