Upgrade an existing FinFocus plugin project to a newer finfocus-spec SDK version. Use when a plugin's go.mod requires an older github.com/rshade/finfocus-spec, or when a plugin no longer builds after an SDK bump. Triggers on: "upgrade plugin", "bump finfocus-spec", "migrate plugin", "plugin SDK upgrade", "HandleDryRun ctx", "plugin upgrade", or any task updating a FinFocus plugin to a new spec version.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# FinFocus Plugin Upgrade

Move a plugin project to a newer finfocus-spec version. `finfocus plugin
upgrade` makes the edits that need no judgment. This skill covers the rest,
using one migration guide per hop in `references/`.

A **hop** ends at a release that needs plugin-author action. Hops are not
minor versions: v0.5.7, a patch release, changed a handler signature.

## Rules

- Show the plan and get approval before editing anything.
- Work on a new branch from a clean tree. Never stash or discard the user's
  changes yourself; ask them to commit or stash.
- Change only what a guide or a compile error requires. Do not change
  pricing math, adopt optional features, reformat files, or edit `vendor/`.
- Never delete or skip a failing test to get green. Fix the cause or stop
  and report it.
- Do not commit unless the user asks.

## 1. Plan

Run from the plugin's repository root:

```bash
finfocus plugin upgrade --dry-run --output json
```

If `plugin upgrade` is an unknown command, finfocus is too old: ask the user
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rshade/finfocus/finfocus-plugin-upgrade@sha256:6c9e37f643a9a8a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.f3d09f5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
