What
- Building the plugin suggestion/browse list now resolves each plugin's entry through a new async enrichment step (
Lce) per marketplace, instead of iterating the raw marketplace plugin list directly. This resolves each plugin's install location against local dev overrides and rewrites the displayed entry accordingly; the same step runs after a single-plugin install/refresh. - The
claude plugin listavailable-plugins path now uses this same batched lookup helper and filters out plugins that fail an install-eligibility check, rather than iterating the marketplace's plugin list entry by entry. - When a marketplace entry omits fields like
displayName,description,author,homepage,repository,license, orkeywords, Claude Code now fetches the plugin's source and reads its.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonto fill those fields in for display.
Why Plugin listings previously showed whatever sparse metadata a marketplace entry happened to include, and could point at the wrong install location for locally-overridden dev plugins. This makes browsing and installing plugins show more complete, accurate information without each marketplace having to duplicate every field.

Claude Code changelog modified, high confidence
* Fixed `/plugin` Discover/Browse and `claude plugin list --json --available` showing no description or display name for marketplace plugins whose metadata lives only in their `plugin.json`see the edit
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.
Added since
A small documentation edit on Marketplace reference touched a line naming claude plugin list after this was published.
When a registered marketplace stops loading because its name imitates an official one, `claude plugin list` and `/plugin` report `Claude Code refuses the marketplace name "<name>"`. The message tells you to remove the marketplace. Removing…plugins/marketplace-reference see the edit
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
