Check Updates

Check for skills-for-fabric marketplace updates at session start. Compares local version against GitHub releases and shows changelog if updates are available. Use when the user wants to: (1) check for skill updates, (2) see what's new in skills-for-fabric, (3) verify current version. Triggers: "check for updates", "am I up to date", "what version", "update skills", "show changelog".

30-Second Summary

Check Updates is an agent-readable workflow from microsoft/skills-for-fabric for check updates.

It gives the agent a trigger, ordered guidance, and source-backed checks instead of treating check updates as a generic tool.

Use it as a brief only while the linked SKILL.md remains available and the risk boundary is still accurate.

1-Minute Read

What it is

Check Updates packages instructions from microsoft/skills-for-fabric into a reusable agent skill brief. The original source is a public SKILL.md file, so the brief can point readers back to the executable workflow instead of a product landing page.

When to use it

Use it when a user asks for help around check updates and the agent needs a repeatable workflow, checklist, or review path rather than broad background information.

How to test it first

Open the linked SKILL.md, confirm the trigger and procedure still match check updates, list the risk boundary, then ask the agent to apply the smallest read-only step to a sample task.

Watch out

Do not present this as a generic app or platform. Keep the scope tied to microsoft/skills-for-fabric. Risk boundary: CI/CD, deploy, release, rollback, and migration steps must start with read-only inspection and an approval gate; database, Fabric workspace, notebook, lakehouse, warehouse, or Power BI changes need credential and production-data approval; Microsoft Fabric-specific workflow; do not describe it as a generic data engineering skill.
