FAQPage Schema
How do I check if the compound-engineering plugin is up to date in Claude Code?

To check if the compound-engineering plugin is up to date, run the update check skill in your Claude Code session. It compares the currently loaded version against the upstream main version and provides an update command if a newer release is available.

What is the best way to update a marketplace-installed Claude Code plugin?

The best way to update a marketplace-installed Claude Code plugin is to run a version check that probes the upstream plugin.json. It identifies if your installed version is outdated and outputs a ready-to-run update command specific to your marketplace environment.

Does the compound-engineering version check work with local development environments?

Yes, the compound-engineering version check works with local development environments. It diagnoses plugin freshness across both local development sessions and marketplace installs, providing appropriate update guidance for each context.

Why does my Claude Code session need a plugin version check?

A plugin version check is needed to ensure you are running the latest features and fixes. It probes the upstream main branch and your currently loaded version in parallel to determine if your compound-engineering plugin is stale.

How does the compound-engineering plugin update diagnosis compare versions?

The update diagnosis compares versions by reading the upstream version from the main branch's plugin.json file and matching it against the currently loaded plugin version in your environment, generating an update path if they differ.

Do I need the gh CLI to check the compound-engineering plugin version?

Yes, you need the gh CLI installed to check the compound-engineering plugin version. The skill relies on this dependency to probe the upstream repository and compare it against your currently loaded version.
