Cowork Plugins Directory Support [Hidden]

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.15
EntryKind: in v2.1.15,
ChangesSection of the release
What

A new hidden --cowork flag enables an alternate plugin directory for development and testing workflows.

Usage
# Via CLI flag
claude plugins list --cowork
claude plugins install my-plugin --cowork

# Via environment variable
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_COWORK_PLUGINS=true claude
Details
  • When enabled, plugins are stored in cowork_plugins/ instead of plugins/
  • Settings file changes to cowork_settings.json instead of settings.json
  • The --cowork flag is hidden from help output (.hideHelp())
  • Only available with user scope for certain commands; attempting to use with other scopes results in an error
  • Can be enabled via CLAUDE_CODE_USE_COWORK_PLUGINS environment variable
Evidence

Cn5() at line 90980 (plugin directory selector, contains "cowork_plugins"), CLI definitions at line 560985 (contains "--cowork", "Use cowork_plugins directory")

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