Unclear An additional condition decides whether the warning is shown, and it is not clear what that condition is.
What
A plugin is an add-on that extends Claude Code, and it can depend on other plugins. After installing one, Claude Code now shows a warning when its dependencies are installed but the marketplace's current listing will not keep them loading. In that case the plugin will not load without them. The warning points to claude plugin list to see the reason.
Before, Claude Code only warned about dependencies that were not installed at all.
Why
A plugin that silently fails to load is hard to notice. This warning surfaces the problem at install time instead.
