What problem does it solve? Claude Code users running the compound-engineering plugin may fall behind the upstream release without noticing, leading to stale behavior or bugs already fixed on main. This Skill verifies whether the installed plugin version matches the upstream plugin.json on main and tells you exactly how to update if it does not. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Version Probing: Runs three shell scripts in parallel to fetch the upstream version from GitHub, the currently loaded version from the marketplace cache path, and the marketplace name. - Decision Logic: Compares versions and reports either an up-to-date confirmation or the exact claude plugin update command with the correct marketplace name. - Graceful Failure Handling: Detects when the GitHub CLI is unavailable or rate-limited, and when the skill is loaded outside the marketplace cache (e.g., local development with --plugin-dir), and explains what to do in each case. - Use Case: You suspect a bug in compound-engineering was fixed upstream. Ask to check the plugin version, and the Skill confirms whether you are current or gives you the one-line update command. ## Quick Start Ask Claude Code to check whether the compound-engineering plugin is up to date and update it if a newer version is available.
