# List plugins

## Goal

Tell the operator which plugins are currently active for this agent, with their marketplace ids and a short description, in under 100 words.

## Steps

### 1. Read settings.json

Use Read on `/home/phantom/.claude/settings.json`. Parse it as JSON.

If the file does not exist, return: "No settings.json yet. The dashboard plugins tab is at /ui/dashboard/#/plugins."

If the file exists but has no `enabledPlugins` field, return: "No plugins enabled yet. Browse the marketplace at /ui/dashboard/#/plugins."

**Success criteria**: you have either a parsed `enabledPlugins` map or a clear empty-state message ready.

### 2. Filter active entries

For each `key: value` in `enabledPlugins`, treat the entry as active when value is `true`, a non-empty array, or a non-empty object. Treat `false` and missing entries as inactive.

**Success criteria**: you have a list of `plugin@marketplace` keys for active plugins only.

### 3. Render the list

Format the response like this:

> You have N plugins enabled:
>
> - **linear** at claude-plugins-official - Linear issue tracking
> - **notion** at claude-plugins-official - Notion workspace
> - **slack** at claude-plugins-official - Slack workspace messages
> - **claude-md-management** at claude-plugins-official - CLAUDE.md maintenance
>
> Manage plugins at /ui/dashboard/#/plugins.

For each row, the descriptor after the dash is a short fallback string based on the plugin name. If you do not recognize a plugin id, use just the marketplace id as the descriptor.

**Success criteria**: the response shows the real current keys, the descriptors are honest (no fabricated descriptions for unknown plugins), and the dashboard URL is included.

## Rules

- Never fabricate a plugin that is not in settings.json.
- Never use em dashes in the response. Regular hyphens are fine.
- Always include the dashboard URL.
- Keep the response under 100 words.
