Before, Claude Code only treated a file as a marketplace if it had a list of plugins. It now also recognizes one when the file:\n\n- Has both a `plugins` entry and an `owner` entry.\n\n- Has keys that fit the marketplace format and not the plugin format.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou should see fewer wrong \"invalid plugin\" errors when checking a marketplace file.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
