SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Check if the compound-engineering plugin is up to date and recommend the update command if not. Use when the user says "update compound engineering", "check compound engineering version", "ce update", "is compound engineering up to date", "update ce plugin", or reports issues that might stem from a stale compound-engineering plugin version. This skill only works in Claude Code — it relies on the plugin harness cache layout.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Probes upstream and loaded plugin versions to determine freshness.
  • Recommends an update command when a newer upstream version is available and explains the steps to upgrade.
  • Handles both marketplace-cache scenarios and local development plugin-dir sessions, with clear guidance for users in Claude Code.

Quick Start

Run the three version-check scripts in parallel to determine if an update is needed.

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

The compound-engineering plugin version is checked by comparing the installed version against the upstream main version using dedicated scripts. It probes the plugin harness cache layout in Claude Code to determine freshness and recommend an update if needed.

Why does the compound-engineering plugin show a stale version after updating?

A stale compound-engineering plugin version can occur in marketplace-cache or local development plugin-dir sessions. The update skill differentiates these environments and recommends the correct upgrade command to sync with the upstream version.

Can I use the ce update skill outside of Claude Code environments?

No, the ce update skill only works in Claude Code environments because it relies on the plugin harness cache layout. It fetches the marketplace name and versions directly from the local plugin cache to determine if an update is needed.

What's the best way to automate plugin version checks for the compound-engineering plugin?

Automating compound-engineering plugin version checks involves running three scripts in parallel to fetch upstream and loaded versions. This determines if the installed plugin matches the upstream main version and recommends an update command if not.

Does the compound-engineering update check work with local development plugin directories?

Yes, the compound-engineering update check handles both marketplace-cache scenarios and local development plugin-dir sessions. It provides clear guidance on upgrading in either setup within Claude Code.
