Claude Code detects this case, loads each child folder that has a valid plugin manifest as its own plugin, and logs which children were loaded and which were skipped for lacking a manifest.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis makes it easier to load a whole collection of local plugins for a session in one go, without repeating the `--plugin-dir` flag for each one individually.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `--plugin-dir`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
