plugin details in the CLI commands reference, plus the installed-plugin detail view described in the plugin management docs

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

### plugin details Show a plugin's component inventory and projected token cost. The output lists all components the plugin contributes, grouped as Skills (skills and commands), Agents, Hooks, and MCP servers, along with an estimate of how many tokens it adds to each session.

And the plugin discovery guide currently says:

Run /plugin and go to the Installed tab to view, enable, disable, or uninstall your plugins. From the list you can: press f to favorite or unfavorite the selected plugin type to filter by plugin name or description * press Enter to open a plugin's detail view and enable, disable, or uninstall it

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.142 says:

The /plugin details pane and claude plugin details now show LSP servers a plugin provides

The current plugin details reference is now outdated because it still enumerates only Skills, Agents, Hooks, and MCP servers. It does not mention that LSP servers are also included in the component inventory.

That leaves two gaps:

A. `claude plugin details` is documented with an incomplete inventory

Users reading the CLI reference will expect LSP servers to be omitted, even though current behavior includes them.

B. The `/plugin` details pane behavior is not described precisely

The discovery guide says pressing Enter opens a plugin detail view, but it does not say that the detail pane now shows LSP servers a plugin provides. For code-intelligence plugins, that is a significant part of what the plugin contributes.

Suggested Improvement

Update the plugin details section in https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference so the inventory description includes LSP servers. For example:

Show a plugin's component inventory and projected token cost. The output lists all components the plugin contributes, grouped as Skills (skills and commands), Agents, Hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers, along with an estimate of how many tokens it adds to each session.

Also add a short note in the installed-plugin management docs that the /plugin detail pane shows the components a plugin provides, including LSP servers for code-intelligence plugins.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Title: [DOCS] Plugin details docs omit LSP servers in /plugin and claude plugin details

Status: RESOLVED

Issue Summary

This issue reports that two pages omit LSP servers from the documented inventory of plugin components, leaving users unaware that /plugin and claude plugin details now surface LSP servers. The reporter cites changelog v2.1.142 as the source of the new behavior and asked for the plugin details reference plus the installed-plugin management docs to be updated.

Verification Results

Claim 1: `claude plugin details` reference inventory is missing LSP servers

Status: RESOLVED

The current reference page at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference documents plugin details with an inventory that now lists LSP servers.

At https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference, line 1036:

### plugin details Show a plugin's component inventory and projected token cost. The output lists all components the plugin contributes, grouped as Skills, Agents, Hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers, along with an estimate of how many tokens it adds to each session. The Skills group includes both skills/ and commands/ entries.

The example output block immediately below (lines 1059-1069) also includes an LSP servers (0) row in the component inventory, matching the changelog-described behavior.

Verdict: The reference inventory now lists LSP servers alongside Skills, Agents, Hooks, and MCP servers. The reporter's suggested wording is reflected almost verbatim in the current docs.

---

Claim 2: `/plugin` details pane does not document that LSP servers are shown

Status: RESOLVED

The discovery guide at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins now describes the /plugin detail view and explicitly includes LSP servers in the component list.

At https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins, lines 291-297:

From the list you can: press f to favorite or unfavorite the selected plugin type to filter by plugin name or description * press Enter to open a plugin's detail view and enable, disable, or uninstall it The detail view shows the components the plugin contributes: commands, skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, and LSP servers. The same inventory is available from the command line with claude plugin details.

Verdict: The detail pane is now documented with the full component inventory, including LSP servers, and the cross-reference to claude plugin details is in place.

Conclusion & Recommendation

Primary Concern: The plugin details docs omitted LSP servers from the documented component inventory, leaving users unaware of what /plugin and claude plugin details display.

Resolution Status: RESOLVED

Recommendation: CLOSE

Both affected pages now mention LSP servers in the plugin component inventory, and the example output also shows the LSP servers row, so the documentation matches the behavior introduced in changelog v2.1.142.
