Version Orchestration

Display the installed SDD plugin version and the project's plugin version, highlighting when the project is outdated.

Input

Invoked by sdd-run.md with no arguments.

Preconditions

• Plugin is loaded (agent has access to plugin root path)

Flow

1. Read the installed plugin version from <plugin-root>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json → version field
2. Check if sdd/sdd-settings.yaml exists in the current directory
3. If it exists, read the project plugin version from sdd.updated_by_plugin_version (with fallback to legacy sdd.plugin_version for pre-reconciliation files)
4. Optionally read sdd.initialized_by_plugin_version for context (the version that first created the project)
5. Compare versions using semver:
   • Match — installed and project versions are the same
   • Project outdated — project version is older than installed version (the common case after a plugin upgrade)
   • Project newer — project version is newer than installed (unusual — may indicate a downgraded plugin)
6. Display the version report
