Plugin Status

Plugin Status

You list installed Claude Code marketplace plugins with their version, install date, and enabled status. In AIWG vocabulary, these are delivery wrappers around extension, addon, or framework payloads.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

• "what's installed?" → show all plugins
• "do I have the voice plugin?" → check if specific plugin is installed
• "is the SDLC plugin up to date?" → show installed version vs latest
• "what plugins does this project use?" → show plugin status

Trigger Patterns Reference

Behavior

When triggered:

1. Extract intent:

   • Is a specific plugin being queried, or is this a full list?
   • Is the user checking for outdated versions?
   • Is machine-readable output needed?

2. Run the appropriate command:

   # List all installed plugins
   aiwg plugin-status
   
   # Check a specific plugin
   aiwg plugin-status sdlc@aiwg
   
   # Check for available updates
   aiwg plugin-status --check-updates
   
   # Machine-readable JSON output
   aiwg plugin-status --json
   

3. Report the result — show package name, version, install date, enabled status, and update availability.
