Claude Code now sends usage data (analytics) in two cases:\n\n- Viewing a plugin's directory listing.\n\n- Opening a link from it.\n\nEach record includes the plugin's name, its marketplace and where in Claude Code it was shown. Nothing is sent if the plugin's id fails a validity check.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt shows that a plugin directory view in Claude Code is now being measured.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
