FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my Claude Code plugin version matches the upstream main HEAD?▼

To check if your Claude Code plugin version matches the upstream main HEAD, it reads the upstream version from main's plugin.json and compares it against the currently loaded marketplace cache version to detect any mismatches.

What is the best way to update a compound-engineering plugin in Claude Code?▼

The best way to update a compound-engineering plugin is to run the version check, which compares your installed cache version against upstream main and provides a ready-to-run update command when a newer version is detected.

Does the version check work with local development environments or only standard marketplace installs?▼

The version check works with both standard marketplace installs and local development environments, gracefully handling the Claude Code plugin harness cache layout to report whether it is running from a marketplace installation or local development.

Do I need the gh CLI installed to run plugin version checks?▼

Yes, you need the gh CLI installed as a dependency to run plugin version checks, because it is required to read the upstream version from main's plugin.json and compare it with the loaded cache version.

Why does my Claude Code session show an outdated compound-engineering plugin version?▼

Your Claude Code session shows an outdated compound-engineering plugin version because the currently loaded marketplace cache version does not match the upstream main HEAD, triggering a prompt to update using the provided command.
