Plugins reload successfully but /plugin shows no content
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 4, 2026 by Jack-261108 Closed May 14, 2026
Summary
Claude Code reports that plugins were reloaded successfully, but /plugin shows no content. This makes it unclear whether plugins are actually loaded and usable.
Environment
- Claude Code
- macOS
- Shell: zsh
What I expected
After reloading plugins, I expected /plugin to show the loaded plugins or at least some plugin status/details.
What happened
I ran:
/reload-plugins
Output:
Reloaded: 2 plugins · 0 skills · 7 agents · 0 hooks · 1 plugin MCP server · 0 plugin LSP servers
Then I ran:
/plugin
But the output was:
(no content)
Steps to reproduce
- Configure and enable one or more plugins
- Start Claude Code
- Run
/reload-plugins - Observe successful reload output
- Run
/plugin - See
(no content)instead of plugin details
Additional notes
This is confusing because the reload output indicates plugins were loaded, but /plugin does not show anything.
It would help if Claude Code could:
- show all loaded plugins in
/plugin - distinguish between installed / enabled / loaded / currently active
- clarify which plugins expose skills, MCP servers, or only automatic behavior
Possible bug
This may be:
- a UI/CLI display bug in
/plugin - a plugin registration/state sync issue after reload
- or unclear plugin status reporting
