finding-latest-julia-version SKILL.md skillA
finding-latest-julia-version from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins/finding-latest-julia-version@git:20260520.85bed5bPins git:20260520.85bed5b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when you need the latest stable JuliaLang version number (e.g., to fill `VERSION=` in an install script) instead of hard-coding a value.
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
# Finding the Latest Stable Julia Version
Hard-coding `VERSION=1.x.y` rots quickly. JuliaLang publishes machine-readable
metadata; query it directly.
## Preferred: official `versions.json`
This is the same source `juliaup` and the official installer use. Each release
carries a `stable: true|false` flag plus per-platform tarball URLs and SHA-256
hashes — useful both for picking a version and for verifying the download.
```sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
| jq -r 'to_entries
| map(select(.value.stable))
| map(.key)
| sort_by(split(".") | map(tonumber? // 0))
| last'
# → 1.12.6 (example, as of writing)
```
If `jq` is unavailable, use Python:
```sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
| python3 -c 'import sys, json
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
stable = [v for v, m in d.items() if m.get("stable")]
stable.sort(key=lambda s: tuple(int(x) for x in s.split("-")[0].split(".")))
print(stable[-1])'
```
To list the latest patch within a specific minor series (e.g., the newest 1.11.x):
```sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
| jq -r 'to_entries

How to install
mdr add hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins/finding-latest-julia-version@sha256:00caa6004cfeac7aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260520.85bed5b, 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.
