Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins

Section/Topic

"Install a plugin" in the demo marketplace walkthrough, plus the Discover tab guidance for viewing plugin details before installation

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

Select a plugin to view its details. On Claude Code v2.1.143 and later, the details pane includes a Context cost estimate so you can see how many tokens the plugin will add to your context window every turn before you install it. On v2.1.144 and later, the pane also shows the plugin's Last updated date.

Each plugin works differently. Check the plugin's description in the Discover tab or its homepage to learn what skills and capabilities it provides.

What's Wrong or Missing?

In v2.1.145, the /plugin Discover/Browse UI shows a plugin's component inventory before installation: commands, agents, skills, hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers.

The current docs stop at context cost and last-updated metadata, then tell readers to rely on the description or homepage for plugin capabilities. That leaves the page outdated about what the details pane now exposes before install.

Suggested Improvement

Update the /plugin discovery/install guide to document the current pre-install details pane.

A minimal fix would add a sentence or bullet list after the existing context-cost/last-updated note, for example:

On Claude Code v2.1.145 and later, the details pane also shows the plugin's component inventory before installation, including commands, agents, skills, hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers.

If Discover and Browse label these slightly differently, note that both surfaces expose this inventory before install and cross-reference claude plugin details <name> for the same component categories.
