TL;DR

Disable unnecessary plugins or configure them to load on-demand to reduce context window bloat.

Guidance

• Review the list of enabled plugins (20 plugins including superpowers, vercel, medusa-dev, expo, etc.) and disable any that are not necessary for the current session.
• Check the plugin documentation for configuration options to load documentation and skills on-demand instead of at session start.
• Verify that the claude --version command matches the version mentioned in the environment info (2.1.110) to ensure consistency.
• Investigate the errors related to plugin path not found and permission denied to resolve any underlying issues that may be contributing to the context window bloat.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to plugin configuration and management.

Notes

The provided errors suggest issues with plugin loading and permission denied errors, which may be related to the context window bloat. Resolving these errors may help mitigate the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by disabling unnecessary plugins or configuring them to load on-demand, as the root cause of the issue appears to be related to plugin management.
