What it does

Finding Latest Julia Version is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when you need the latest stable JuliaLang version number (e.g., to fill VERSION= in an install script) instead of hard-coding a value

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need the latest stable JuliaLang version number (e.g.
  • Fill VERSION= in an install script) instead of hard-coding a value

Example prompts

  • “/finding-latest-julia-version”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e1456a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • julialang-s3.julialang.org
    • api.github.com

    Also links to:

    • julialang.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Finding Latest Julia Version loads about 609 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 177 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~609

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Finding the Latest Stable Julia Version

Hard-coding VERSION=1.x.y rots quickly. JuliaLang publishes machine-readable metadata; query it directly.

Preferred: official versions.json

This is the same source juliaup and the official installer use. Each release carries a stable: true|false flag plus per-platform tarball URLs and SHA-256 hashes — useful both for picking a version and for verifying the download.

sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
  | jq -r 'to_entries
           | map(select(.value.stable))
           | map(.key)
           | sort_by(split(".") | map(tonumber? // 0))
           | last'
# → 1.12.6   (example, as of writing)

If jq is unavailable, use Python:

sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
  | python3 -c 'import sys, json
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
stable = [v for v, m in d.items() if m.get("stable")]
stable.sort(key=lambda s: tuple(int(x) for x in s.split("-")[0].split(".")))
print(stable[-1])'

To list the latest patch within a specific minor series (e.g., the newest 1.11.x):

sh
curl -fsSL https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/versions.json \
  | jq -r 'to_entries
           | map(select(.value.stable and (.key | startswith("1.11."))))
           | map(.key)
           | sort_by(split(".") | map(tonumber? // 0))
           | last'

Fallback: GitHub Releases API

Use when the S3 endpoint is blocked but api.github.com is reachable. Note that GitHub's "latest" tag follows GitHub release marking, not the JuliaLang stable flag, so prefer versions.json when both work.

sh
curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/releases/latest \
  | jq -r .tag_name | sed 's/^v//'
# → 1.12.6

Last resort: human page

Open https://julialang.org/downloads/ and read the "Current stable release" line. Only do this when no automated approach works; the page is HTML and shape-changes break scrapers.

Notes

  • versions.json also gives you files[].url and files[].sha256 per platform — use these to script a verified download instead of constructing the URL by hand.
  • This skill returns a version string; the actual install steps live in [[installing-julia]].
