upgrade is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,109 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking and applying updates to an installed Claude Code plugin through its official update mechanism. It also checks whether automatic updates are enabled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the current plugin version, review available updates, apply an update, and enable marketplace auto-updates when requested.
Why use it?
It avoids manual edits to installed plugin files and makes the available version change and update setting explicit.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add bdfinst/agentic-dev-team
Claude Code
/plugin install dev-team

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install dev-team, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 98 skills, 54 agents, 4 hooks.

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

upgrade 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_version_drift.py, scripts/enable_autoupdate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Upgrade

Role: worker. This command updates the dev-team plugin to the latest version and ensures its marketplace is set to auto-update going forward.

Arguments: none.

You have been invoked with the /upgrade command.

Worker constraints

  1. Use the official plugin update mechanism; do not hand-edit installed plugin files.
  2. Report available updates before applying.
  3. Be concise. Report version deltas only.

Steps

1. Read current version

Read the installed plugin's plugin.json to get the current version:

claude plugin list

Parse the output to find dev-team and its current version. Also read the installed plugin.json directly:

~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/dev-team/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

Report:

Current version: dev-team v{version} (installed from {marketplace})

2. Check auto-update status and ask the user

First, report the current auto-update status (enabled, disabled, or unknown):

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/upgrade/scripts/enable_autoupdate.py" --check

Then ask the user:

Auto-update for the {marketplace} marketplace is currently {enabled/disabled}. Would you like to enable auto-update so future releases install automatically? (yes/no)

Wait for the user's answer before continuing. If they say yes, run the enable block below. If they say no, skip to step 3.

Enable block (run only if the user consents):

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/upgrade/scripts/enable_autoupdate.py" --enable

This sets extraKnownMarketplaces.<marketplace>.autoUpdate: true (project settings first, else the config-dir user settings, seeding the entry from the marketplace registry when needed). It is idempotent — re-running reports "already enabled". Report the one-line result to the user, then continue to step 3.

The same script backs the cloud bootstrap (.claude/cloud-setup.sh, .claude/install-dev-team.sh), which runs --enable non-interactively — one implementation of the flag, no duplication to keep in sync.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
