Brewcode Plugin Update
Check, install, and update the brewcode plugin suite (brewcode, brewdoc, brewtools, brewui). Execute all commands in the current session — never give "you should run" instructions.
Argument Handling
Skill arguments received: $ARGUMENTS
| Arg | Behavior |
|---|
| (empty) | Interactive — all 6 phases with AskUserQuestion gates |
check | Phases 0-2 only (status table), no prompts |
update | Phases 0-4, non-interactive "Update all" |
all | Phases 0-6 non-interactive |
Parse first token of $ARGUMENTS. Unknown or empty → interactive.
Critical Rules
- EXECUTE every
claude plugin ... command via Bash tool. Show full output.
- NEVER suggest
--plugin-dir for end users (dev-only).
- ALWAYS print the reload notice at the end, even on no-op runs.
- AskUserQuestion: options lists only, no free-text fields.
Phase 0 — Discover Installed Plugins
PRIMARY (CC 2.1.163+) — EXECUTE using Bash tool:
unset CLAUDECODE && claude plugin list --json && echo "✅ list OK" || echo "❌ list FAILED"
If the command succeeds and returns a non-empty JSON array, parse it directly. Each object has fields: id (<plugin>@<marketplace>), version (string, may be "unknown"), scope, enabled (boolean), installPath, installedAt, lastUpdated, optional mcpServers.
FALLBACK (CC < 2.1.163 or empty/error output from above) — EXECUTE using Bash tool:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/discover-plugins.sh" && echo "✅ discover OK" || echo "❌ discover FAILED"
STOP if both fail — report to user and continue without installed data (treat everything as missing).
Partition results into: suite = {brewcode, brewdoc, brewtools, brewui}, other = everything else.
Read references/discovery.md for details on both discovery paths.
Phase 1 — Fetch Latest Versions
EXECUTE using Bash tool:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/fetch-latest-versions.sh" && echo "✅ fetch OK" || echo "❌ fetch FAILED"
STOP if ❌ — report network issue, mark latest versions as "unknown", continue.
Merge with Phase 0 data.
Phase 2 — Status Table
Render markdown table to the user:
| Plugin | Installed | Latest | Status |
|---|
| brewcode | 3.4.51 | 3.4.52 | ⬇️ update |
| brewdoc | 3.4.51 | 3.4.51 | ✅ current |
| brewtools | — | 3.4.51 | ❌ missing |
| brewui | 3.4.51 | 3.4.51 | ✅ current |
Status legend: ✅ current, ⬇️ update available, ❌ missing, ❓ unknown.
Also list other plugins below with their versions (informational).
If arg = check → STOP here. Skip to Phase 6.
Phase 2b — Token-Cost Table (Optional)
Precheck:
claude plugin details --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "available" || echo "skip"
If unavailable → SKIP (proceed to Phase 3).
If available, for each installed suite plugin run claude plugin details <plugin>@claude-brewcode and render:
| Plugin | Base Tokens | With Skills | Hooks | Total |
|---|
| brewcode | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| brewdoc | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| brewtools | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| brewui | ... | ... | ... | ... |
Adapt column names to actual output fields. Missing field → —. Command failure for a plugin → ❓ for that row, continue.
Phase is informational only; do not block on errors.
Phase 3 — Install Missing
For each missing suite plugin, ask via AskUserQuestion (unless arg ∈ {update, all} — all auto-installs, update skips install).
AskUserQuestion (interactive only, if missing plugins exist):
Question: "Install missing brewcode plugins?"
Options: "Install all missing" / "Install selected" / "Skip install"
If "Install selected" — ask per plugin with options ["Install", "Skip"].
EXECUTE (idempotent):
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/kochetkov-ma/claude-brewcode && echo "✅ marketplace add OK" || echo "⚠️ marketplace add warning (may already exist)"
Then per plugin:
claude plugin install <plugin>@claude-brewcode && echo "✅ install <plugin> OK" || echo "❌ install <plugin> FAILED"
Show full output of each command.
Reference: references/install-prompt.md.
Phase 4 — Update Outdated
AskUserQuestion (interactive only; update and all auto-pick "Update all"):
Question: "Update brewcode plugin suite?"
Options: "Update all" / "Update suite only" / "Update selected" / "Skip updates"
EXECUTE full chain in order:
claude plugin marketplace update claude-brewcode && echo "✅ marketplace update OK" || echo "❌ marketplace update FAILED"
claude plugin update brewcode@claude-brewcode && echo "✅ brewcode update OK" || echo "❌ brewcode update FAILED"
claude plugin update brewdoc@claude-brewcode && echo "✅ brewdoc update OK" || echo "❌ brewdoc update FAILED"
claude plugin update brewtools@claude-brewcode && echo "✅ brewtools update OK" || echo "❌ brewtools update FAILED"
claude plugin update brewui@claude-brewcode && echo "✅ brewui update OK" || echo "❌ brewui update FAILED"
On failure: report exact error and continue. Reference: references/update-commands.md, references/update-prompt.md.
Phase 5 — Auto-Update Toggle (Optional)
Skip for arg ∈ {check, update}. Interactive or all only.
Auto-update for third-party marketplaces is OFF by default. Toggle per-marketplace via /plugin UI → Marketplaces → claude-brewcode. Exact settings.json key unverified — see references/autoupdate-research.md.
AskUserQuestion (interactive only):
Question: "Enable auto-update for claude-brewcode marketplace?"
Options: "Enable via /plugin UI" / "Skip"
Do NOT patch settings.json blindly. Instruct user to toggle via /plugin UI.
Phase 5b — Prune Stale Plugin Caches
EXECUTE using Bash tool:
claude plugin prune --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && claude plugin prune || echo "skipped: claude plugin prune unavailable"
Non-fatal: if CLI lacks prune, prints skip notice and continues.
Phase 6 — Reload Notice & Final Report
ALWAYS print the contents of references/reload-notice.md:
⚠️ Reload plugins to activate updates.
Preferred: run /reload-plugins in this session.
Fallback: type exit, then run claude again.
Final summary:
- Plugins installed this run: [...]
- Plugins updated this run: [...]
- Plugins skipped: [...]
- Errors encountered: [...]
