[DOCS] `claude plugin details` command lacks documentation

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference

Section/Topic

The "Plugin management commands" section or a new subsection for claude plugin details

Current Documentation

No documentation currently exists for the claude plugin details command introduced in v2.1.139. The plugins reference page documents these subcommands:

  • claude plugin install
  • claude plugin uninstall
  • claude plugin prune
  • claude plugin enable
  • claude plugin disable
  • claude plugin update
  • claude plugin list
  • claude plugin tag
  • claude plugin validate

But claude plugin details is absent from the list.

What's Wrong or Missing?

A. New command not documented

The claude plugin details <name> command was added in v2.1.139 (changelog entry #4) but has no entry in the plugin reference documentation. Users cannot discover this command through official docs.

B. Feature description not captured

The changelog states this command shows:

  • A plugin's component inventory (skills, agents, hooks provided)
  • Projected per-session token cost

Neither of these capabilities appears anywhere in the documentation.

C. Settings.md mentions plugin details UI but not CLI

The settings page at line 919 references "View plugin details (skills, agents, hooks provided)" as a feature of the /plugin interactive command, but the corresponding claude plugin details <name> CLI command is not documented.

Suggested Improvement

Add a new plugin details subsection to the plugin reference page under the existing plugin management commands.

Document:

  • Usage: claude plugin details <name>
  • What it shows: plugin version/source, component inventory, and projected per-session token cost
  • A short example invocation such as claude plugin details code-review
  • A note that users can run claude plugin list to discover installed plugin names

Add plugin details to the command index table alongside the other claude plugin subcommands.

Impact

High - Prevents users from discovering and using a new command
