Update Plugins
Update all installed plugin marketplaces concurrently, then reinstall plugins that have newer versions available.
Procedure
Step 1: Discover Installed Marketplaces
Run claude plugin marketplace list to get all registered marketplaces. Parse the output to extract marketplace names.
Step 2: Update All Marketplaces Concurrently
Use the superpowers:dispatching-parallel-agents pattern — launch one subagent per marketplace, each running:
claude plugin marketplace update <marketplace-name>
All agents run in parallel. Collect results from each.
Step 3: Update Installed Plugins
After marketplace updates complete, run claude plugin list to see installed plugins. For each installed plugin, update it:
claude plugin update <plugin-name>@<marketplace-name>
Run these concurrently as well. This uses version comparison — plugins already at the latest version are skipped.
Step 4: Report Results
Present a summary table:
| Marketplace | Status |
|---|---|
| name | Updated / Already up to date / Failed: reason |
| Plugin | Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| name@marketplace | vX.Y.Z | Updated / Already current / Failed: reason |
Error Handling
- If a marketplace update fails, report it but continue with the others
- If a plugin reinstall fails, report it but continue with the others
- Never abort the entire operation due to a single failure
