 The command checks which packages whose name starts with `@wordpress/` are used in the project by reading the package.json file, and then executes `npm install @wordpress/package1@latest @wordpress/package2@latest ... --save` to change the package versions to the latest one.
 
+### `packages-update`
+
+Creates a zip file for a WordPress plugin.
+
+_Example:_
+
+```json
+{
+	"scripts": {
+		"plugin-zip": "wp-scripts plugin-zip"
+	}
+}
+```
+
+By default, it uses [Plugin Handbook best practices](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/best-practices/#file-organization) to discover files.
+
+#### Advanced information
+
+In the case where the plugin author wants to customize the files included in the zip file, they can provide the `files` field in the `package.json` file as documented in the [`npm-packlist`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-packlist) package, example:
+
+```json
+{
+	"files": [ "dir" ]
+}
+```
+
+It reuses the same logic as `npm pack` command to create an npm package tarball.
+
 ### `start`
 
 Transforms your code according the configuration provided so it’s ready for development. The script will automatically rebuild if you make changes to the code, and you will see the build errors in the console. The entry point for your project’s code should be located in `src/index.js` (other supported extensions: `.jsx`, `.ts`, and `.tsx`). The output generated will be written to `build/index.js`. For single builds, better suited for production, see the [build](#build) script.
