Plugin install tip shows for already-installed plugins
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 6, 2026 by puretensor Closed Apr 3, 2026
Description
The contextual tip system suggests installing plugins that are already installed. For example, when working with HTML/CSS, Claude Code displays:
Tip: Working with HTML/CSS? Install the frontend-design plugin:
/plugin install frontend-design@claude-code-plugins
...even though frontend-design is already installed and active (visible in the available skills list).
Expected behavior
The tip system should check whether the plugin is already installed before suggesting it.
Steps to reproduce
- Install the
frontend-design@claude-code-pluginsplugin - Work on any HTML/CSS-related task
- Observe the tip suggesting to install the already-installed plugin
Environment
- Claude Code with
frontend-designskill already installed and functional - Model: Opus 4.6
- Platform: Linux
