ctx-upgrade is a Claude Code skill that updates the context-mode plugin from GitHub, rebuilds binaries, reinstalls npm globals, and reconfigures hooks for developers who need the latest context-mode release without manua
About
ctx-upgrade is an AI & Agent Building skill from mksglu/context-mode that automates upgrading the context-mode plugin end to end. Triggered via /context-mode:ctx-upgrade, the skill calls the ctx_upgrade MCP tool, runs the returned shell command, and reports a checklist covering GitHub pull, build and install (for example v1.0.39), hook configuration, and doctor checks. Developers reach for ctx-upgrade when context-mode hooks break after an update, npm global binaries drift, or the plugin lags the latest GitHub release. The workflow is intentionally narrow: pull, build, install, configure—no feature authoring.
- Pulls latest context-mode from GitHub
- Builds, installs, and updates the npm global package
- Automatically configures hooks and runs doctor checks
- Outputs a clear markdown checklist with actual version numbers
- Requires session restart after successful upgrade

Context Mode Upgrade
Pull latest from GitHub and reinstall the plugin.
Instructions
1. Call the ctx_upgrade MCP tool directly. It returns a shell command to execute. 2. Run the returned command using your shell execution tool (Bash, shell_execute, etc.). 3. Display results as a markdown checklist:
## context-mode upgrade
- [x] Pulled latest from GitHub
- [x] Built and installed v1.0.39
- [x] Hooks configured
- [x] Doctor: all checks PASSUse [x] for success, [ ] for failure. Show actual version numbers. 4. Tell the user to restart their session to pick up the new version. 5. Fallback (only if MCP tool call fails): Derive the plugin root from this skill's base directory (go up 2 levels — remove /skills/ctx-upgrade), then run with Bash:
CLI="<PLUGIN_ROOT>/cli.bundle.mjs"; [ ! -f "$CLI" ] && CLI="<PLUGIN_ROOT>/build/cli.js"; node "$CLI" upgradeRelated skills
