Check beads and plugin versions

Command definition

version.md
description: Check beads and plugin versions

Check the installed versions of beads components and verify compatibility.

**Note:** The MCP server automatically checks bd CLI version >= 0.9.0 on startup. This command provides detailed version info and update instructions.

Use the beads MCP tools to: 1. Run `bd version` via bash to get the CLI version 2. Check the plugin version (0.9.2) 3. Compare versions and report any mismatches

Display:

  • bd CLI version (from `bd version`)
  • Plugin version (0.9.2)
  • MCP server version (0.9.2)
  • MCP server status (from `stats` tool or connection test)
  • Compatibility status (✓ compatible or ⚠️ update needed)

If versions are mismatched, provide instructions:

  • Update bd CLI: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gastownhall/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`
  • Update plugin: `/plugin update beads`
  • Restart Claude Code after updating

Suggest checking for updates if the user is on an older version.
