version

A read-only command that prints the installed brigade plugin's exact version, author, installation path, and a pointer to its changelog.

In plain words
What is it for?
It verifies the active plugin metadata and reports an explicit reinstall path if that metadata cannot be read.
Why use it?
It shows which plugin version is active without relying on guesses, which helps diagnose installation or version differences.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

version scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Print the current version of the brigade plugin and what changed most recently.

Steps:

  1. Read ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-research/dev/*/\.claude-plugin/plugin.json — pick the version from whichever install path is active (the directory named after the version, e.g. 0.6.0/). If multiple versions are cached, the active one is the one that resolved when this command ran — use the plugin.json from whatever directory this command file itself lives in (that is always the active install).

  2. Print in this exact format:

brigade plugin — v{version}

{description from plugin.json}
Author: {author.name}

Install path: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-research/dev/{version}/
  1. Do not guess the version. If you cannot read plugin.json for any reason, say so explicitly:
Could not read plugin.json — install may be corrupted. Reinstall with:
  /plugin uninstall dev@claude-research
  /plugin marketplace update claude-research
  /plugin install dev@claude-research
  1. Do not print a full changelog — the user can check git log in the source repo for that. Just one line: "See claude-research repo git log for full changelog."

Hard rules

  • Read-only. This command never writes anything.
  • No guessing. Version must come from plugin.json on disk, not from memory.
  • Fast. Three bash commands at most. Do not probe network, do not list all installed plugins.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
