claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix /doctor permanently reports `autofix-bot` not cached even when not installed [1 participants]

I ran into a persistent false positive in /doctor and wanted to share what I found in case it helps.

Every run reports:

Plugin "autofix-bot" not cached at ...marketplaces\claude-plugins-official\external_plugins\autofix-bot

I dug into it. autofix-bot appears in install-counts-cache.json with 58 installs, but the plugin has no files in the claude-plugins-official repo — external_plugins/autofix-bot doesn't exist locally or in the remote tree. Using the /plugins UI to remove it doesn't stick: the next sync re-queries the registry, sees the entry, tries to cache it, fails, and the error is back.

My best guess at what's happening: /doctor appears to iterate over install-counts-cache.json, which lists all marketplace plugins with install counts regardless of whether the user has installed them. Scoping that check to installed_plugins.json instead (plugins the user actually installed) would fix it.

To reproduce: Run /doctor. The error appears even with no plugins manually installed.

Thanks for everything that goes into Claude Code — genuinely the best tool on the planet.
