408Claude Code reloads all active plugins and shows counts for plugins, skills, agents, hooks, plugin MCP servers, and plugin LSP servers. In the skills count, Claude Code includes every skill a plugin provides: both its `commands/` entries and its `SKILL.md` skills. Before v2.1.246, Claude Code counted only `commands/` entries, so it could reload a plugin's `SKILL.md` skills and still report `0 skills` in the summary.
408`/reload-plugins` also runs in sessions without an interactive terminal, such as the desktop app, the Agent SDK, and [non-interactive mode](/docs/en/headless) with `-p`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.260 or later. Two limits apply in those sessions:

410* The command runs only when you type it directly into the session, such as in the `-p` prompt or the desktop app's prompt box. When you send it over a remote connection instead, such as [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) or a relayed chat message, the command declines without reloading anything.
411* The reload doesn't connect or disconnect plugin MCP servers. Those changes take effect in your next session.

413Claude Code reloads all active plugins and shows counts for plugins, skills, agents, hooks, plugin MCP servers, and plugin LSP servers, omitting the plugin MCP server count in a session without an interactive terminal. In the skills count, Claude Code includes every skill a plugin provides: both its `commands/` entries and its `SKILL.md` skills. Before v2.1.246, Claude Code counted only `commands/` entries, so it could reload a plugin's `SKILL.md` skills and still report `0 skills` in the summary.

410415Reloading has a token cost on the next request: newly loaded components announce themselves in content appended to the conversation, while the existing history still reads from the prompt cache. A plugin that provides MCP servers costs more when its tools aren't deferred by [tool search](/docs/en/mcp#scale-with-mcp-tool-search): the change invalidates the cache and the next request re-reads the entire conversation. See [enabling or disabling a plugin](/docs/en/prompt-caching#enabling-or-disabling-a-plugin) for details.
