What

Plugins are add-ons that extend Claude Code. When a plugin sends a message, Claude Code used to pass along only its text, mode and origin. It now also passes decorations when the plugin supplies them.

Writing text into the input box (where you type before sending) now also passes one more piece of information than before.

Why

Plugins gain a new capability in how they fill the input box.
