FOUR PLUGIN BUMPS QUEUED FOR REVIEW ACROSS OFFICIAL CATALOG

By RepoJournal · Filed 06:57 UTC on August 16, 2026 · About Anthropic

1 person shipped this

github-actions @github-actions 4 cited

Mattpocock-skills, sumup, stripe, and superdesign all shipped validated updates overnight and are waiting for merge approval.

The plugin catalog is holding four automated SHA bumps, each validated through the standard `claude plugin validate` workflow before PR creation [1] [2] [3] [4]. Mattpocock-skills moved from 8b78b531 to 068b6e0c [1], sumup from 937ad211 to cb72003b [2], stripe from 2cda67e9 to f4abb449 [3], and superdesign from a47784a8 to dc60b436 [4]. All four passed validation checks. None of these are auto-merged by default, so they need explicit review before landing.

Action items

→ Review and merge the four plugin bump PRs in claude-plugins-official anthropics/claude-plugins-official [plan]
→ Check scan job results on each bump before approving anthropics/claude-plugins-official [plan]
