Project Detection

The update command automatically detects:

  • Non-ElizaOS Projects: Shows error message

Workspace Support

Monorepo Detection

  • Automatically detects workspace references
  • Skips packages with workspace:* versions
  • Shows which packages are workspace-managed

Example with Workspaces

$ elizaos update --check

ElizaOS packages found:
- @elizaos/core (workspace:*) → Skipped (workspace reference)
- @elizaos/plugin-openai (1.2.5)1.4.0
- @elizaos/plugin-discord (workspace:*) → Skipped (workspace reference)

Only non-workspace packages will be updated.
