What
Plugins add extra features to Claude Code. They are listed in marketplaces, which are catalogs of plugins you can install from, and in a plugin directory.
When Claude Code loads a plugin you have installed and cannot find its marketplace entry, it now falls back to looking the plugin up in the plugin directory. The code that loads the plugin directory also has a new option for loading only the listings that were missed.
Why
Plugins installed from the plugin directory may now load more reliably when their marketplace entry is missing.
