Details
  • Registration runs unconditionally on the list path, before the command's usage counter is emitted.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude plugin list, on Claude Code changelog. * Added `--json` to `claude plugin install`, `uninstall`, `update`, `enable` and `disable`, and `errorDetails`/`noteDetails` to each row of `claude plugin list --json` changelog see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up --json, on Claude Code changelog. * Added `configDirectory` to the output of `claude auth status --json` changelog see the edit
