Refresh Other Local Environment

Follow these steps to refresh the local environment of other agents, ensuring that their agent skills and plugins are fully up-to-date.

Other agents rely on npx skills. Updates should prioritize the global level; if skills are installed at the project level, omit the flag.

--global

List Available Skills: Identify all Firebase skills available in the repository:
```
npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --list
```
Check Currently Installed Skills: Determine which skills are already installed and linked for the agent at both project and global levels:
```
# Check project-level skills
npx -y skills list --agent <AGENT_NAME>

# Check global-level skills
npx -y skills list --agent <AGENT_NAME> --global
```
Note: If a skill shows Agents: not linked in the output, it is installed but not currently available to the agent.
Add Missing or Unlinked Skills: Compare the results from Step 1 and Step 2. For each missing or unlinked skill, follow the appropriate conditional instruction below:
- IF any Firebase skills were found at the PROJECT level in Step 2: Add the missing skill to the project level:
```
npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent <AGENT_NAME> --skill "<SKILL_NAME>" --yes
```
- IF any Firebase skills were found at the GLOBAL level in Step 2: Add the missing skill to the global level:
```
npx -y skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent <AGENT_NAME> --skill "<SKILL_NAME>" --global --yes
```

Update Existing Skills: Update all currently installed skills to their latest versions:

# Update project-level skills
npx -y skills update --agent <AGENT_NAME> --yes

# Update global-level skills
npx -y skills update --agent <AGENT_NAME> --global --yes
