claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Desktop app Code tab does not discover plugin commands (only skills) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The desktop app's Code tab likely needs a configuration or code change to correctly route commands to the commands/*.md component instead of the Skill tool.

Guidance

• Verify that the plugin installation and configuration are correct by checking the claude plugin list output and ensuring the plugin is enabled.
• Investigate the desktop app's routing logic to determine why it's redirecting commands to the Skill tool instead of executing them directly from the commands/*.md component.
• Consider modifying the plugin to include a workaround, such as adding an alias or redirect for the command, to mitigate the issue until a proper fix is implemented.
• Check if there are any existing issues or pull requests related to this problem in the Claude Code repository, as it may be a known issue with an upcoming fix.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the codebase or the desired implementation.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue is specific to the desktop app's Code tab and does not occur in the CLI terminal, indicating a potential discrepancy in how commands are handled between the two environments.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Until a proper fix is implemented, plugin developers can duplicate commands as skills or instruct users to run commands from the CLI terminal instead of the desktop app Code tab, although this violates the intended component type separation.
