Problem Statement

Right now the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT resolves to the cached version of a plugin: ~/.claude/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/<plugin_name>/<version>/

this works great but also causes an issue with a marketplace that has shared files and scripts that are reused across plugins. Such as a metrics logging script or json or html template file.

Proposed Solution

I'd like to have an env var: CLAUDE_PLUGIN_MARKETPLACE_DIR that evaluates to the marketplace location:

~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/<marketplace>

this would allow us to use hooks and scripts from the SKILL.md and point it to a location in the marketplace with the shared code and scripts.
