claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [DOCS] `/plugin` discover flow docs omit the new last-updated metadata shown for plugins

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

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

Section/Topic

"Browse available plugins" and "Install a plugin" in the /plugin manager guide

Current Documentation

The docs currently describe the /plugin manager tabs and one field in the details pane, but they do not mention the new last-updated metadata added in Claude Code v2.1.144:

Run /plugin to open the plugin manager. This opens a tabbed interface with four tabs you can cycle through using Tab (or Shift+Tab to go backward):

• Discover: browse available plugins from all your marketplaces
• Installed: view and manage your installed plugins
• Marketplaces: add, remove, or update your added marketplaces
• Errors: view any plugin loading errors

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.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.144 added a new /plugin UI detail: the browse/discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated.

The current documentation for the /plugin manager does not mention that metadata anywhere, even though it already documents nearby UI details such as the Discover tab layout and the v2.1.143 Context cost field in the plugin details pane.

That leaves the plugin discovery docs incomplete for the current UI and makes it harder for users to understand that they can use recency information while evaluating plugins.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short v2.1.144 note to the /plugin discovery flow documenting where the new timestamp appears and how users can use it when comparing plugins.

For example, after the existing Context cost note, add something like:

On Claude Code v2.1.144 and later, the browse/discover panes also show when each plugin was last updated, so you can quickly assess how recently a plugin or marketplace entry has changed before installing it.

If the timestamp appears in more than one place in the /plugin UI, name each location explicitly so the text matches the actual interface.

This gap appears to be specific to the Claude Code v2.1.144 release entry: "The /plugin browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated".
