What's Wrong?
The /plugin command is not recognized despite running Claude Code version 2.0.13. When attempting to use any /plugin sub-command (e.g., /plugin marketplace), I receive the error: "Unknown slash command: plugin"
Per the release notes, a fix for plugin support was introduced in v2.0.13 for native builds, but the command still does not seem to work.
What Should Happen?
The /plugin command should be recognized and provide access to plugin functionality.

Additional Information
Installation Details:
- Node.js version: v20.11.0
- Installation method: Local installation (not global npm)
- Installation path: C:\Users\Mark\.claude\local\node_modules\.bin\claude
Environment:
- Running on Windows 10 via Git Bash (MSYS environment)
- System info: MINGW64_NT-10.0-19045 Mark 3.4.10-87d57229.x86_64
Observations:
- All other slash commands appear to work correctly
- The v2.0.13 release notes specifically mention: "Fixed /plugin not working on native build"
- This suggests the issue may be specific to Windows/MSYS environments or may require additional investigation
Possible Causes:
- The native build fix in v2.0.13 may not fully resolve issues in Windows PowerShell environments
- Local installation vs global installation may affect plugin command availability
- Additional setup or configuration may be required for Windows environments
