Unclear Whether the publish tool is switched on by default is not stated.
What
A new tool called 'Publish plugin' is added. A plugin is a bundle of extras, such as commands or skills, that extends Claude Code. The tool is deferred, meaning it is loaded only when needed, and it is enabled only when the tengu_copper_gazette gate is true. Nothing has been read about that gate yet.
- It uploads a plugin folder to the user's claude.ai My Uploads shelf, then submits it to the organisation's library.
- Before sending, it validates the plugin, lists the files it will send, and asks the user to confirm.
- It refuses to run under
--bare, when nonessential traffic is disabled, with third-party providers, in cloud sessions, and when the user is signed out. - A new policy entry,
allow_plugin_publish, labelled 'Publishing a plugin from Claude Code' with requirement id HIPAA-R72, is denied under the hipaa regime. If the policy cannot be looked up from cache, it also denies.
Why
Members of an organisation may be able to share plugins with their organisation's library straight from Claude Code. Organisations covered by HIPAA rules are blocked from publishing this way.
