[Bug] Local-scoped plugin installation blocks installation in other projects
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Jan 27, 2026 by rubenroques Closed Feb 28, 2026
Bug Description
Plugin installed with local scope for one project cannot be installed for another project
Description:
When a plugin is installed with scope: local for project A, attempting to install it for project B fails silently.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install a plugin with local scope: /plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official (from project A)
- Navigate to a different project B
- Run /plugin install frontend-design@claude-plugins-official
- Get message: "Plugin is already installed"
- But plugin doesn't appear in Installed tab (wrong scope)
- Plugin also doesn't appear in Discover tab (already installed)
- Clicking plugin in Marketplace list causes it to vanish and navigate to empty Installed tab
Expected behavior:
- Should offer to install for current project when already installed elsewhere with local scope
- OR should show in Installed tab with option to "Add to this project"
