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

  1. Configure and enable one or more plugins
  2. Start Claude Code
  3. Run /reload-plugins
  4. Observe successful reload output
  5. Run /plugin
  6. 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
