A new one reads \"Want a side agent watching your back while Claude works? Turn on You should know:\" and points you to the `\/plugin` command, which manages plugins (add-ons that extend Claude Code). A side agent is a second helper that runs alongside the main one.\n\nThe tip appears only when all of these are true:\n\n- The You should know plugin is present\n\n- The plugin is not on by default\n\n- You have not already turned it on or off yourself\n\nIt waits at least 10 sessions between showings and appears at most 3 times.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a new visible nudge toward a side-agent plugin. Once you have chosen to turn the plugin on or off, the tip stops appearing.\n\n- Area: Side Agent\n- Names: `\/plugin`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
