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 Path Descriptions Clarified — Override vs. Addition Semantics

What

Plugin plugin.json manifest fields that accept paths now clearly state whether they replace or extend the default auto-loaded directory.

Details
  • Fields that fully replace the default directory (e.g., agents, commands, output-styles, themes) now document: "When set, the <name>/ directory is not auto-loaded — list its files here if you want both."
  • Fields that load in addition to the default (e.g., the extra skills path) now document: "Loaded in addition to the skills/ directory."
  • Previously, descriptions used "in addition to those in the <name>/ directory" uniformly, which was ambiguous.
Evidence

New .describe() strings (search for "When set, the agents/ directory is not auto-loaded")

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