Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

/reload-plugins Command

What

A new slash command that hot-reloads plugin changes in the current session without requiring a restart.

Usage
/reload-plugins
Details
  • Activates pending plugin installations, configuration changes, and enable/disable toggling
  • Throughout the plugin system, messages now say "Run /reload-plugins to activate" instead of the previous "Restart Claude Code to apply changes"
  • Clears all plugin caches and reloads hooks, MCP servers, skills, commands, and agents
Evidence

Plugin hot-reload (search for "/reload-plugins", "Activate pending plugin changes")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
