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 install checks the marketplace for new plugins first

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal1
Plugins

Installing a plugin refreshes its marketplace first, so newly published plugins show up.

What

Installing a plugin now refreshes its marketplace before showing you the catalog, so newly published plugins appear without a manual step. If the refresh fails you get a warning line above the plugin details and the cached catalog is used instead.

Details
  • Applies to marketplaces backed by git, GitHub or a URL; a marketplace refreshed recently is skipped, and anything else is reported as ineligible.
  • Outcomes are recorded as refreshed, refresh_failed or ineligible, and the failure reason shown to you is sanitised.
  • Replaces the old path that installed first, then offered a refresh-and-reload retry.
Evidence

plugin_install_refresh_first, showing the cached catalog.

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