What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
You can now update a plugin without naming its marketplace. Claude Code searches installed plugins across all marketplaces: one match is updated, no match fails as not installed, and several matches fail and print the fully qualified name@marketplace forms to pick from.
Usage
claude plugin update my-plugin
Details
Failure codes reported are not_installed and ambiguous_marketplace.
Evidence
ambiguous_marketplace
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Since it was published
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 sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up claude plugin update, on Claude Code changelog.* Added `--accept-command <sha256>` to `claude plugin install` and `claude plugin update` to accept exactly the command a previous `--json` run displayed, instead of `-y`changelogsee the edit
