FAQPage Schema
How do I force-refresh a Claude Code plugin to the latest version?▼

To force-refresh a Claude Code plugin, you can use a skill that force-syncs the plugin from GitHub, bypassing the local update cache. This fetches the latest origin/master, reads the new version from plugin.json, and copies the fresh files into your local cache.

Why does my Claude Code plugin update cache show an old version?▼

Claude Code's plugin update caching can retain outdated versions when the marketplace clone is missing or stale. Bypassing this cache by resetting the clone and force-syncing from origin/master ensures the latest plugin version is read and cached locally.

How do I sync my installed Claude Code plugins with the latest GitHub release?▼

You can sync installed plugins with the latest GitHub release by force-fetching origin/master, caching the fresh plugin under its new version, and updating installed_plugins.json with the new version, cache path, and Git SHA for traceability.

How does GitHub versioning work when updating cached plugins in Claude Code?▼

GitHub versioning for cached plugins works by reading the new version from plugin.json after fetching origin/master. The plugin is copied to a local cache, and installed_plugins.json is updated with the version, cache path, and Git SHA to enable seamless activation.

Can I activate a force-refreshed plugin after bypassing the update cache?▼

Yes, after force-refreshing the plugin and updating installed_plugins.json with the new version and Git SHA, you can seamlessly activate the fresh plugin using the /reload-plugins command in Claude Code.

What happens if the marketplace clone is missing during a plugin update?▼

If the marketplace clone is missing during a plugin update, the force-refresh skill will bootstrap or locate the clone, synchronize it with origin/master, and cache the fresh plugin locally to ensure you are on the latest version.
