Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 18, 2026 by designhorf Closed Jan 21, 2026

Bug Description

Plugin agents are not appearing in the available agents list after updating to v2.1.12.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install a plugin with agents (e.g. code-simplifier from claude-plugins-official)
  2. Enable it in settings
  3. Try to use Task tool with subagent_type: "code-simplifier"
  4. Error: "Agent type 'code-simplifier' not found"

Expected Behavior

Plugin agents should appear in the available agents list and be invokable via Task tool.

Actual Behavior

Only built-in agents and ~/.claude/agents/ agents load. Plugin agents from ~/.claude/plugins/ are not registered.

Evidence

  • Plugin installed: ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json shows code-simplifier@1.0.0
  • Plugin enabled: ~/.claude/settings.json has "code-simplifier@claude-plugins-official": true
  • Agent file exists: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-plugins-official/code-simplifier/1.0.0/agents/code-simplifier.md
  • Worked in v2.1.11, broken in v2.1.12

Environment

  • Claude Code v2.1.12
  • macOS
  • Regression from v2.1.11
