What's Wrong?

I submitted a plugin called Tidy on Apr 27, 2026 via the Plugin Submissions portal. The submission shows a green "Published" status badge on my Plugin Submissions page, indicating it was successfully published.

However, the plugin does not appear anywhere in the Claude Code official plugins directory. Other users cannot find or install it through the official listing.

Plugin details:

• Name: Tidy
• Submitted: Apr 27, 2026
• Status shown: Published (green badge)
• Description: Audit and clean up any Git repo. Five focused skills find stale docs, dead code, convention violations, and folder stragglers — then fix them with reversible, per-category commits. A pre-tidy snapshot makes the whole cleanup undoable in one git reset. Adapts to any stack (Python, Node, Go, Rust, Ruby, and more).

The plugin is marked as published in the submission portal but is completely absent from the official Claude Code plugins directory.

What Should Happen?

A plugin with a 'Published' status in the Plugin Submissions portal should be visible and discoverable in the Claude Code official plugins directory so that other users can find and install it.

Additional Information

A screenshot of the Plugin Submissions page showing the Tidy plugin with a green "Published" badge is attached below. The submission date shown is Apr 27, 2026.

Despite the "Published" status, the plugin does not appear in the Claude Code official plugins directory. This appears to be a backend sync/publishing pipeline issue where the status is updated but the plugin listing is not actually updated.

Note: This issue is specifically about the plugin publication workflow, not about Claude Code CLI behavior itself.
