Reinstall All Plugins

Utility command that detects installed plugins and reinstalls them. Use when plugins have cache corruption, version mismatches, or stale hook paths.

Excluded Plugins

The following plugins are **automatically excluded** from reinstallation to prevent breaking the reinstall process:

• **hookify**: Removing this plugin during reinstall can break hook execution

Modes

| Flag | Behavior | |------|----------| | (default) | Execute reinstall directly via Python script | | `--list-only` | Generate copy-paste commands for manual execution | | `--generate-script` | Generate `/tmp/reinstall-plugins.sh` for terminal execution | | `--dry-run` | Show what would be done without executing |

Execution

Run the reinstall script:

Bash("python3 /home/alext/claude-night-market/plugins/leyline/scripts/reinstall_all_plugins.py")

For list-only mode:

Bash("python3 /home/alext/claude-night-market/plugins/leyline/scripts/reinstall_all_plugins.py --list-only")

For script generation:

Bash("python3 /home/alext/claude-night-market/plugins/leyline/scripts/reinstall_all_plugins.py --generate-script")

For dry-run:

Bash("python3 /home/alext/claude-night-market/plugins/leyline/scripts/reinstall_all_plugins.py --dry-run")

Output

The script will: 1. Read `~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json` (or v2 format) 2. Categorize plugins (reinstallable vs excluded) 3. Uninstall each reinstallable plugin 4. Reinstall each plugin 5. Report success/failure summary

After Reinstall

**Restart Claude Code** to apply the reinstalled plugins.

Troubleshooting

Plugin fails to reinstall

• **Local plugins**: validate source directory still exists
• **Remote plugins**: Check network connectivity
• **Version mismatch**: Plugin may have been removed

from marketplace

• **Git timeout**: If reinstall fails with timeout errors

on large repos or slow networks, increase the git timeout via environment variable:

  export CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS=240000  # 4 minutes

The default is 120s (increased from 30s in 2.1.51).

Hooks still reference old paths

After reinstall, if hooks still fail: 1. Check `~/.claude/plugins/cache/` for stale directories 2. Manually remove orphaned cache entries 3. Restart Claude Code

npm registry plugins (2.1.51+)

Plugins installed from npm sources now support custom registries and specific version pinning. If your organization uses a private npm registry, plugins can be installed from it directly.
