Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Session-Only Plugin Loading

What: Load plugins from local directories for the current session without permanently installing them How to use:

# Load plugins from one or more directories
claude --plugin-dir ./my-plugins --plugin-dir ../shared-plugins

# Plugins are active only for this session
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/custom/plugins chat

Details:

  • Plugins loaded with --plugin-dir are marked with @inline source designation
  • Multiple plugin directories can be specified by repeating the flag
  • Plugins are loaded after standard installed plugins
  • Path validation occurs before loading - non-existent paths are logged and skipped
  • Session plugins persist only for the current command execution
  • Evidence: Td6() function at line 264116, GQA() at line 3778, YQA() at line 3781, CLI option at line 475753 in v2.0.25
