What's Wrong?

When I create a skill in my project, under .claude/skills/myskill , the skill appears as auto complete when I type slash in Claude.

However when I define my skill in a plugin in my private marketplace, the skill can be triggered based on my intent , but it doesn't show up when I type slash.

In summary it seems that slash only works for project skills but not for plugin skills. Please note that plugin mcps are shown with slash, so I would expect a consistent behaviour for skills.

What Should Happen?

When defining plugin skills, when pressing slash in Claude code, the skills should be shown
