What's Wrong?

Using Claude Cowork with plugin marketplace connected to github.

  • Connect marketplace to Github, enable auto-sync, install contained plugins
  • Make a new commit to Main branch
  • Update version on all edited plugins in marketplace
  • Restart Cowork
  • Plugin marketplace does not update
  • Expected result: Marketplace and contained plugins update

Also...

  • Make new commit to main branch
  • Go to Customize > Browse > Marketplace > ... > Check for Updates
  • Marketplace reports itself up-to-date
  • Expected result: Marketplace updates to latest commit (git-pulls on update check)

Workaround:

  • Following failed update, ... > Check for Updates again
  • Marketplace updates to latest version as expected
  • Plugins do not update
  • Expected result: Plugins update to latest version following marketplace update
  • Also expected: This happens despite version changes, just git-pulls

This behavior (or similar) was reported before and marked fixed. It is not fixed: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/36938
