Upgrade ReachWeaver — copy-and-paste commands

The Claude Code plugin and the pipx Python CLI are separate installations. Updating one never updates the other. Choose the section matching your setup.

Recommended: both plugin and pipx

Run in your normal terminal, outside the Claude Code conversation:

claude plugin marketplace update reachweaver
claude plugin update reachweaver@reachweaver
pipx upgrade reachweaver

Then inside Claude Code, enter /reload-plugins or restart Claude Code. Verify from your normal terminal:

claude plugin list
pipx list
reachweaver version

The marketplace command refreshes its listing; it does not by itself upgrade the installed plugin. Updating is not publishing: none of these commands connect social accounts or send posts.

Update just the plugin

In your normal terminal:

claude plugin marketplace update reachweaver
claude plugin update reachweaver@reachweaver

In Claude Code: /reload-plugins or restart.

Update just the CLI installed via pipx

pipx upgrade reachweaver
reachweaver version

First install (not upgrade): pipx install reachweaver. If the command is missing after installation, run pipx ensurepath and open a new terminal. Do not confuse pipx upgrade reachweaver with upgrading the pipx utility itself.

Standalone skill, without Claude plugin

If installed in your home directory using scripts/install_skill.py:

python3 "$HOME/.claude/skills/reachweaver/scripts/run.py" update --check
# Review the release first; run the next line only if you approve:
python3 "$HOME/.claude/skills/reachweaver/scripts/run.py" update --apply --yes

Restart Claude Code. The skill updater verifies the release checksum and keeps a previous copy.

For a project-local skill, run in the desired project directory:

curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSKazemi/reachweaver/main/scripts/install_skill.py
# Inspect the downloaded script before executing:
python3 install_skill.py --project

The standalone skill update command cannot update a Claude plugin, a pip/pipx installation or a source checkout. An in-place skill update also refuses to modify files inside a Git checkout.

Other installation types

Installation	Upgrade
Source cloned with Git	git pull --ff-only inside the clone; developers should run python3 scripts/sync_skill.py to refresh skill/plugin mirrors
Installed with pip (not pipx)	python3 -m pip install --upgrade reachweaver in the environment used for installation
Installed with pipx from a specific wheel or Git source	Explicitly install a newer wheel or ref; do not assume a normal PyPI upgrade changes that pinned source
ZIP copied manually	Obtain a newer trusted release ZIP, verify checksum, and replace the skill manually

Never run reachweaver update --apply --yes to update a plugin or pipx package. It only replaces a standalone skill installed outside a Git checkout.
