Unclear What presentsAs controls or displays is not stated.
What
When Claude Code reads metadata for a plugin or marketplace entry, it now also picks up a presents_as value from the source data and exposes it internally as presentsAs, alongside the existing marketplaceName and installationPreference fields.
Why
The finding doesn't say what presentsAs is used for, but capturing it suggests plugin listings may soon be able to present themselves differently than their underlying name or source.
