Claude Skills Troubleshooting
If your plugins are installed but not showing up in your available skills list, this is the diagnostic tool you need. It walks you through the known bug where Claude Code adds plugins to installed_plugins.json but forgets to enable them in settings.json, plus provides the actual CLI commands to fix it. Includes a Python diagnostic script that checks for the usual culprits: enabled/installed mismatches, stale marketplace cache, and config errors. The reference tables for plugin state architecture and diagnostic commands are genuinely useful when you're knee deep in ~/.claude trying to figure out why something isn't working.

Claude Skills Troubleshooting
Overview
Diagnose and resolve common Claude Code plugin and skill configuration issues. This skill provides systematic debugging workflows for plugin installation, enablement, and activation problems.
Quick Diagnosis
Run the diagnostic script to identify common issues:
python3 scripts/diagnose_plugins.py
The script checks:
- Installed vs enabled plugins mismatch in both directions (installed-but-not-enabled and enabled-but-not-registered)
- Missing enabledPlugins entries in settings.json
- Stale marketplace cache using
known_marketplaces.jsonlastUpdated - Missing, malformed, timezone-free, or future
lastUpdatedmetadata - Invalid plugin configurations
Treat lastUpdated as the only cache-freshness source. Do not fall back to
cache-directory modification times: marketplace updates can refresh nested
files without changing that directory timestamp. The diagnostic exits nonzero
for stale caches or invalid freshness metadata.
