(project) Use when editing any file under skills/ or plugins/ to bump the plugin version and check the manifests.

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.

What the file says

# Publish Plugins

Prepare the repo's plugins for release: work out which ones changed, bump their versions, and check the manifests still describe what is on disk.

Each plugin owns its version in its own `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, and the repo-root `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` carries no `version` fields:

| Plugin                    | Manifest                                                     |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `hal-skills`              | `skills/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`                          |
| `hal-output-styles`       | `plugins/hal-output-styles/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`       |
| `hal-grammar-check`       | `plugins/hal-grammar-check/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`       |
| `hal-session-auto-rename` | `plugins/hal-session-auto-rename/.claude-plugin/plugin.json` |
| `hal-voice`               | `plugins/hal-voice/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`               |

## 1. Find the changed plugins

```bash
git diff --name-only origin/main...
```

`skills/**` belongs to `hal-skills`, `plugins/<name>/**` to that plugin. Only the plugins with changes are candidates for a bump.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vinta/hal-9000/publish-plugins@sha256:5aca8775c88e285d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.cb041d1, 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.
