Update Plugins

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:

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
