Claude Code v2.1.251

Plugin suggestions based on the file types you open

Plugins Notable not in their notes

Claude can offer to install a language server plugin for file types you open; disable it permanently.

lspRecommendationDisabled
What

Claude Code can now suggest installing a marketplace plugin when it notices a file extension that a language server plugin would help with. Accepting installs the plugin; choosing "disable" sets a stored lspRecommendationDisabled setting that stops the suggestion for good. The prompt appears at most once per session, and dismissing it without choosing counts as cancelled.

Details
  • The suggestion carries the plugin name, its description, the marketplace it comes from, and the file extension that triggered it.
  • Answers are yes, no, never, disable, timeout, or cancelled, with cancelled as the default outcome if nothing is chosen.
  • Once-per-session suppression is tracked by a session flag, so restarting a session can bring it back unless you picked disable.
  • This is separate from the pre-existing plugin hint prompt, which keys off commands you run rather than file types.
Evidence

kind: "lsp_recommendation"

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