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.

Plugin Dependency Resolution

Plugin installation now resolves transitive dependencies. When installing a plugin that declares dependencies, Claude Code validates the entire dependency closure and reports issues clearly:

  • Dependency cycles are detected and reported: "Dependency cycle: A → B → A"
  • Cross-marketplace dependencies are blocked with an explanation
  • Missing dependencies report which marketplace they expected to be in
  • Installation messages now show the dependency count: "✓ Installed my-plugin (+ 2 dependencies)"
  • Disabled dependencies are flagged: "disabled — enable it or remove the dependency"
Evidence

Plugin dependency resolver (search for "Dependency cycle", "cross-marketplace", "not found in any configured marketplace")

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