[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 installclaude plugin uninstallclaude plugin pruneclaude plugin enableclaude plugin disableclaude plugin updateclaude plugin listclaude plugin tagclaude 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 listto 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
