`skills add` does not refresh a skill that is already installed, so the one install line left existing users with no documented way forward. Add the `skills update tty7` counterpart to both READMEs and give the agent-skill page a short Updating section covering update and remove.

### tty7
|
||
|
||
**A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.**

||
## Why
|
||
|
||
- **Performance** — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty ([benchmarks](#benchmarks))
|
||
- **Persistent sessions** — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
|
||
- **Editor-grade input** — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
|
||
- **Remote development** — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
|
||
- **Native SSH** — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
|
||
- **Agent-aware** — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
|
||
- **CLI + Skills** — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
|
||
|
||

||
[keyboard shortcuts](docs/reference/keyboard-shortcuts.mdx) ·
|
||
[config.json](docs/reference/configuration.mdx) ·
|
||
[CLI reference](docs/cli/reference.mdx). The agent-facing CLI interface is also
