Section/Topic

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The current plugin details reference is now outdated because it still enumerates only Skills, Agents, Hooks, and MCP servers.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
