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

  1. In a Claude Code session, run /plugin marketplace add FrankLedo/claude-skills
  2. Run /plugin install slack-monitor
  3. Observe success message and skill appearing in settings
  4. Attempt to invoke the skill with /slack-monitor
  5. Observe "skill not found" error

Workaround: Installing via the CLI works correctly:

claude plugin marketplace add FrankLedo/claude-skills
claude plugin install slack-monitor
