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.

Command-sourced plugins re-resolve in the background behind a flag

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
Plugins Notable

Plugins installed via a command quietly re-resolve once per session, subject to a remote flag that defaults on.

Feature flag
tengu_plugin_command_source_refresh Not enough to say

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

This account: no value returned · anonymous baseline: no value returned · compiled default in v2.1.229: off

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.229. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What

Once per session, a plugin installed from a command can be re-resolved in the background. This needs non-essential network traffic to be allowed, the resolved path not to be the current project, and a remote-config flag whose built-in fallback is on.

Details
  • The gate is tengu_plugin_command_source_refresh.
  • Versions for these plugins come from a hash of their contents, and read as "unknown" until the command has run once.
