/crawl4ai:update

Check for and apply updates to the Crawl4AI plugin and SDK.

Instructions

1. •

   Check current versions:

   • •Read the installed plugin version: cat ~/.claude/plugins/cache/crawl4ai-claude-plugins/crawl4ai/*/. claude-plugin/plugin.json 2>/dev/null and extract the version field.
   • •Check the installed SDK version: python3 -c "import crawl4ai_cloud; print(crawl4ai_cloud.__version__)"
   • •If the SDK is not installed, note that.
2. •

   Check for plugin updates: Run:

   code

   /plugin marketplace update crawl4ai-claude-plugins
   

   This refreshes the marketplace catalog from the remote repository.

3. •

   Check if plugin needs reinstall: After the marketplace update, compare the installed version with the latest available. If different, tell the user:

   code

   Plugin update available: v{old} → v{new}
   Run: /plugin uninstall crawl4ai@crawl4ai-claude-plugins
   Then: /plugin install crawl4ai@crawl4ai-claude-plugins
   

4. •

   Update the SDK: Run:

   bash

   pip3 install --upgrade crawl4ai-cloud-sdk[claude]
   

   Report the new version after upgrade.

5. •

   If using local mode, also update crawl4ai: Check current config mode: cat ~/.crawl4ai/claude_config.json If mode is "local":

   bash

   pip3 install --upgrade crawl4ai
   

6. •

   Report summary: Tell the user what was updated and whether a Claude Code restart is needed (restart is needed if the plugin version changed).
