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.

Plugins

Marketplaces can offer plugins as zip downloads with an optional sha256 pin that doubles as the version.

What

A marketplace entry can now point at a plugin as an archive: an HTTPS URL for a zip file, with an optional sha256 digest. The digest is checked on every download and also serves as the plugin's version identity, so a changed archive is a changed version. This source type is always available, not gated.

Details
  • If the zip contains a single wrapping directory, it is stripped so the plugin's files land at the top level.
  • Archives must be served over HTTPS.
Evidence

HTTPS URL of a zip archive containing the plugin.

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