253253Claude Code copies each installed plugin into the local versioned plugin cache at `~/.claude/plugins/cache`, unless the plugin loads in place. A [`command` source in link mode](#copy-mode-and-link-mode) loads in place, and so does a [relative path source](#relative-paths) in a marketplace added from a local directory. Claude Code also [installs the plugin's eligible Node.js package dependencies](/docs/en/plugins-reference#node-js-package-dependencies) into the cached copy. See [Plugin caching and file resolution](/docs/en/plugins-reference#plugin-caching-and-file-resolution) for how a plugin loaded in place from a local-directory marketplace picks up your edits.

255| Source | Type | Fields | Notes |
256| ------------- | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
257| Relative path | `string` (e.g. `"./my-plugin"`) | none | Local directory within the marketplace repo. Must start with `./`, unless you write a [bare name under `metadata.pluginRoot`](#relative-paths). Claude Code resolves the path relative to the marketplace root, not the `.claude-plugin/` directory |
258| `github` | object | `repo`, `ref?`, `sha?` | |
259| `url` | object | `url`, `ref?`, `sha?` | Git URL source |
260| `git-subdir` | object | `url`, `path`, `ref?`, `sha?` | Subdirectory within a git repo. Clones sparsely to minimize bandwidth for monorepos |
261| `npm` | object | `package`, `version?`, `registry?` | npm package, fetched with your npm client and unpacked without running install scripts |
262| `archive` | object | `url`, `sha256?` | Zip archive downloaded over HTTPS. Works without git or npm on the user's machine. Requires Claude Code v2.1.224 or later |
263| `command` | object | `command`, `timeout?`, `mode?` | Plugin directory produced by running a local command, re-run once per session to pick up changes. Requires Claude Code v2.1.229 or later |
