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.

Plugin Installation Duplicate Detection

Plugin installation now checks if a plugin is already installed before attempting reinstallation. If a plugin with the same name and scope already exists, a clear message is shown: Plugin '<name>' is already installed (scope: <scope>).

Evidence

Plugin duplicate check (search for "is already installed") — CLK at line ~229155

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
