Summary
After installing a plugin via the marketplace in Claude Code Desktop, the plugin's skills do not appear in slash-command autocomplete (typing /<name> in the input box) until Desktop is fully restarted. The skills work — they're invocable via the + button menu — they're just absent from autocomplete.
Reproduction
- Install a plugin with skills via Desktop's marketplace UI.
- Without restarting, type
/in the input box and look for the plugin's skills in the autocomplete dropdown.
Expected
New skills appear in autocomplete immediately after install completes.
Actual
Skills missing from autocomplete. Workarounds: select via + button menu, or restart Desktop.
Environment
Claude Code Desktop v2.1.121, macOS.
