What
The claude plugin disable, disable-all, and update commands now support a --json option. With it set, they print a single structured result line (fields like command, outcome, plugin, pluginId, scope, message, and for updates, updateOutcome/oldVersion/newVersion) instead of the usual checkmark-prefixed human-readable message.
This is part of a broader rollout across plugin commands:
Why
This lets scripts and other tools drive plugin management and reliably parse the result, rather than scraping human-facing text, while behaving the same as before for interactive use.
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.
