Description
The skill writing-clearly-and-concisely from the superpowers@claude-plugins-official plugin (v5.0.4) exists in the correct directory structure with valid SKILL.md frontmatter, but is not discoverable as a slash command (/writing-clearly-and-concisely or /superpowers:writing-clearly-and-concisely).
Environment
- Claude Code: VS Code extension
- Plugin: superpowers@claude-plugins-official v5.0.4
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- Install path:
C:\Users\honza\.claude\plugins\cache\claude-plugins-official\superpowers\5.0.4
Steps to reproduce
- Install superpowers plugin (
superpowers@claude-plugins-official) - Verify plugin is installed and enabled (shows in
/pluginmanager with green dot) - Verify skill exists:
~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-plugins-official/superpowers/5.0.4/skills/writing-clearly-and-concisely/SKILL.md - Type
/writing-clearly-and-conciselyor/suin the chat input - Skill does not appear in autocomplete or available commands
Expected behavior
The skill should appear as an invocable slash command, similar to other superpowers skills like /simplify or /loop.
Actual behavior
- The skill is not listed in the system-reminder's available skills
- Typing
/sushows no matches - Other skills from the same plugin version DO work (e.g.,
simplify,loop)
Investigation
installed_plugins.jsonconfirms version 5.0.4 is activeSKILL.mdfrontmatter is valid and identical in format to other working skills- The skill was added in 5.0.4 (not present in 5.0.0 or 5.0.2)
- All other skills from 5.0.4 are discoverable
