Check Version

Fast plugin version check — compares installed version against GitHub in ~70ms.

Usage

bash <skill-path>/scripts/check-version.sh

Returns JSON:

{
  "plugin": "bopen-tools",
  "org": "b-open-io",
  "local_version": "1.0.82",
  "remote_version": "1.0.83",
  "status": "outdated",
  "message": "Update available: 1.0.82 -> 1.0.83. Run: claude plugin update bopen-tools@b-open-io"
}

Status Values

Status	Meaning	Action
`current`	Installed version matches GitHub	No action needed
`outdated`	Newer version available on GitHub	Tell user to run the update command in the message field
`ahead`	Local is newer than GitHub (dev environment)	No action needed
`not_installed`	Plugin not found in cache	Tell user to install the plugin
`check_failed`	Couldn't reach GitHub	Network issue — not critical, continue working

When to Check

At session start if you want to ensure you have latest agents/skills
When a skill's behavior doesn't match its documentation
When the user asks about updates
Before giving advice about agent capabilities (outdated definitions could mislead)

The check is fast enough (~70ms) to run without noticeable delay. If status is outdated, tell the user and suggest the update command, but don't block on it — continue working with what's installed.

How to use this skill

1

Install check-version by running npx skills add b-open-io/prompts --skill check-version in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of check-version, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
