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.

Claude Code v2.1.66

Restart-Based Plugin Activation (Replaces /reload-plugins)

The /reload-plugins command has been removed. After installing, enabling, disabling, or updating plugins, Claude Code now displays messages like:

  • "✓ Installed X. Restart Claude Code to load new plugins."
  • "Configuration saved. Restart Claude Code for changes to take effect."

This replaces the previous "Run /reload-plugins to activate" workflow with a cleaner restart model.

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