When Claude Code combines these, it now skips the synced copy if both hold:\n\n- the synced copy's record says it may give way\n\n- the official marketplace version of the plugin, with its hooks (scripts a plugin runs at set points), is installed\n\nClaude Code reports that the synced copy was not loaded and names the source that is installed.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhen the same plugin arrives both ways, the official marketplace version now wins, so you get one copy rather than two.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
