It stays silent if nothing relevant turns up, and won't search again for one-off questions or after you've ignored a previous suggestion.\n\n- When results are relevant, Claude calls `SuggestPluginInstall` to show an install card; otherwise it relays results in plain text.\n\n- The `SuggestPluginInstall` card now records a `trigger` field marking whether the suggestion was `proactive` or `user_asked`, and Claude is now told to keep working on the task after showing the card instead of stopping.\n\n- This `trigger` value is threaded through the system: a related tool's input schema (which dropped a strict enum in favor of looser validation), the plugin listing summary, and the `plugin_suggest` telemetry event, so the origin of every suggestion is recorded end to end.\n\n**Why**\n\nTogether these changes let Claude Code recommend org-specific plugins on its own initiative when they'd help with a task, rather than only when explicitly asked, while keeping a record of whether each suggestion was proactive or requested.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `SuggestPluginInstall`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
