116116* **Terminal sessions**: each time you start Claude Code, it syncs once in the background, downloading new and updated plugins and removing the ones that you or your organization turned off. Syncing in terminal sessions requires Claude Code v2.1.273 or later

120124Because the terminal sync runs in the background, it can finish after your session has started. When it adds, updates, or removes a synced plugin in an interactive session, you see `Plugins changed. Run /reload-plugins to activate.` Run `/reload-plugins` to load the change in that session, or leave it for the next time you start Claude Code.

122If you enable a plugin on claude.ai while a session is running, the plugin downloads the next time you start Claude Code.
126If you turn a plugin on or off for your claude.ai account during a terminal session, Claude Code downloads or removes it the next time you start Claude Code.
