Look up the latest published @talkvalue/cli version on npm and compare it against the version you are running. If a newer version exists, the response carries a ready-to-copy install command tuned to the package manager that put the CLI on disk: npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun. The command performs no install; it prints the command to run.

​
Synopsis

talkvalue update

​
Options

This command takes no flags beyond the global flags. Output respects --format / --json.

​
Examples

​
1. Quick check

talkvalue update
Prints a single record with the installed version, the latest published version, an outdated boolean, and (when out of date) the install command for your package manager.

​
2. Detect outdated in a script

out=$(talkvalue update --json | jq -r '.data.outdated')
if [ "$out" = "true" ]; then
  cmd=$(talkvalue update --json | jq -r '.data.installCommand')
  echo "CLI is out of date. Run: $cmd"
fi
Use this guard at the top of automation that depends on a recent CLI feature. Combine with set -e and an explicit exit 1 if you want the script to halt instead of warn.

​
3. CI gate that fails when the CLI is stale

talkvalue update --json | jq -e '.data.outdated == false' \
  || { echo "@talkvalue/cli is out of date in this image"; exit 1; }
jq -e returns non-zero when the assertion fails, so the CI step fails, signalling the pinned @talkvalue/cli version in your image or workflow needs bumping.

​
Response

{
  "data": {
    "current": "1.5.0",
    "latest": "1.6.2",
    "outdated": true,
    "installCommand": "pnpm add -g @talkvalue/cli@latest"
  }
}
installCommand is null when outdated is false. The picked package manager is inferred from npm_config_user_agent. When the CLI is run directly from the binary the fallback is npm. The remote lookup uses a 10-second timeout. Network failures surface as a hard error rather than a stale “up to date” answer.
