Update Motion Creative Plugin

Pull the latest version of the motion-creative plugin from GitHub and refresh the local cache.

Step 1: Locate Plugin Paths

Find the marketplace clone and cache directories:

MARKETPLACE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/motion-creative"
CACHE_BASE="$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/motion-creative/motion-creative"

If $MARKETPLACE_DIR doesn't exist, tell the user the plugin isn't installed via marketplace and stop.

Step 2: Check Current State

# Current cached version
cat "$CACHE_BASE"/*/. claude-plugin/plugin.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.version'

# Current marketplace commit
git -C "$MARKETPLACE_DIR" rev-parse --short HEAD

Step 3: Pull Latest

git -C "$MARKETPLACE_DIR" pull origin main --ff-only

If the pull fails (e.g., network error, dirty state), report the error and stop. Do not force-reset.

Step 4: Refresh Cache

Copy the updated plugin files from the marketplace clone into the cache:

# Find the active cache version directory
INSTALL_DIR=$(ls -d "$CACHE_BASE"/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1)

# Sync plugin contents (skills, config, MCP server)
rsync -a --delete "$MARKETPLACE_DIR/Plugin/" "$INSTALL_DIR/"

rsync --delete ensures removed files don't linger in the cache. The source is the Plugin/ directory from the repo — it contains .claude-plugin/, .mcp.json, skills/, and any other plugin files.

Step 5: Report

Show the user:

Version: previous version -> new version (read from the updated plugin.json)
Changes: git -C "$MARKETPLACE_DIR" log --oneline <old-sha>..HEAD to show what changed
Action needed: "Restart your Claude Code session or run /reload-plugins for changes to take effect."

If already up to date (no new commits), say so: "You're on the latest version (vX.Y.Z)."
