It now checks at the very start whether you asked for the reserved name `anthropic-plugin-directory`. The check ignores upper and lower case. If the name matches, the command stops with an error. It also reports a new failure code to telemetry, the usage reporting Claude Code sends back.\n\nA refusal for this reserved name already existed further along in the add process. This adds an earlier one.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou find out immediately that the name is reserved. Previously you found out only after the command had already started work on the add."}
