/notfair:upgrade
Upgrade the NotFair plugin to the latest version and show what's new.

Inline upgrade flow
This section is used when a skill preamble outputs UPGRADE_AVAILABLE.
Step 1: Auto-upgrade
Log "Upgrading NotFair v{old} → v{new}..." and proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Detect current install
First check for dev symlink (see "Dev symlink detection" section). If detected, stop — do not upgrade.
bash# Find the currently installed plugin path INSTALLED_DIR=$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/ 2>/dev/null | grep -v '.bak' | head -1) if [ -z "$INSTALLED_DIR" ]; then echo "ERROR: NotFair plugin not found in cache"; exit 1 fi MARKETPLACE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/nowork-studio" if [ ! -d "$MARKETPLACE_DIR/.git" ]; then echo "ERROR: marketplace repo not found at $MARKETPLACE_DIR"; exit 1 fi echo "Current install: $INSTALLED_DIR" echo "Marketplace repo: $MARKETPLACE_DIR"
Step 3: Save old version
bashOLD_VERSION=$(cat "$INSTALLED_DIR/VERSION" 2>/dev/null | tr -d '[:space:]' || echo "unknown")
Step 4: Update marketplace repo and install
bashcd "$MARKETPLACE_DIR" git fetch origin git reset --hard origin/main NEW_VERSION=$(cat VERSION | tr -d '[:space:]') GIT_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD) # Create new versioned cache directory NEW_CACHE_DIR="$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/$NEW_VERSION" if [ -d "$NEW_CACHE_DIR" ]; then rm -rf "$NEW_CACHE_DIR" fi mkdir -p "$NEW_CACHE_DIR" # Copy plugin files (exclude .git to save space) rsync -a --exclude='.git' "$MARKETPLACE_DIR/" "$NEW_CACHE_DIR/"
If the copy fails, warn: "Upgrade failed — the old version is still active. Run /notfair:upgrade manually." and stop.
Step 5: Update installed_plugins.json
Read ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json, then update the notfair@nowork-studio entry:
bashpython3 -c " import json, os from datetime import datetime, timezone path = os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json') with open(path) as f: data = json.load(f) data['plugins']['notfair@nowork-studio'] = [{ 'scope': 'user', 'installPath': os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/$NEW_VERSION'), 'version': '$NEW_VERSION', 'installedAt': data['plugins'].get('notfair@nowork-studio', [{}])[0].get('installedAt', datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()), 'lastUpdated': datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat(), 'gitCommitSha': '$GIT_SHA' }] with open(path, 'w') as f: json.dump(data, f, indent=4) print('Updated installed_plugins.json: notfair@nowork-studio -> v$NEW_VERSION') "
Step 6: Clean up old cache versions
Remove old versioned cache directories (keep only the new one). Never remove a dev symlink:
bashfor dir in ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/; do ver=$(basename "$dir") if [ "$ver" != "$NEW_VERSION" ] && [ "$ver" != "dev" ]; then rm -rf "$dir" echo "Removed old cache: $ver" fi done
Step 7: Write marker + clear update state
bashmkdir -p ~/.toprank echo "$OLD_VERSION" > ~/.toprank/just-upgraded-from rm -f ~/.toprank/last-update-check rm -f ~/.toprank/update-snoozed
Step 8: Show What's New
Read $NEW_CACHE_DIR/CHANGELOG.md. Find all version entries between the old version and the new version. Summarize as 3-7 bullets grouped by theme — focus on user-facing changes, skip internal refactors.
Format:
NotFair v{new} — upgraded from v{old}! What's new: - [bullet 1] - [bullet 2] - ... The new version will be fully active on your next Claude Code session.
Step 9: Continue
After showing What's New, continue with whatever skill the user originally invoked.
Dev symlink detection
Before upgrading, check if the installed cache directory is a symlink named dev:
bashCACHE_DIR=$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/ 2>/dev/null | head -1) if [ -L "${CACHE_DIR%/}" ] && [ "$(basename "$CACHE_DIR")" = "dev" ]; then echo "DEV_SYMLINK" fi
If DEV_SYMLINK: tell the user "NotFair is installed as a dev symlink — it always points to your local source (v$(cat "$CACHE_DIR/VERSION" 2>/dev/null | tr -d '[:space:]')). No upgrade needed." and stop. Do not proceed with Steps 2–8.
Standalone usage
When invoked directly as /notfair:upgrade:
-
Check for dev symlink (see "Dev symlink detection" above). If detected, stop.
-
Force a fresh update check (bypass cache and snooze):
bash_UPD_BIN=$(ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/nowork-studio/notfair/*/bin/notfair-update-check 2>/dev/null | head -1) [ -n "$_UPD_BIN" ] && _UPD=$("$_UPD_BIN" --force 2>/dev/null || true) || _UPD="" echo "$_UPD"
-
If
UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: follow Steps 2–8 above. -
If no
UPGRADE_AVAILABLEoutput: tell the user "You're already on the latest version (v{LOCAL})."
