AIWG Version

You display the current AIWG version, release channel, and installation path.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

• "what version of aiwg is installed" → run `aiwg version`
• "which channel am I on" → run `aiwg version`
• "aiwg version info" → run `aiwg version`
• "is this stable or edge" → run `aiwg version`

Trigger Patterns Reference

| Pattern | Example | Action | |---------|---------|--------| | Version query | "what version is this" | Run `aiwg version` | | Channel query | "which channel am I on" | Run `aiwg version` | | Install info | "where is aiwg installed" | Run `aiwg version` | | Currency check | "is this the latest version" | Run `aiwg version`, then `aiwg sync --dry-run` | | Build info | "show version and build" | Run `aiwg version` |

Behavior

When triggered:

1. **Extract intent**:

• Is the user asking for the version number only, or do they also want channel and path info?
• Are they asking whether this is the latest version? If so, follow up with a sync dry-run.

2. **Run the appropriate command**:

   # Show version, channel, and installation path
   aiwg version

Output includes:

• Version string in CalVer format (`YYYY.M.PATCH`)
• Channel label: `stable`, `next`, `nightly`, or `dev`
• For edge/dev channels: git hash, branch, and edge path
• For stable/npm channels: package root path

3. **Report the result** inline — state the version and channel clearly. If the user asked whether it is current, offer to run `aiwg sync --dry-run`.

Examples

Example 1: Simple version check

**User**: "What version of AIWG is installed?"

**Extraction**: Version number requested

**Action**:

aiwg version

**Response**: "AIWG v2026.3.15 on the stable channel, installed at `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/aiwg`."

Example 2: Channel inquiry

**User**: "Am I on stable or edge?"

**Extraction**: Channel info requested

**Action**:

aiwg version

**Response**: "You are on the stable channel (v2026.3.15). The edge channel points at a local git checkout and is used for development."

Example 3: Currency check

**User**: "Is this the latest version of AIWG?"

**Extraction**: User wants to know if they are up to date — version check plus update check

**Action**:

aiwg version
aiwg sync --dry-run

**Response**: "You are on v2026.3.15 (stable). The sync check shows no updates available — you are current."

Example 4: Dev/edge channel

**User**: "show version"

**Extraction**: Full version info requested, dev install detected

**Action**:

aiwg version

**Response**: "AIWG v2026.3.15-dev on the dev channel. Git: `a3f91bc` on branch `feat/new-skill`. Path: `/home/user/aiwg`."
