## What's New

### Headline

This update adds a self-updater skill that lets you check for new
pm-skills releases, preview what's changed, and update your local
installation . all from a single slash command. It also formally
releases the mermaid diagramming and slideshow creation skills that
were available since v2.9.1.

### New Skills

| Skill | What It Enables |
|-------|-----------------|
| utility-update-pm-skills | Check for updates, preview changes, and update your local pm-skills with `/update-pm-skills`. Supports `--status` for a quick version check and `--report-only` for a preview without writing files. |

### Updated Skills

No skills were updated in this release.

### New Workflows

No new workflows in this update.

### Other Changes

- New CI scripts: `validate-version-consistency` (hard-fail), `validate-gitignore-pm-skills` (advisory), `validate-script-docs` (advisory)
- `_pm-skills/` local state directory convention (gitignored)
- `/update-pm-skills` slash command with `--status` and `--report-only` flags
- User-facing guide at `docs/guides/updating-pm-skills.md`

### Opportunities

With `/update-pm-skills --status` you can quickly check whether you're
current without committing to an update. Try `/update-pm-skills --report-only`
before updating to see exactly what files will change and what new
capabilities are available. The self-updater means you no longer need to
manually download releases . future updates are one command away.
