Keep the plugin updated

The plugin ships improvements weekly. Two chat phrases cover most of what you need:

• "What's new in mixshift?" shows the changes since your installed version.
• "Update the mixshift plugin" walks you through the update for your surface and then tells you if anything needs a follow-up step.

Manual update, by surface

• Claude Code: run /plugin marketplace update mixshift, then /plugin update mixshift-ai.
• Cowork (personal install): open the Directory view, find the MixShift marketplace, open the three-dot menu, and choose Check for updates. If you turned on Sync automatically at install time, updates arrive on their own.
• Cowork (organization install): your org admin republishes; each seat picks it up.
• Claude admin console: re-upload the release zip, or nothing at all if your admin set up the auto-syncing private mirror.

The one rule everyone forgets

A running session keeps the version it started with. After an update, start a new session (or restart the app) to load it. If skills behave oddly right after updating, this is almost always why.

Good to know

• The stable channel is the tested weekly cut; release notes live on the releases page.
• In Cowork, the version label in the plugin panel sometimes lags after an update. If it looks stale, remove and re-add the marketplace entry; your settings and sign-in survive.
