    • Check, update, or uninstall HolyCrab CLI

    HolyCrab checks for a newer stable version at most once every 24 hours. It may show a notice, but it never installs an update silently.

    If you installed an older version

    • v0.4.0 has no update or uninstall command. Rerun the installer for your operating system to install v0.4.4; your local credentials and records are preserved.
    • Use the Windows installation page for PowerShell, or the macOS / Linux page for Terminal.

    Update safely

    1. Read the daily notice

    Normal CLI use checks at most once per day. If the internet is unavailable, your current command continues without being blocked.

    2. Check manually

    Run holycrab update --check to see the installed and latest stable versions. Checking does not install anything.

    3. Choose to update

    Run holycrab update. If a newer version is available, it asks for confirmation, downloads and verifies files, then installs at the same location. Your settings are preserved; a failed health check restores the previous managed files.

    Understand the three different removals

    ActionWhat it removesWhat it keeps
    holycrab uninstallInstaller-managed CLI, matching Agent connection, and unchanged managed Skill files.API Key and known local task/upload records for a future reinstall.
    holycrab uninstall --purgeThe program plus known local credentials, submission records, caches, upload plans, and temporary authorization records.Cloud tasks/assets and the API Key on the website.
    Revoke on API AccessThe selected online API Key's future access.Your program and other account data unless you remove them separately.

    Uninstall step by step

    1. Choose default or purge

    Use default uninstall if you may reinstall. Use purge only when you also want known local HolyCrab data removed.

    2. Read one preview

    The CLI lists what will be removed and what will be kept. Modified or unknown files are preserved and reported.

    3. Confirm once

    Approve only after the preview matches your intent. Uninstall does not contact the HolyCrab API or delete cloud tasks/assets.

    4. Revoke separately if needed

    If the Key itself must stop working, open HolyCrab API Access and revoke it there.

    I want to run the commands

    Show update and uninstall commands
    holycrab update --check
holycrab update
    holycrab uninstall
holycrab uninstall --purge

    If it did not work

    • If an update fails, follow the shown repair command; the updater should restore the previous managed version.
    • If uninstall keeps a modified file or PATH entry, read the residual-path message before deleting anything manually.
    • If you purged locally but forgot to revoke the online Key, return to API Access and revoke it separately.
