# Update the plugin
1. Run `claude plugin marketplace update brigade`, then `claude plugin update brigade@brigade --scope user`, then
`claude plugin update brigade@brigade --scope project` — one per Bash call, from this session, so they act on
this session's configuration directory. Update BOTH scopes: the user-scope install is the one Brigade's docs
ask for and it serves every folder under this account; a project-scope install exists only where a repository
committed `enabledPlugins` for Brigade, and in that folder it is the one a session loads (settings precedence:
project over user). An answer of `not installed at scope …` is not a failure — it means that scope has no
install — so relay it in one clause and move on. Relay each command's output. (Updates also arrive on their
own when the marketplace entry carries `autoUpdate: true`; this skill is for updating right now.)
2. The new version loads only when the user runs `/reload-plugins` or starts a new session; nothing you can run
does that. The session's background watcher — the process that heartbeats and injects — is replaced by the new
version at the next prompt after that (0.5.1; before it, a running session kept its old watcher until it
ended). End with one line telling them to run `/reload-plugins`. If the update reports the plugin is already
current, say that instead.
