An update checker for the llm-tutor Claude Code plugin. It compares your installed version with the newest GitHub release and shows what changed.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It saves you from checking releases manually or upgrading without knowing what you will get. It also tells you the exact commands for the manual upgrade.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

tutor-update 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 5d ago.

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.

Tutor Update

This skill answers the question "is there a newer version of llm-tutor than the one I'm running, and what would I get by upgrading?" It compares the installed plugin-cache version against the latest GitHub release, prints the release notes when an upgrade is available, and provides the two exact slash commands the user needs to type to perform the upgrade.

llm-tutor is a Claude Code plugin, so its install/update lifecycle is owned by /plugin update llm-tutor@llm-tutor + /reload-plugins. A skill cannot invoke another slash command, so this skill stops short of performing the update itself. What it does instead is the version check + diff that makes the manual upgrade worth doing — and tells you when you can skip it.


Step 1 — Run the check script

bash "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/check-for-update.sh"

Echo the script's output verbatim. Don't summarize — the user wants to see the installed version, the latest version, and (when behind) the actual release notes.


Step 2 — Add a one-line context line

If the script reports "You're up to date," no further action is needed. Optionally note the current version.

If the script reports "Update available!", the script already prints the two commands. Add a single line of context:

"Run those two commands above to upgrade — the second one (/reload-plugins) is required for the new version to take effect in the current Claude Code session without a restart."

If the script reports "(couldn't reach GitHub)", suggest the user check their network and try again, or visit the releases page directly.


Hard rules

  1. Never invoke /plugin update from this skill. It's a Claude Code built-in slash command and skills can't trigger other slash commands. The user has to type it themselves.
  2. Never edit ~/.claude/plugins/cache/llm-tutor/ directly to "force" an update. That bypasses Claude Code's plugin registry (~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json) and leaves the install in an inconsistent state. The lifecycle is owned by /plugin update.
  3. Don't run if the user is mid-tutoring-session and has unsaved progress. Tutoring state is in state.json and survives updates — but a reload mid-conversation may discard the active turn's context. Mention this if the user has an active in_progress topic and is mid-dialogue.

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.
