- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
Using /plugin marketplace add and /plugin install inside a Claude Code session reports success and the skill appears as installed in settings, but attempting to invoke the skill returns "skill not found".
What Should Happen?
Skills installed via the /plugin slash commands should be invokable in the same way as skills installed via the claude plugin CLI commands.
Steps to Reproduce
- In a Claude Code session, run
/plugin marketplace add FrankLedo/claude-skills - Run
/plugin install slack-monitor - Observe success message and skill appearing in settings
- Attempt to invoke the skill with
/slack-monitor - Observe "skill not found" error
Workaround: Installing via the CLI works correctly:
claude plugin marketplace add FrankLedo/claude-skills
claude plugin install slack-monitor
